Happy Birthday, Matthew!
Each year I’m astonished by how much Matthew changes. He was a gift to our family during a time when there was much sadness. Paul’s mom had passed unexpectedly. Matthew’s birth was joyful. It was sweet to watch those who were so sad, looking at his tiny hands and feet, and into his tiny face and smiling once again. We…
Book Review: Noah’s Noisy Zoo
My little ones adore new books. We look at thrift stores and yard sales. Occasionally, I will find one in a store I want to buy for the littles, but generally, we find them used. I love to find books that inspire their imaginations and feed their curiosity. They need to have a wholesome message and I love when they…
We’re Off to Tennessee!
Last week, found us in Tennessee! Paul had a work event planned for Blountsville. That is quite a drive! So close in fact, that we found ourselves accidentally crossing over into Virginia at one time. I’m always thankful for the quiet time during the day while he works. This time, I worked on some book reviews I needed to finish.…

She spent some time at my house and I spent lots of time with her. I was always amazed at her big, Italian family. I remember her mom brushing…

ETHAN Project
Have you started thinking about summer with your children yet? The temperatures here are near 90 this week. It’s a reminder that spring is coming to a quick close and summer is arriving. I’ve been thinking about the last few years. I always had plans for summer fun. I wanted the children to go into fall with memories of exciting…
Texas 2015 (Part 3- Fort Worth/Dallas)
Texas is beautiful. (Paul and I eating at an Italian diner and watching the rain fall across from our hotel.) The wildflowers are blooming. The bluebonnets especially, have come to life- they are magnificent. Our last stop on our Texas trip was Fort Worth. The very best thing I did when arriving in Fort Worth was walk to the…

The Aroma of My Heart
I’ve been taken with our roses lately. I find myself lingering over them- dreaming of a time when the entire rose bed might be full of blooms, watching the bees buzz as they do their daily work while we enjoy the fruits of their labor. I cut several stems a few nights back. They are arranged in vases on the…
