My adventures as a mom, a theologian's wife, and an ex-pat across the pond...& back again!
A Handmade Gift for That Special Girl in Your Life Okay…here it is. It’s gift season. So, it’s not Christmas, granted, but between Mother’s Day, Graduation, Teacher Appreciation, and summer birthdays, there are a lot of women out there hoping for fabulous gifts. And if you’re like me, you have a monetary budget that doesn’t [...]
Since we have a breakfast nook, we wanted to make sure we used the space well. It has been my dream for a long time to have a space where the kids could be with me while I cook or prep {without being underfoot!}. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and want [...]
It has become my tradition to re-post this for our anniversary…I did add a few pics at the end. ;) Well, it has been 12 years now. 12 wonderful, sweet years with my best friend! It’s so funny having everybody know us as we are NOW- married, 3 kids, student, stay-at-home mom. When we got [...]
Yes, you read that correctly…I have a garden. When we bought this house and it had a “plumbed garden box,” I knew I had to plant stuff. And I did mean stuff…thankfully, I have a good friend {shout out, Lisa Branham} who told me what to buy, how to prep, and then showed up to [...]
On Wednesday, I got to celebrate both the big kids in different ways. Luke actually celebrated me in a Mommy’s Day tea at his school. It was so precious. I just love him. He sang a song, God Made Me Special and there’s a line that says “There’s No One Like Me.” In that this [...]
I mentioned in my last post that Lizzie is 18 months. I’m not sure where the time has gone, but I will admit 18 months is one of my favorite ages in that they’re still baby but also toddling {remember, my kids walk LATE!}, a little independent, still quite dependent. Words are coming, and so [...]
On Friday, we spent the afternoon at the park. I love seeing all 3 running around with friends {and, in Lizzie’s case, away from me- arg!}. I don’t have pics of everything, but here are some.. Cannon Hill Park- we walk there from our house and love it! My theory is that you don’t have [...]
We are a little behind on our bicycle skills around here…I blame it on being in Scotland, with little storage space and terrible sidewalks…but I know it’s mostly that we just didn’t ride bikes! We are rectifying that now. Rebekah got a HUGE bike with no training wheels last summer for her birthday from Josh’s [...]
{I was blessed with a new template for this lovely blog and am working thru some kinks as everything updates…hopefully, this post will come in its entirety!} Luke turned 5 this week! He is such a sweet, kind, tender, charming, funny, winsome, smart little guy. He has really blossomed from a hesitant, dependent baby to [...]
Just trying to figure out why we’re getting a 404 error on the blog posts…
