It’s amazing how messages sometimes come at just the right time. When I watched this video this morning I felt grateful. Grateful because I recognized that my hope has been restored. A couple of months ago, I had lost my hope. I was consumed by despair because of the stresses of our current situation. Starting…
Christmas Photo Outtakes
Capturing a decent family picture is a tricky business. It’s hard enough when you’re working with a photographer. But add the additional element of tripod and timer and it’s an adventure, to say the least. I was looking through last year’s Christmas-season pictures in preparation for I Heart Faces‘ Hilarious Outtakes theme this week. I…
The Spirit of Christ(mas)
Brandie from the Rudy Family Rukus is a mom of 3 (you’ve GOT to check out the gorgeous pictures of her family), a fantastic blogger, nurse, and scrap-booker. She’s also a genuine, friendly person. She shared this video with her readers last weekend, and was kind enough to re-post it here for me here while…
Holiday Feast With Walmart (Gift Card Giveaway!)
I love cooking for the holidays. I have all of my traditional dishes that I have to cook every year (or it wouldn’t be the holidays!). My meal includes ham, a family-favorite potato dish, jello, rolls, beans, salad, and pies. Feeding my own family of 7 is pricey enough, but adding friends and family for…
Happy {Insert Holiday Here}
The older my kids get, the busier the holiday season becomes. That’s 5 kids who are involved in boy and girl scouts, choirs, youth activities at church, plays at school and orchestra. And each of those activities seem to schedule some kind of Winter presentation. This morning, I headed to the elementary school to hear…

In The Spirit of Thanksgiving
This video makes me smile. I am thankful for so many things. But mostly I am thankful for a strong family, good friends, and faith in God. Those are the things that last. Those are the things that can’t be taken away by tough times. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day.
1-2-3 Bypass
Last night, I came up to my bedroom to head to bed and found CandyMan at my computer, watching silly old videos of the kids when they were small. What memories these videos brought back! And how much my kids have changed. In this short clip, KitKat was 7, Necco was 4 1/2 (the same…
The Torturer
Unprompted commentary from my 4 year old son while he was brushing his teeth for bed tonight: “Mom, I used to be in your stomach. I was like a big egg. I was a big, huge torturer in your stomach. I was a torturer. And you were fat. And I kicked you in your tummy.”…
