My Summertime Bag
I’ve been looking for a fun bag for summertime and finally found it. At Wal-Mart, of all places. I am seriously not a fan of that place, but every once in a while they do really good by me.
When I happened upon the wallet and phone case at Target I knew it was meant to be, so I snatched them up to finish out the scene. I know its ridiculous to be this excited over some accessories, but...

From Where I Stand
-I recently discovered the wonder that is Jergens Natural Glow lotion. Which, by the way, is the only reason I have decided that shorts are a viable option this year. And no they did not pay me, but if they would like to I will gladly take payment in the form of more bottles of lotion, please.
-We’re now less than a month away from the end of school and our church’s VBS program....

Dear April
Dear April,
I do believe you will go down on the books as the busiest month of the year. While you were here we celebrated a 38th, a 9th, and a 39th birthdays. We also ushered in our 12th wedding anniversary, the kick off for VBS registration, the start of evening walks, a special trip to the theater, and a hotel sleepover party. Oh, and we had our first 100 degree day, which we used as a...

Just One Minute
Have you ever had one of those seasons when life seems to be moving at record speed, and all you want to do is just stand still for one solid minute? That is the story of my life right now.
I’m doing my best to remind myself that this season really will eventually come to end, and when it does I’ll be able to resume the slower pace of life I love so very much. In the meantime...

Dear March 2013
Dear March,
You were such a lovely month. The difficulties of last year have been eased and I’m so very thankful for that. The things that were so hard one year ago were filled with light this year, the way only Jesus can do, and because of it we had such a fun month of celebrating…big girl carseats, first bike rides, spring break, new boxes of sidewalk chalk, garden time, house...

A Lovely Week
The kids were on Spring Break last week, so we spent as much time outside as we possibly could. We went to the zoo, played on the slip & slide, and rode bikes (Piper’s first big girl bike ride!). And since the kids got along like two peas in a pod for 4 out of the 5 days, it was a really lovely week.
Here’s hoping this week is just as lovely!

You were the month of making up for lost time. All the days that were lost in January to the flu and colds were more than made up for while you were here.

Dear January 2013
Dear January,
You were a nice way to start off this new year, but I must confess that I’m glad you’re gone. I could have done without the weeks and weeks worth of sickies that floated around the house and the freezing cold temps that came our way. That crazy cold weather was fun for the first day or two, but for us desert folk it quickly began to feel a bit like torture. You did...

Sick Day
I kept telling myself I wasn’t getting sick, but apparently my body didn’t hear me. Thank goodness for chicken noodle soup, the new West Elm catalog that came in the mail today, and the fact that my kids think I’m the coolest mom ever because I’m letting them watch Netflix Kids every time they ask.

Laughing it Out
You know those weeks when a bunch of smallish stuff happens all in a row, and if you don’t laugh at it you’ll just burst into tears? I’ve been doing a whole lot of laughing this past week.

Henry accidentally pulled too hard on the car door handle and broke it right off.
