Personalized Baby Blanket Quilts

January 28, 2012 in Made by Mom, SnugasaBugBaby Products

This post has been featured! A couple hundred bucks and 4 days later, our computer is back from the Geek Squad and functioning again. Halleluyah. But there are still several files that need to be re-arranged and put in the appropriate places…and for some reason our bookmarks toolbar isn’t working [...]

Dedicated to Christ

January 19, 2012 in Mommy Musings

On September 29th, 2011 our Selah Mae was dedicated to Christ. Because we have been involved with a church plant (The Embassy, Denver) that was not yet hosting regular worship services and did not have a permanent meeting location, we hosted a Baby Dedication Backyard Party. We invited family, friends, [...]

And Yet Life Marches On

November 8, 2011 in Mommy Musings

On Friday, October 21, 2011 Rebecca Lauren Woodruff died at the tender age of 4 years old. She was my cousin. On Tuesday, November 1, 2011 Garnet Joan Nalley died. She was my Grandma. And it was only a couple of months ago that I was writing about the loss [...]

What Does Forever Look Like?

September 16, 2011 in Mommy Musings

I’ve been thinking about heaven…which is a misleading name I think because it probably isn’t in “the heavens” at all…at least not in the sense of sitting on clouds, playing harps, and eating marshmallows. Particularly, I have been thinking about TIME in heaven: and I am pretty sure they don’t [...]

It’s Enough

January 4, 2011 in Mommy Musings

My husband rebels against New Year’s Resolutions. Too many years of watching America commit to losing weight and then giving up on week two, I think. I get it…and he’s got a point. There is nothing magical about New Years. No reason to think that things will happen for us [...]

Praying Today

September 13, 2010 in Mommy Musings

I think I have known that I would adopt since the time I first thought about having babies. My parents started doing foster care when I was in high school, and this cemented my calling. Making known the need for foster and adoptive families became my soap-box throughout my college [...]

Tour de la Mess-a

July 27, 2010 in Making our House a Home, Mommy Musings

I haven’t really kept up with my plan to give you a “Tuesday Tour” of how I am “Making our House a Home” for several weeks. There are several reasons I could give you for this….like the fact that I haven’t done anything worth showing in the past few weeks [...]

Why Josiah is Bigger than God

June 24, 2010 in Mommy Musings

I wrote this forever ago. It just kinda flowed out one day. But I didn’t publish it. It was too vulnerable, and I wasn’t ready. But then I established prices and posted some items for sale. Putting myself out there like that feels really vulnerable to me. So, while I [...]

Looking Up

April 18, 2010 in Mommy Musings

My first 2 tulips opened up today! Aw, tulips… I LOVE THEM!! Never mind that the neighbors tulips look like this: Mine are still babies, and I think they are beautiful! The backdrop leaves something to be desired… But one of my favorite things about tulips is this: They spend [...]

Welcome to the Nursery, Part III: Josiah’s Custom Baby Blanket

April 6, 2010 in Making our House a Home, SnugasaBugBaby Products

The past couple of weeks I have shown you around Josiah’s nursery. Two weeks ago, I shared how the nursery came together through the blessings of others (see here). Last week, I took a few steps back and shared how the room went from a blank canvas to my favorite [...]
