There is really no need for any other form of entertainment in our van during short trips around town like to school or soccer practice or a dentist appointment. Not when you have awesome convos like these going on… “Mom, is God a ghost?” “No, bubs, he’s a spirit.” (after saying this I realized they are kinda…
Guitars and Stripes and Birdies, Oh My!
I have a little confession, I love to shop. I always have. I used to shop for clothes (and shoes) just for myself for work and church and just for the fun of it. But nowadays that has taken a back seat to shopping for my kids, and let’s face it, mostly for the little…
GWL
Now that I (and my van) have mostly recovered from our four-day road trip I can share with you all about it. Traveling with kids can be exhausting, but especially so when you take them to a place where you are “going” pretty much the entire time you are there! We whisked the kids off…

Just One Day
I have wanted to do this for a long, long time and I finally did it – I documented an entire day in photos! I used both my Nikon D90 and my iPhone 4S, for when we were out-and-about. This was our day last Thursday, from beginning to end. I’ll let the pics speak for…
Time
I have three hours to myself right now as I lay here and type. Actually it’s down to about two hours and 20 minutes. I’m not feeling so “hot” today and Tim left for a guys trip/business trip and it’s just me and the kiddos for a few days. We have plans to hit up…
Nature and Ice Cream
Since it finally stopped raining around here (I know, I know, I’m like a broken record), we’ve been getting outside, thank God! Yesterday I went for a 2.5 mile run in the park and it was heaven. The park was packed with people reading on blankets and throwing Frisbees with their dogs and kids playing and as…
A Regular Afternoon (and family pictures)
I just made a pot of chili and it simmers on the stove. On the L-shaped couch sits a huge plastic Sam-sized container of animal crackers, the lid nowhere to be found. Along with my two boys, a bowl of popcorn, one (empty, thank goodness) plastic cup, a pillow, a remote control, a stuffed teddy…
A Lesson in Clothes Buying (for your kids)
Have I mentioned that all it wants to do here is rain and be nasty out? I think I have. Anyway, that doesn’t really have anything to do with my post today. Or maybe it does just a little. The little kids usually play on the church playground while their older brother is in church…
They Were Just So Dang Happy To Be Outside (and so was I)
It’s been raining and GRAY here since the new year. I am pretty sure I can count on one hand the days or parts of a day since then that I have seen a hint of the sun or any touch of blue sky. But, on Friday afternoon it was overcast and not raining. …
