Confession 1: I have always wanted to take professional cake decorating classes. When I was a teenager I went to church with a couple of professional cake decorators. Each generously shared their talents at separate times to give a “basics” class to the young women in our group. Both times I was completely enamored; I [...]

One year ago our lives were taking some drastic turns. There are seasons of relative calm in life and there are seasons of whirlwinds; and everything in between. We were just starting to settle into a relative calm at the beginning of 2008. We were not where we needed to be yet, but we were [...]

The move and all that comes with it seems to be going forward. There is so much to do! I am constantly amazed at all the phone calls, packing, cleaning, sorting, errands… It just goes on and on. I’m not looking forward to living 700 miles from my kids and grandkids, but I am looking [...]

I once read that all parents “damage” their children. I was taken aback by this. Afterall, all I ever wanted out of life was to be a Mother. I loved Play-doh and music time and I never got tired of any toy that made a repeated noise. We went on walks, we went to the [...]
