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…

Two Long Years
Today has been two years since my mom passed. Two very long years. Mother’s Day cards are filling stores. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about buying one for my mom. It’s almost like my brain forgets for a moment. I would like to say it’s gotten easier. I guess in some ways it has, but the…
Slime
“WHAT are we making?” “EEWWWwwwww“, and then there were giggles all around. Mix equal parts of liquid starch and clear glue. Add a FEW drops of food coloring and mix well. (You may have to mix it some with your fingers.) *This slime will not stain your fingers after it has been mixed well! Also, the longer it’s worked, the…
Unexpected Van Repairs
Are these not the two most smiling folks you have ever seen after having dealt with a car issue? We couldn’t help but smile. Our van roof has a rusty spot that has been leaking. We decided to sprinkle some carpet fresh into the carpet so that it might help with the musty odor of the van. I actually joked…
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…
Book Review: Mommy Loves You So Much!
This month has found me traveling with Paul. I have enjoyed seeing new and beautiful places, but I sure have missed my babies! Being a momma is different than I ever imagined it would be- no one could have prepared me for what it would be like to love someone so much. Your heart begins to grow outside of your…
Texas 2015 (Part 2- San Antonio)

We were on the road early from Houston toward San Antonio. Paul had decided he wanted to eat lunch at The Canyon Café. It is located not far from town…
Teddy Bear Breakfast and Shirley Temples
How many times do we have plans and ideas and thoughts on things we want to do with our children? I wish I could say I was better about following though. The truth is I have lots and lots of ideas and very little time, as most days are full of what must be done to make our family go.…
