Juniper is 7 months. Let’s just let that sink in for a moment. Seriously, people told me it would go by fast, but I guess I did not believe them. In the last seven months I have gleaned some pearls of wisdom. Nuggets, if you will, of encouraging wisdom, spoken over me by trusted … Continue reading

A Lenten Update
I have had a few people ask me how my makeup fast is going, so I thought I would share an update with all of you. I have gone 21 days without makeup. I am a little over half way done. Hm. Let’s be honest, do I feel more comfortable today, on day 21, than … Continue reading

Can’t get enough
Seriously. I just can’t help but take her picture. Over… and over… and over again. I thought for sure she was going to roll over today. She kept tipping over to one side or another. But today was not the day. She sure looked cute trying. I think she wore herself out. This girl is … Continue reading
New Year Resolutions
I am a tad skeptical about New Year resolutions. Largely because, at least from personal experience, they are quickly forgotten and failed. However, that reality is not stopping me from making a few resolutions this year. I like to call the following my Book Resolutions of 2013. Or, the Make-me-smarter Resolutions. Or, For-goodness-sake-read-something-other-than-children’s-literature Resolutions. Ha. … Continue reading
