I've been too lazy in teaching my kids about God. Here's a typical Sunday morning at our house: 7:30am- The husband wakes up and starts getting ready. This is probably the one day of the week that he wakes up earlier than me and I sleep later BECAUSE I CAN. 7:45am- I roll out … Continue reading Confession #15
I've been afraid of my kids being "different". (PS- It's been...uhm...months since I've written a post on here. Ooops. I've been a little busy with this thing called MOTHERHOOD. Forgive me.) Before I had kids, I would look at other kids and parents and judge them *gasp* and proclaim that my kids would be … Continue reading Confession #14
I'm tired of being tired. I am a working wife and mama of three kids age 7, 6 and 3. (Also two dogs that I tolerate. That's about as deep as it goes.) This is how a typical night goes at our house: 8pm- The husband lays down with our little man, who still has … Continue reading Confession #13
I'm overcome today. For some reason, this week my Facebook feed has been filled with the incredible joy and intense sorrow that motherhood brings. One friend welcomed a healthy new baby into the world. One friend gave birth prematurely and is still waiting to bring her child home. One friend finally got the call they … Continue reading Motherhood- Joy and Sorrow
This was originally posted on my devotional blog, Mirror of Ink, in 2010. Sometimes my kids drive me crazy. Yesterday was one of those days. Zoey is 3 1/2 and Kylie will be 2 next week. I'm sure there are scientific explanations for why they act the way they do at this age. Most … Continue reading Confession #12
Sometimes I feel i.n.v.i.s.i.b.l.e. Kind of like a shadow. I know people "see" me, but it's just a blurry outline- a resemblance of my true identity. (Believe me, I know people see me. Especially little people. It's evidenced in the eleventyhundred times daily I hear "MOM! Can I......?") Before marriage and motherhood I was … Continue reading Confession #11
Today is Father's Day. I'm a bit late to the blogging game because I've been enjoying the day with my own wonderful dad. But from the very start of the day, although my heart was filled with gratitude for the incredible men in my life, it has also been filled with grief. This morning, … Continue reading To Those For Whom Father’s Day Is Hard…
Sometimes other women intimidate me. My husband asked me if I was nervous. I knew I shouldn't be, but I was. I knew it was silly, but I was just being realistic. I was headed to a two-day retreat with a bunch of other youth pastor's wives that I didn't know. I was about to … Continue reading Confession #10
I take a lot of selfies. I rest my case. (Do you notice I have a thing for posing with coffee? I'm a dork.) I have seen several blog posts and articles saying that selfies are linked to mental disorders, narcissism, addiction, etc. People are saying that selfies are making our society more … Continue reading Confession #9
I am a working mom, and I love it. I'm not here to debate the hot topic of Working Mom VS Stay at Home Mom. I'm here to take out the VS all together. I am blessed to have what I consider to be the best job in the world. I am the director of … Continue reading Confession #8
