He’s the Man…

And he's on "duty" while I'm nervously hob-nobbing at Haven today.   In the spirit of Father's Day we're celebrating "our" men over at Fancy Little Things this week, so I invite you to come meet my other half, the leaver of love notes and back flipper off the dock. :) And he's not bad to look at, either. :) Have a blessed day!   … [Read more...]

I confess I'm looking forward to the end of school for myself and my kids (though I will miss my Little Ones terribly!).  We're ready for some down time around here! It's been a difficult month for us, but I spent some time over the weekend thinking about all the things I loved about April.  A great exercise during hard times... 1.  My … [Read more...]

Healing

I'm not going to lie ~ it felt good to unplug just a bit. Much as I love and appreciate you all, I just haven't had anything good to share the past week. The kids and I circled the wagons. My oldest son travelled to the funeral with his dad, read a poem, read scripture from some font of strength for the 2000 people that gathered to mourn sweet Kaely Camacho.  I watched him become a man this week. I loved on my own 13 year old, who's … [Read more...]

A Short Break…

Dear friends, My heart is heavy and concentrated on my children this week, as we mourn the loss of one of their sweet cousins. When they gather again this summer, this heart will be one young person smaller. One man's choice to get behind the wheel while intoxicated has changed this family forever. Last week I posted about my "faceless angel" painting.  That painting has a face to me now.  One with blue eyes and blonde hair and a … [Read more...]
