Today is my little Gracie girl is seven years old. She is literally the light of our lives. Her smile and her eyes could light up a room in the darkest cave. Gracie is our story teller and our resident artist. She brings us so much joy and happiness…..we wouldn’t be us without her.

Re-thinking Me Time
After my last post, I’ve been thinking about that elusive “time” called “me.” I happened upon this lady’s take on the concept of me time and while I don’t completely agree with everything she says in her post, I found enough in there to cause me pause. I especially related to the feeling of always [...]

“Me time” gone wrong…
Here I was just trying to grab alittle “me time” and look what my daughter decided to do….
Notice the chair that has been strategically pushed into the correct position. Did I notice the sound of chair legs scraping across the tile directly behind me? Of course not.
At least she had the presence of mind to [...]

Amber
Well, I’m not at church today and I should probably be there today more than any other day. Today is the year anniversary of Amber’s death and I feel bad. In fact, I’m probably wallowing in my bad and sad feelings more than I should be. I just miss her and I miss our family [...]

Babies

Never had in Long Beach
I’m still continuously surprised by the little changes in my life since moving to Flower Mound almost 5 years ago (5 years ago?!). Sure it’s hotter than heck here some days and I don’t have the plethora of dining choices within a 5 mile radius like I did in CA, but I’ll trade it all for [...]

Dream Life
I just added a blog page to my blogroll (I’m SO blog savvy now) of a woman living the life I imagine I would LOVE. The Pioneer Woman was a L.A. city girl who fell in love with a cattle rancher and now lives on a ranch with her husband and four kiddos. I can’t [...]

And then my little boy was gone…
I can’t deny it any longer…Connor is growing up. He graduated from 5th grade last night and I about lost it. I couldn’t believe how emotional I was feeling for a 5th grade graduation…not high school….5th grade! Ugh. Connor looked so grown up. He has been DYING for a cell phone, so ages ago we [...]

Invisible Woman
Here is a short video I saw on another web site. I found it really touching (a few tears fell) and just what I needed to hear. I hope you enjoy it too.
