Just When We Needed A Miracle!

orchid

Maybe you don’t think that flowers are a miracle. But perhaps it’s because flowers are so common place or ordinary that sometimes we don’t notice how spectacular and how beautiful and how splendid and how really wonderful they actually are! Like God! Remember: “He made everything beautiful in it’s time and created the earth and [...]

Just in case you’ve ever wondered…

I am the worst mom ever.  Oh, you might not think so, but go ahead and stop thinking of every terrible headline you’ve ever read that might make me feel better because your opinion doesn’t matter.  My daughter’s does. And, today, she’d probably tell you that I am the worst mom ever.  Oh, she didn’t [...]

Long time, No update….

So, I’ve started and stopped several posts over the past few weeks…they’re all still stuck in the “drafts” folder.  Why?  Well, I haven’t wanted to turn this blog into “all pregnancy all the time” and bore you to tears with every twin pregnancy trial we face.  I also haven’t been up to much lately, and [...]

Notes from Nana: Happy Valentine’s!

roses

Valentine’s Day. A day for love and lovers! So the phrase goes.  Smile. So DO show your love to your sweetheart and your children! How? Paul gives us wonderful challenging words on the topic!    LOVE IS: “Love is patient…love is kind…” and all the long list of seemingly impossible attributes from his letter to [...]

Five Minute Friday: Gentle

So, on Fridays, I generally lurk around TheGypsyMama.com, reading what others say in five minutes flat, thinking if the week’s topic says something to me, I MIGHT participate.  Most times I don’t.  You see, the perfectionist in me REALLY likes my backspace button.  I mean, REALLY.  Without that button, there’d probably be no blog.  But [...]

52 Things….I am loved.

So, it’s still January, and I’m already a bit behind.  No worries.  You should see the daily Bible reading guide our family is following.  We’re at least a week behind.  Still, we press on, and so will I. This post requires a bit of background so I’ll give it as required. It’s funny, but for [...]

Notes from Nana: Influence of a Mother

completed float

  I love flowers and music and God’s Word and… What do you LOVE?  Years ago, with our young children, Bill and I took my parents to New Orleans to board the “Sunset Limited” in New Orleans. They rode the train to Los Angeles for a visit with my Mother’s sister in LaJolla and to [...]

52 Things….I am able (…because He is.)

As I sit here this morning, thinking through my plans for the day, I wonder how I’ll be able to do all the things I need to do, much less the things I’d like to do.  And, while the feeling that there’s just no way to do it all isn’t new to me, I have [...]

52 Things….

God says about me.  And, you, too.  That’s one of the things I’ve had on my heart to share here on MississippiMom.com as this new year starts.  Why?  Because I need to be reminded of them.  And, somehow, I bet you do, too. Why?  Because  there are plenty of things that are ready to tell [...]

An explanation….or two.

In my previous post, I promised to explain a bit about why I’ve been so bad at blogging (and cooking) lately…so here goes. I’m pregnant, and that means: I’ve been doubly tired. I’ve been doubly nauseated. I’ve been doubly preoccupied with all things pregnancy. and if you haven’t guessed yet…. I’ve been doubly blessed.  We’re [...]
