At the end of last week, after not seeing my husband for days at a time, and never having a break from the house and kids, I came up with a great idea. Get out of town! I was sure that 4 days without kids was just what I needed. I was feeling a lot…
Find-Capture-Share
We have a house guest this weekend, and CandyMan is actually going to be home, so I will be spending time with my family all day. Yay! Instead of writing my stories, today I am going to be finding some new stories. I thought I’d leave you with this short video about Cherish Bound. I…
My Mom Logic
Next Tuesday, CandyMan and I will celebrate our 14th anniversary. After I got married back in April 1995, having kids seemed like the logical next step. I’d always known that I wanted to be a mom. In fact, as a kid in Sunday school, I distinctly remember the day when my teacher asked our class…
Happy Birthday!
My sweet little twin buddies turned one today! Happy Birthday, Pirate and Professor! My kids were thrilled to spend the day with their adopted Uncle AND eat cake and drink soda on top of that. The weather was perfect for a day lounging outside with friends. Ahhhh! Perfection. PS–I have to clarify for those who…
Harper’s Ferry (and an Old Fence)
I’ve been eager to share our trip to Harper’s Ferry this week, and waiting for the perfect time. And then I realized–our trip would be perfect for A Thousand Words Thursday. And, to top it off, a bunch of the pictures fit perfectly with this week’s You Capture theme–Rustic. So please forgive me while I…
Wordful (That’s My Sister!) Wednesday
Back in the summer of 2001, when Twizzler was just a few months old, we were planning our trip to visit my in-laws in Florida. Having my 3rd child had kind of put me over the edge. Physically and emotionally, I was having a hard time adjusting. So as we planned the trip, I thought…
Can You Tell I Bribed Them?
Is it obvious that my kids don’t like the fact that I force this tradition upon them every Spring Break? Can you tell that I was furious with AJ for stepping in front of the camera and constantly trying to get in the picture? (notice that first picture–he was not supposed to be in there)…
My Spring Break Top 10

How do YOU celebrate EASTER? Repost
Happy Easter, everyone! I thought I’d repost a little something I wrote last year around this time. Enjoy! A conversation I had this weekend with some friends got me thinking about Easter traditions, so I thought I’d share what our family does. First of all, a week or two before Easter, we decorate eggs. I…
