Song of My Heart

Song of My Heart

Have you ever heard a piece of music that so completely speaks to you? Okay, this may sound strange, but I was in the car the other day and listening to mp3’s.  (That by itself is not really strange).  I have a love of big […]

Umm, What Was That Again?

Warning–this post contains information of emergency urological kind.  If you are squeamish, stop reading and enjoy this picture of lovely flowers.  If you dare read on… Okay, we’ll continue… Acroboy came to me yesterday and complained of unusual pain in his groin.  He has a […]

How Do You Guide Your Child Who Sabotaged His Brother’s Scout Efforts?

How Do You Guide Your Child Who Sabotaged His Brother’s Scout Efforts?

Remember last week when I posted that Whirlwind was complaining about going on the scout camp out?  And that I mentioned it was an important camp out for both boys? Whirlwind sabotaged his brother.  I just don’t know if it was intentional or not. One […]

Urgent Care visit for eye injury

Until a little over a year ago, I had never had to get stitches for any of my kids–even though I have some daredevils with ADHD.  Then, in December 2011, Lawboy thought it would be funny to scare Acroboy.  He did and Acroboy jumped and […]

My Old Nemesis Anxiety is Back

My Old Nemesis Anxiety is Back

We’re getting down to the wire now–Baby girl is due in a little over a month. For the last two years I’ve served as the head of our women’s organization at church.  Lately the needs of my family have increased.  The bishop asked me if […]

Good News and Bad News

Good News and Bad News

I haven’t written in some time (I’ve been feeling poorly).  So much has happened.   First of all, I had good intentions for the summer with keeping us scheduled, but in all honesty, I should have planned for more downtime.  Trying to do swim lessons and […]

Getting Answers We Don’t Want

Getting Answers We Don’t Want

In January I posted about letting go, it has been a real struggle to do that.  I didn’t want to give up if it was in the Lord’s plan for my husband and I to have more children, but I was trying to let go […]
