I had not intended to remark on the personal birthing choice of two celebs who have been filling up the headlines lately. The concept of silent birth means there should be no noise during the birth and the baby should not be spoken to for a week after. This supposedly keeps the trauma of birth [...]

My conscience…
has blue eyes, blondish-brown hair, and is 6 years old. Today my conscience was my son, because my own didn\’t kick in. Or, worse, I ignored it and carried on regardless of right or wrong. There is a song Joel learned at Vacation Bible School this past summer. There is a part in the song [...]

Outbursts of love…
In the New International Version translation of Hebrews 10:24, it reads, \”And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.\” I know there is controversy over different Bible translations, but I love the New Living Translation version: \”Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love [...]

Happy News
I was listening to talk radio one morning, and I heard an interview about happynews.com. I visited the site, and found the news to be, well, happy. Good. Nice. Refreshing. The weather was happy. The horoscope was even ?happy? (and I am not a \”horoscope\” person). The news was good. I\’m a regular now. I [...]

Rolling, Sitting, Scooting

Whacky
This how my baby girl gets when she doesn\’t want something. Sweet Baby Lucy and her six-month-old self is communicating beyond vocal measures. Sweet Baby Lucy uses both hands both arms to communicate \”Step Back!\”. She whacks her food (flinging rice cereal – good times… ). She whacks her bottle. She whacks toys; she\’ll whack [...]

I’m “older”
I sat the local paper on my counter. As I thumbed through the few pages, I saw an article about a local business – one of the bars in town. It had been closed because new owners took over. The article was written because it was finally opening again… The owner talked about “older crowds” [...]
Family
Overuse of the word \”Season\”
Proceed with caution… It\’s a new season for this family. Literally, fall is upon us! This brings the much anticipated Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte\’. Even a car full of screamers can\’t take away the comfort and peace that the Pumpkin Spice Latte\’ feeds my Fall-lovin\’ soul. It\’s a new season because school started last month. [...]

Me Thinks She Doth Protest Too Much!
Why??? Because wee-little Lucy is teething. It seems she has been teething for months – at least 1/3 of her little six-month life-span. Yet, there are still no little sharpies emerging. My poor little baby is miserable. If baby ain\’t happy, ain\’t nobody happy. Out of this teething trial I have come up with a [...]
