My daughter the Tooth Fairy

We joined the 30 Day Giving Challenge this month, not because we are the greatest example of giving, but because we see the need to be more giving.  It is so easy to be consumed with our own every day details and problems and forget the greater picture.  Also, I’ve been so blessed and inspired… [continue reading]

Secrets from Mommy

Joy and Faith were whispering in the bathroom.  “Girls!” I put on my mom voice, “you need to go to your rooms for quiet time.”  They came out snickering and I noticed Joy was hiding a little booklet.  “What’s going on?” I asked.  They hemmed and hawed, but neither one said anything.  It all seemed… [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]

An IHop Date with Joy

IHop is a great place to go for an inexpensive meal date with one of your children.  Kids eat free after five (call to make sure it’s the same at your local restaurant) with the purchase of an adult entree.  Joy was so excited to pick her own meal from the children’s menu.  To be… [continue reading]

My Little Brother

My daughter Faith, age nine, is guest posting for me today! Little Jason is my silly brother.  I love him.  One day after nap time Little Jason woke up in a bad mood.  Mom put him in Joy’s room, but he cried when Mom left the room.  So I went in Joy’s room and he… [continue reading]

A Joyful Mom Moment

One morning Joy woke up early and while I was still sleeping worked on this poster for me.  When I walked into the kitchen she presented it.  What a sweet way to wake up!  I keep this beside me bed.  Sometimes a mom just needs to remember words like these.

Mother and Daughter Time

With four children it is pretty rare to get to spend time with just one child.  Faith’s AWANA Truth and Training class put on some very wonderful events.  This picture was taken at the Mother/Daughter Tea.  It is such a special time!  I love that a photographer takes pictures every year!  As I am usually… [continue reading]

The Girls Threw a Bible Party!

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Faith and Joy worked endlessly all morning writing out verses.  “We’re going to have a Bible Party tonight,” they said.  They kept adding to their plans.  “Can we have party food?”  I told her she was free to make it–and she did!  For those of you that know I’ve been… [continue reading]
