Everyday happenings
This summer we found ourselves in the market to replace our 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. It’s been a great SUV, and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. But the miles were starting to add up, several things were needing maintenance, and we were looking for more cargo space and passenger room. My husband has a separate vehicle …
February got away from me, and now here we are whittling down the last few hours of March. In order to keep blogging and still spend as much time as possible with my family, I’m going to have to switch up my style. I enjoy writing and, in case you haven’t noticed already, I’m a …
It’s that joyous, beautiful, festive time of year again! Ready or not, it’s already December. We had a lovely Thanksgiving with so many blessings to be thankful for this year; and now Christmas is less than one week away. It took me 6 days to get the tree put up and house decorated. Not because I …
It’s been beautiful here lately. One of my favorite things about the East Coast is the seasons, especially autumn. Western Nebraska has a beauty all of its own, but that doesn’t include many trees. The few deciduous trees that do grow there generally have their leaves frozen off by early cold weather. Friday was a perfect example …
I’m sorry for the delay in posting, but it isn’t without great reason. Last week our beautiful little girl was born! L was 8 pounds 1 ounce, 21.25 inches long. As all of you know that have had the immense blessing of becoming parents, there really are no words to describe the love and …

However, there seems to be a harsh paradox that as we long for these …
The days and months of my pregnancy are continuing to fly by. It’s hard to believe that today I’m starting my 36th week, just a little over one month left to go. So, now that we are in the homestretch, friends, family members, and even my doctor have suggested that I go ahead and start …
Yesterday’s post on thankfulness was as much for me as for any of the readers. It’s amazing that I often need frequent reminders about the most basic aspects of life which you would think I’d never forget. With busy schedules and hectic lives we seem to dismiss and neglect the simple traits which are vital for …
I was hoping to get the baby quilt finished up this week. However, it appears that being 8 months pregnant and sitting over a sewing machine for long periods of time is proving a little more challenging than I once thought. Life is not always easy, and it can be extremely frustrating when we can’t do …
We can never fully repay our mothers for everything they have done for us. We know how special they are when we are little, but we probably don’t realize all they have truly given and sacrificed on our behalf until we are older with families of our own. We know that we need to honor …
