Two weeks ago today, my husband came home from working his last day as a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy in order to follow a new calling as the Operational Manager of Brush Creek Ranch. We are excited about this new adventure we are able to embark upon and this new [...]

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 [...]

On Blueish Grayish Sort of Icky Days…

July 7, 2011 in Mommy Musings

Josiah woke up sick this morning. Throwing up. I hate seeing him so miserable and wish that I could just take it on myself. And let him get back to being him…the happy little boy he is on those more colorful, sunshiny sort of days. But–I’ll admit–there is also a [...]

Introducing Miss Selah Mae

May 13, 2011 in Mommy Musings

I am SO PLEASED to introduce my Selah Mae! At 6 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 inches long, she measures in at perfectly perfect in every way. The official records say she took her first breath of fresh air at 7:35 am Monday, May 9th 2011 (although we told people [...]

Maintaining a Healthy Marriage When Someone “Comes Between You”

April 23, 2011 in Mom 2 Mom

Alright, the promised week when I talk about our decision to bring our baby to bed with us… …and sex. Honestly, this wasn’t a major factor in our decision. In fact, it wasn’t a factor for us at all. But it seems to be a major consideration of those who [...]

Self-Soothing: How Silly!

April 9, 2011 in Mommy Musings

I have spent most of the past month sharing with you the safety concerns that come along with sleeping with our baby and what we have done to make this sleeping arrangement safe for our family. While safety was my biggest concern about co-sleeping…the thing I love most about it [...]

The Power of a Mother’s Touch

September 27, 2010 in Mommy Musings

I remember when Josiah was born the beauty and simple comfort of skin to skin contact. A friend shared this news story on facebook today, and I had to share it with you! What a beautiful way for God to work a miracle! I wish I could figure out how [...]

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 [...]

A Wonderful Gift

July 17, 2010 in Mommy Musings

As far as days go, today wasn’t shaping up to be one of the finest. Actually, it started out pretty “poopy”…really. I was at the sink doing dishes and looked up to Josiah playing in the living room. He was standing over a miniature cow pie and had poo running [...]

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 [...]
