I mentioned last Saturday that I was going to focus on one Fishful Thinking ingredient each month between now and June. February is Optimism month. I thought I’d post a little overview of what optimism is and why it’s important (as parents especially) to focus on this great value! From FishfulThinking.com, I found a list…
Elevator Pitch
I love Mama Kat’s Writer’s Prompts and the way they get me thinking….especially on days when I am stuck home with sick kids and think I don’t have anything to write about. Yep, that’s me today. Reese went into the doctor yesterday with a case of strep. The rest of our plans for the week…
Fears? Conquered! A WordFul Wednesday
Necco was born terrified of animals. It didn’t matter how small, cute, or gentle the animal was. She didn’t want to be anywhere near it. Her greatest fear has always been dogs, but even creatures as tiny as butterflies gave her the creeps. When we saw a dog across the street, she would literally climb…
The Santa Hat Picture
The traditional Santa Hat picture is one of those annual traditions that my kids don’t know they love yet. Ever since AJ’s first Christmas, I’ve lined the kids up, stuck Santa hats on their heads, and made them smile for the camera. OK, I take that back. Not even I can make my kids smile…

I Heart Faces-Pets Only!
It’s Pets Week again on i heart faces! I don’t have a pet, so pictures of pets can be hard to come by. Doesn’t it figure, though, that in a week we will be at my in laws’ house, which is filled with cute animals? I’ll stock pile the pet pictures for later. Go see…

The Number of Prayers
Here’s what Tabitha from Fresh Mommy Blog says about Sunday Citar: “Have you come across a quote that inspired you? Or made you want to spit? Or made you smile? Or reminded you of someone special? Or reminded you of someone you try not to remember? Well, share it! Sunday Citar was born out of…
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.”…
