November 21, 2011 in SnugasaBugBaby Products

My Baby’s First Christmas Bib has been “girl-i-fied”! Just like the original, one side of this reversible bib is an absorbent creamy-white terry cloth with a sage green Christmas Tree applique.

Is God Playing Peek-A-Boo with Me?

February 9, 2010 in Mommy Musings

In a few days, it will be my turn to share my “testimony” or “life-story” with my Community Group. In order to help everyone else get to know me, I first have to get to know myself. I think this is more difficult than it sounds. So I am reading [...]

February 4, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

Last night, as I’ve done every couple of weeks for the last month or so, I sorted through the sock sack that hangs above my clothes dryer (you know, the place where all the socks go when they lose their match). Individual socks coming through the wash is a relatively [...]
