You (Yes, YOU) Are More…

I love love love this song, the message, the meaning, the life, the truth, the forgiveness, the lifting of shame! This song is so absolutely the message I want each and every dear person I love, to know… to accept… and to simply breathe in the amazing scent of absolute, complete and totally unconditional love!!

Snow Days and Exploding Stuffies

Snow. It’s the one thing that can make life as we know it completely come to a screeching halt. After a long four day weekend for the children, everyone was gearing up for a short 4 day week. But it was not to be. Although school was in session on Tuesday, with the exception of [...]

Peacefully to Bed

Two Princes

Once upon a time two little Princes went happily off to sleep each night with a bedtime prayer and story in their quiet home and room…. As the years went on however, this story did not get so “happily ever after”.  As more Princes joined the story, bedtime got a little less peaceful and a [...]

Imagination Movers Big Warehouse Tour

It’s Wednesday and I have a brand new layout (wooo) happy Wordless Wednesday my friends. Today though we are taking a leap back in time… to 2004 to be exact! This layout features Quietness (a kit by SAS Designs of course) and the photo was taken of J-Man and I on Easter of that year. [...]

A Conversation About Friendships

Today I had one of those moments. An epiphany if you will, about how vitally important friendships are as a mom. As I left my friend’s house after a very fun little party she was hosting it hit me… This is what I have been missing. This is what I crave. I love getting together [...]
