tomorrow, we get to try it all over again

Yesterday I got pretty exhausted with mothering. It was just one of those days where things keep happening one after another. As much as I love having an infant, there are times that can be really trying on me. Owen was so run down from being over tired yesterday that he had [...]

waiting for that phone call

It’s the call that you dread, but you know is coming.  I just got that call.  Andy’s Grandfather has gone home to be with the Lord.  He was an amazing man and a tremendous example to Andy and his family.  He will be so greatly missed.  We were so fortunate to be able to spend [...]

you see colors differently than me

My son is a genius. Of course, I believe this because I am his mother. But it is true. Deacon always amazes Andy and me with how quickly he can pick up new concepts. He has all his letters and numbers down cold. But there’s one area that he isn’t [...]

ahhhhhh

There are three sounds that you’ll hear in our house quite often. First, you will hear the whistle of the kettle telling us that the water is boiling. Second, you will hear the whir of our coffee grinder turning our whole coffee beans into coarsely ground goodness. And finally, you will hear [...]

Yes, I will ride that horse once again

Yesterday, I had the privilege of playing music for a young mothers conference that was here in Columbia. It featured the speaker, Ginger Plowman, who I actually really enjoyed. There were two sessions in the conference. For each session, I played 2 group songs for everyone to sing together and one [...]
