Random Musings Friday!

I’m so excited to be linking up with Shana again today for another Random Musings Friday!  * We took the girls to the doctor’s office yesterday, and even though we had the first appointment of the day, it still took the doctor 45 minutes to see us. That was fine when they were babies, but…

Going Back to Work! {The Bright Side}

I was playing with the girls this morning with my mom and it occurred to me (as Lily screamed over a stolen toy and Molly head butted the floor) that there are some obvious benefits to going back to work, even if it is three years before originally planned, and a few things I will…

Operation Beautiful

I told you “You are beautiful”; You looked at me and poo-ed. I said “You are intelligent!”, And all you said was “Gooooo!” Dada is your favorite word, though your days are spent with me. My dear, my sweet, my darling babes, When will you speak with me? I hope and pray my words are…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Distractions}

We went church shopping this morning. The church was nice, the people were nice, it wasn’t a long way from home, but it just wasn’t us. The way the sermon was presented bothered me a little bit, and I didn’t come away feeling like I had learned anything new. So, we press on. I’ve tried…

A Purple Poem and 12 Things 2011

I just finished putting together my “Best Of” post for 2011, set to post on Saturday. It was hard to choose, but also really fun to look back at the past year. I made a list of 15 or so posts that I want to read again and again. Until then, I found another link…

Yes, these are a few of my favorite things!

Sitting down to write this morning, I feel a giant sigh of relief and calm. It’s finally snowing outside which gives me the perfect excuse to sit inside and cuddle up with my babies. Not that they’ll have anything to do with sitting still, but the thought is nice. We had a wonderful two days…

BIRTHDAY Week! {Happy First Birthday, Babies!}

My Sweet Babies, I can hardly believe that it’s here! You’re one year old! All of the first year milestones have come and gone, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other new tricks you can do! This day holds so many memories for me, bitter and sweet. The weather is clear as a bell…

BIRTHDAY Week! {Dear Molly}

Oh Serious One, Oh Belle of the Ball, My Molly May “Mizzle” (as Daddy likes to call you), You sure know how to steal the show! You are the Queen of firsts, my little Peanut. You let your sister come out first, and actually, I think you pushed her! But only so you could get…

BIRTHDAY Week! {Dear Lily}

My Dear Sweet Precocious Lily, My heart melts for those squishy cheeks, those batting eyelashes, and big brown eyes. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I first heard you cry. It literally took my breath away; a tear rolled down into my ear before I finally took another breath. After all that…

Thankful Thursday: The Big Three Oh (Oh.)

I’m feeling under the weather today, but I am still really excited because today is my 300th post!!!!!! No one could be more thankful for that! I also stumbled upon a somewhat disturbing and yet very uplifting discovery yesterday. It made me more thankful to be alive than I’ve ever been. Sure, I have a…
