You’ve seen this photo of our wedding before. It’s my favorite from our entire book of wedding photos and the one that I usually have hanging or propped some where visible. Several years ago when we only had three children, Jason and I went to a company dinner and a couple from church came over . . . → Read More: You never know what kids will say Since St. Patrick’s Day was on a Saturday and Jason would be home all day I didn’t want to spend all day in the kitchen making three different meals like I did the year before. We had a simple breakfast and then for lunch I splurged, using the money that we’ve earned blogging, and took . . . → Read More: The Lorax Movie Yep this is what I actually asked my girls. “Tell me one thing you would change about Mom if you could.” Constructive criticism is a good thing right? I put it out there and yet I still cringed inwardly and braced myself for what they would say. I always have them answer littlest to biggest . . . → Read More: What would you change about Mom? “Mom I sneezed and hurt my finger.” Joy age 7 “That’s Fee Fye Foe.” Sure enough Little Jason age 3 had his biggest action figure guy on the top of his biggest toy. “Yeah mom you’re still just a little fat…but I can hardly tell.” Faith age 10.

Not to be out done by a child, I explained that, . . . → Read More: That Frown Might Get Stuck! My three girls were all asked this question between the ages of four and five. Faith said she wanted to be a “cooker.” She loves food every bit as much as I do. When Joy was in pre-school she was asked this question on camera along with all the other little girls. Every other girl . . . → Read More: What do you want to be when you grow up? Summer has been a much needed and anticipated break from school work. Oh to wake up and not have to make the kids get started on their math has been so refreshing. I do, however, keep them reading. We have joined three different library reading clubs as well as the clubs from retail bookstores. They . . . → Read More: How We Are Spending Our Summer This morning as I was waiting for my sister Miriam to arrive to stay with my kids while I went to my doctor’s appointment, I heard Joy shriek, “Mom!
