Like shooting stars going to their syrup castle…
Pin itI made heart waffles for the kids for their Valentine morning breakfast. I realized, too late, that we were uncomfortably low on syrup. In an effort to make it stretch… I let the kids dip their waffle hearts into little bowls of syrup. And use their fingers. Uh-huh, “fun mom” here. My Lucy… my [...]
Dear 2010…
Pin it I am thankful. For family. For friends. For meaningful relationships. For the birth of new ones. For the understanding of long-standing ones. For life. For love. For my God and his mercies. Not deserving. But needing. I am thankful. For the gift of each new year. For memories. For history. For hope. I [...]
Sweet Sixteen – Happy Anniversary to We
Pin it 16 years, ya’ll. The 16 years I had to wait to get my driver’s license seemed like FOREVER. So have the past 16 years. These last 16 years have FLOWN, ya’ll.

Can I Snuggle You?
Pin itMy youngest. Oh how she loves to snuggle. LOVES. Passion of her heart. When Lucy starts to spiral… when her behavior takes a turn for the worse… when she gets weepy or defiant or when stress rises across the whole family… I have to remind myself, “My girl needs to connect. She needs to [...]
Remembering The Thanks and WhatHaveYou
Pin itEvery year… that I remember to get it out… since 2007… I have my family and anyone I can pin down with whom we are celebrating Thanksgiving, write in our Thanksgiving journal. They just write what they are thankful for. And for the wee-ones, someone will transcribe. I wish I had thought to start [...]

A surprise little treasure from my youngest. She LOVES bringing me bouquets of dandelions. The weeds flowers do not last, but the love behind the [...]

World Autism Awareness Day

Make WE Laugh Monday – My Littlest Girl and Rainbow Licorice
Pin itWho knows if this is half as funny as it was to me. But you know how moms are… we all think OUR kid is the smartest, the funniest and cutest… And really, what happened Sunday morning was probably more adorable and ushy-gushy precious than funny. Maybe. Naw. It was funny. 4 year olds [...]
