When Mom gets good and mad…

The phone rang early last week. Seeing my husband was on the other end, I picked up. His employer wanted to send him to Sweetwater, Texas to look at some buildings, and he wanted to know what I thought. Why I’d love to visit Sweetwater!! You know how much I love to travel! A couple… [continue reading]

Not my worst day

It was a stressful day.  I was telling my husband about it.  It began with taking my oldest for her root canal appointment.  Yes, we went with the root canal.  I’ll tell you more about that another day, but it did go well.  My two boys have been running a fever so that just adds… [continue reading]

Mother/Daughter Tea

This event at our church was also put on by my daughter’s AWANA Truth and Training club.  I have looked forward to it each year.  While some families include all the girls in the family, I take pleasure in sending all the rest home and spending some time with my oldest girl! Here are a… [continue reading]

Communication with Confidence

My mom Frieda had been without internet pretty much ever since she got home from visiting us when Bobby was born.  Previously, she had done a lot of editing for me and had written for my blog once in a while to. I am somewhat self-conscious about my grammar, spelling, and punctuation, so I felt… [continue reading]

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]

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]

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]

The So-Called “Sob Syndrome”

My mom Frieda is guest posting for me today.   I have heard her tell parts of this story many times, but some of this I didn’t remember her telling me at all.  It’s so neat to have these memories written down.  Enjoy! When Esther was about six months old, she was sitting on the floor… [continue reading]

Moms—We Don’t Know It All

It was a mom’s gathering with activities for my oldest two.  There was a meal included, and I could bring my youngest two with me.  Free food, fun and fellowship!  How could I refuse?  Oh, but I wish I had. I didn’t know any of the ladies that I was placed with but was happy… [continue reading]
