Perhaps society always needs a little reminding to appreciate, value, and honor mothers and teachers! How appropriate in May to write about teachers and mothers in the same column. A mother is a child’s first teacher! Mothers are honored this month with a special day. Teachers are finishing up another school year. Congratulations to all! [...]
So….I’ve completely forgotten how to bake.

Just When We Needed A Miracle!
April 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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….
April 6, 2012 By 1 Comment
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 [...]

The sunshine we’ve had this afternoon. Y’all, it was gorgeous, and while I didn’t see a rainbow as a reminder, the warm orange afternoon light shining on wet grass and trees and shrubs spoke just as loudly to me of the one who sends the rain. Babies who practice breathing at only 27 weeks! Spending [...]
Monday Morning….

So, it’s Monday morning, and here’s the latest news: My son is spending his very first day in nursery school. I’m trying not to worry…or cry. My daughter was dressed and ready to leave for school (with lunch packed) by 7:15 a.m. They had both eaten a REAL breakfast (eggs, sausage and toast?) before they [...]
Five Minute Friday: Gentle
January 27, 2012 By 3 Comments
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 [...]
Notes from Nana: Influence of a Mother
January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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 [...]
