Trip vs. Vacation. And there IS a difference.

July 13, 2011

Oh yes, girls…you KNOW there is a big difference, right? Well, I’m gearing up for our family summer trip and I thought of all of you as I was starting that massive “don’t forget to pack” list and of course, the “emergency entertainment in the car” stash of stuff. So, I thought I’d propose a [...]

Peace, dude. (a movie review of sorts)

June 4, 2011

Peace. Is that what it’s all about? That was the question I was asking myself as I drove home from seeing a very DEEP and PHILOSOPHICAL movie tonight. Yes, I saw Kung Fu Panda 2 tonite. DISCLAIMER: I do NOT recommend this flick for lil kiddos. Lots of violence and some dark themes. And, yes, [...]

Marathoners? Ironmen? How about MOMS?

May 23, 2011

Do you ever feel like you are running the BIGGEST race of all every day just trying to keep up w/your crew? This whole mom-thing can be exhausting, girls. (Can I get an “amen”?) A friend sent this blog to me and I loved it…it’s written by a mom of 3 who is an author, [...]

“So…how was your day?” “Fine.” THE END.

May 19, 2011

OK. So at our last MIC we talked about LOTS of great stuff, but there was one thing that several moms had in common: the struggle of sitting around a table w/your kiddos and having a discussion. By “discussion” I mean – a yell-free zone of more than one word answers. The great mystery of [...]

“Wherever you are, be ALL there.”

April 17, 2011

Say what? Yep…you read it right – “be ALL there”. Hmmm.  What does that mean, exactly? I’m not too sure about being “all there” but I’m usually feeling like I’m “all over the place” more than anything!! (Can I get an “amen”?) Recently I got a very real gut-check on being “ALL there” from my [...]

Parenting. Is. Hard.

April 6, 2011

So…I had one of THOSE days. One of those “Jesus please come back today so we can be DONE here” days. It’s funny, really…because it started off pretty great, actually. I even got to have a discussion with one of my fav people about God. It went kinda like this: “Why is it SO hard [...]

“Whea ahhh uuuuuu?”

March 22, 2011

When my daughter was itty bitty she would wake up in the morning and start jumping in her crib…happy as could be. In fact, (it was the olden days, no video monitors WAY back then) the way I knew she was up was I’d hear the springs creaking…for AWHILE before I ever even heard her [...]

TEACHABLE MOMENTS?

March 6, 2011

At MIC Thursday night we had a great discussion – we wish you were there, too! If you weren’t (or if you were and you were too busy eating candy hearts to pay attention), here’s what we talked about. We stopped for a sec and thought about 4 things that we deal with as mommies [...]

Push ‘em back, push ‘em back. WAY BACK.

February 14, 2011

So, our FIRST MIC Bible study started this week, girls. So far I’ve learned: I’m not the only one who struggles with my priorities and making time for God. I’m not the only one who leaves laundry, etc piled on the dining room table. I’m not the only one who wants to take God off [...]

February 9, 2011

Just a lil QUICK REMINDER that MIC will be back in action on Thursday, March 3rd. Now…I KNOW you’ll need a night away after all this “TOGETHERNESS” we’re getting w/these snow days. Yikes. So…let’s try this again:
