Our First Valentine’s Day

First Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and it always reminded me of my first Valentine’s Day with Jason way back when… We had been dating for just over four months.  I was young and in love!  Not only was it Valentine’s Day, but it was also a Friday, so I could stay out late… [continue reading]

Our Love Story: how I met my man

It was 24 years ago that Jason and I first met! Here is the beginning of our love story: Graduated college not married?

From Tears to Smiles

Esther and I have become BlogFrog buddies, and I am delighted to be guest posting for her today! Emmy was crying as if her little four-year-old heart was broken. She ran to the window, waving at her Daddy and sister as they drove away early that morning. They were going skiing up in Wisconsin. Since… [continue reading]

My Mother/Daughter Date with Joy

We had a lovely conversation over cinnamon rolls!  I can’t express enough how fun it is for ME to get out with just one child for some one-on-one time.  It  is amazing how sweet each one is when not competing with their siblings!  It’s also amazing how sweet mama can be when not refereeing!  😉 … [continue reading]

Date with my Son

It’s hard to believe that I began planned one-on-one time with the kids in September and I still have not taken all of them out for their date!  I suppose I am much slower these days! Little Jason has had a rough time with the new baby transition.  It seems like he is left out… [continue reading]

An IHop Date with Joy

Mommy and Me Date with Joy

Joy started out the AWANA year with half of last year’s book to complete.  I kept thinking that my kids would be self-motivated to work on their verses without me having to push them to do it.  There are plenty of incentives worked into the AWANA program after all, but it just didn’t happen.  So… [continue reading]

A Funny Thing Happened on a Date

Here’s another story from my college days.  I was happy to be attending a concert put on by our small Bible college with a very nice guy named John.  I always thought dressing up and going to something special once in a while was great fun, but I wasn’t brave enough to go to these… [continue reading]
