Beautiful Calling

  Physio and occupational therapy have been a part of our lives from the very beginning. June 2012 Isaac turned one year and it was time to set our therapy goal for the year. Our goal seemed lofty: Isaac to be able to sit by his second birthday. At the time, Isaac was just rolling [...]

So hot…quite hot…with some rain. Interesting. Praying for good weather while at Disney World but regardless, *God Reigns and the Son still Shines*! Only 2 more sleeps until we leave… {*dad saw that quote that on a sign somewhere}

Last year we build the back yard playground and this year, we’re still finishing it up. This year, we’ve built the frame and have been busy hauling the chips in to fill it. I really wanted to put some nice woodchips around the area but didn’t want to pay an absolute fortune. Did you know [...]

My tots love baking. Mommy The tots love to eat said baking. Isaac is particularly in love with watching the mixer spin around and around. Baking with littles is fun, time-consuming and messy. It’s also worth it. {did I mention it was messy?} Side note: The messy kitchen? That wasn’t actually from the Whoopie Pie [...]

My little tots had photos done the other day. KS Photography did a beautiful job on the photos. I’m so happy with them. My goal for our photos was everyone looking happy – direction wasn’t so important.   {Chloe 6 ~ John 4 ~ Isaac 21 months}   I’d say met our goal. Everyone looks [...]

It’s been a few weeks since I had the opportunity to go to the Mom Heart Conference. I’m still processing, working through and implementing the things I heard and learned. I’m a slow processor. Something that I came home from the conference mulling over was about my ‘children’s emotional cup’. Now let me start by [...]

I love spring. It’s my second favorite time of year. I love the snow melting, the temperatures warming up,  the budding trees…we even spotted our first robin this morning! Another fantastic part of spring? Chocolate! Sweet chocolate. Oh, how I love chocolate. {Yes, I just burst into song!}. For our family, the resurrection is the [...]

{Isaac’s MRI photos from 2012 – he’s so cute!!} In June of 2011 when Isaac was born, he had his first MRI at a week old and a second at 2 weeks old. He’d had some rapid head growth and a few other concerns that warranted these tests, along with others. The MRI revealed that [...]

Last fall a friend of mine, Brianna {Heart(h) Management}, whom I have never met in real life, invited me to attend Mom Heart. I’d never heard of it and had barely heard of Sally Clarkson. On a whim, I said yes all those months ago and today I find myself boarding a plane, heading off [...]

Dear Sweet Chloe, How proud mama is of you and the person you are becoming. You are happy, helpful and full of giggles. Six is a big number you tell me. But then again, you told me three was a big number, and four, and five…oh, how you make me laugh. And how my heart [...]
