Five cool things:
ONE – Once again, Facebook has blessed me.  Or, I should say, God used the people using Facebook to bless me!  See, I teach Bible as part of a release time program at my son’s public school.  It’s a pretty cool gig.  I pick the kids up right after lunch, escort them off campus, teach them some Bible, then take them back to class and pick up the next class.  Our organization has “chapels” right next door to all of the public schools in town!  Anyway, the high …

Today I’m feeling like a mother of three.  
I’m picturing in my head the day we dressed Grant in a t-shirt that I made for him that said “Big Brother” and we took Mitch’s parents out to lunch.  We pulled Grant’s sweatshirt off of him to reveal our big news.  It was fun and cute and exciting.

I’m remembering Mother’s Day 2005, just weeks after our announcement.  Both of our families were at our house celebrating and pampering the moms and sitting around talking.  The subject of our new baby came …

Everything from It’s Madness Baby Digital Kit by Elise’s Pieces (The Digichick)
This is my youngest and his best friend in the whole wide world.  They were on the same soccer team together this fall (a force to be reckoned with) and now they get to be on the same basketball team.  It’s a lot of fun to watch the two of them interact.  They are almost like brothers, since they spend so much time together at church (on Sundays and Wednesdays) and school and on Tuesdays when I teach Bible.  …

Here we go with another Friday Five!  Of course, this is the Saturday edition because I was super tired of the computer on Friday.  Hee, hee!
1.  I must say that I am so incredibly thankful for OhLife.  Remember I told you about it last week?  Well, I just typed “1.” and sat here for a good 3 minutes trying to think of something to start my list off with.  WHAT did I do this week?  Am I really that boring?  Then, I remembered that I could go back to OhLife …

Ah, it is SO nice to be back on my blog!  Honestly, we have been doing GREAT around here, but blogging took a major backseat as I spent more time with my family during the holidays.  Now that my kids are back in school, I will endeavor to do a better job with my blogging!  I thought the easiest way for me to jump back in was to give you my Friday Five!
1. In 2012, I am going to Work Smarter, Not Harder!  Let me explain:  There are some things …

I do realize it has been almost two months since I last posted here. If you follow me on Facebook, then you know that I HAVE been around and busy and enjoying my family!!  I hope to get back to blogging regularly . . . starting today!
Yesterday, I was thinking about 2011, otherwise known as the year that flew by, and decided I’d do a super-quick recap just to record that SOMETHING(S) happened, even though I don’t have many digital layouts to show for it.  It’s sad when I go …

On November 22nd, my handsome husband and I will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.  OH, how I love that man!  It totally doesn’t feel like 14 years.  More like 5.  Except that things were harder at year 5 than they are now.  BUT, what I mean is that it feels like we were married just yesterday!  Except that I love him more.
Isn’t that just incredible?  I mean, you think you love the person you are going to marry more than any other person/thing on the entire planet on the day …

I am so excited to be moving into the holiday season!  I love Thanksgiving (oh, the FOOD!) and Christmas is my favorite.
I have a dream that one day I will be the kind of mom who has a decorating bin for each season of the year: Snowflakes and snowmen for January and February, shamrocks and leprechauns for March, flowers and bunnies for April and May, etc.
I am not that mom.  However, I really would love to be that mom.
I have a ton of great ideas!  Really, I do!
The problem lies …
