I wish I were a bit more organized to save these sorts of posts for Jen’s 7 Quick Takes, but alas, if I don’t do it now, I’ll just forget. Just know, deep in my heart, that this is a Quick Takes post (although I won’t make it to 7, I’m sure!) 1. Many, many … [Read more…]
Sorry… I’ve been out of town for a few days. My father-in-law is VERY sick and in serious need of prayers. Please pray for him!
The results are in and — no surprise here — I’m carrying a boy. How did I know? Very simple… with girls, I throw up many, many times a day; with boys, I don’t. And with this pregnancy, other than a twinge or two of nausea, I’ve felt nothing. I haven’t been affected by smells… … [Read more…]
Dreams are fascinating things. I’ve been thinking about them over the past several days, due to the fact that I’m having lots of those weird dreams brought on by pregnancy hormones.

If you only read one blog post today… or this week… let it be this one from Enjoying the Small Things, as a mom shares her grief and joy at giving birth to a beautiful daughter who has Downs Syndrome. This is worth it, believe me. It’s a story that should be read by everyone. … [Read more…]
Check out Jessica’s challenge at Shower of Roses for her 40 Days of Lent/40 Bags of Stuff. It’s a bit intimidating, but I’m REALLY eager to get some serious decluttering going on, both physically and spiritually. Anyone willing to try?
A brilliant post written by Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post on the Tim Tebow ad. I want to walk up to her, shake her hand, and say thank you. THANK YOU for saying what needed to be said. (h/t Creative Minority Report)
That’s the question on everyone’s mind in upstate South Carolina! They are predicting 3-5 inches of snow, which around here would be absoluting amazing (provided the power stays on, of course.
