  • How to raise a teenager…hold on sir…you are only eight!

    The last week or so has been interesting. My oldest turned eight years old. He no longer has the adorable infant, toddler, or even preschool character traits. He is growing up into a handsome young man. Awkwardly handsome as his teeth have been falling out left and right…but a good lookin’ kid. I remember when…

  • My Big Thumb Toe

    I was sitting down on my dining room floor surrounded by mountains of dirty clothes. I mustered up the energy to drag it all out of the laundry room in an effort to sort by category like normal moms. The outer layer of my cage was an assortment of baskets. The laundry needed to be done and I was not motivated. Me:…

  • How Not to Write Gospel Piano Chords

    Last night my husband asked me to take down notes for a song he’s learning on the piano. He plays by ear. He listened to “Healing” by Richard Smallwood on YouTube and called out the notes for each part. After church he went to find my notes so he could practice.

(Whispering to his little brother in the back) Isaiah: “If she…

  • I don’t want to brush my teeth!

    I don’t want to brush my teeth! He decided to come out when he realized the bathroom sink doesn’t stop by Dunkin Donuts on the way to school. Fresh breath and super late. It’s Friday.

  • Random Cheese

    Around my house you will always find evidence of the children. You can pretty much trace their steps. Dirty Ninjago underwear, empty goldfish bags and deadly sharp toys galore. It’s the weird stuff that I find that really trips me out. The other day I walked into their bedroom to find Batman was being held…

  • God Is Making More Numbers

    Driving home from church this morning I hear my boys in the backseat. Aaron: 98, 99, 100… What comes after a hundred? Me: 101, 102… Aaron: 101, 102, 103…What is the last number? Me: There isn’t a last number. We just say infinity. Numbers go on and on forever. Isaiah: yeah…God is building more numbers.…

Still working on capturing everything. I’m very excited about my new…
