We traveled last week and if you’ve ever traveled with a potty-training-toddler, you’ve probably experienced (or feared!) what happened to us. After an uneventful flight, we were waiting for our luggage at DIA while Ben and Jack ran around exerting all of their pent up, over-tired energy when suddenly Ben stopped and his knees slackened […]
Lost
Every so often I participate in Five Minute Friday – and I usually participate on Monday. It’s a time to write for five minutes on the given word without editing, without questioning, maybe without making sense, just five minutes to write. Here is this week’s offering – and it’s more a musing on my part […]
Life
For months now I have been trying to enjoy life a bit more. I have thrown numerous dance parties for my kids, eaten more ice cream, enjoyed playing Simon Says with my super creative 5 year old: “Simon says, act like a flower.” (what?!) Turns out I can be pretty creative, too: “Simon says, go […]

Seeking Life in Lent
“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost! Why do you spend money on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and […]
Enjoy these moments…
After browsing through Sunday’s comics, Tim casually handed me the paper and pointed to this strip with a smirk. While I may roll my eyes when a stranger says to me, “Enjoy these moments, they don’t last forever,” I am very aware that my boys are outgrowing my lap. Ben’s head doesn’t quite fit underneath […]

That “F” word again…
Last night was a milestone. Ben, my proud two year old, (See him displaying his fingers? “Do!”) moved from his crib to his big boy bed on the bottom bunk. And Jack, my sweet five year old, moved from the bottom bunk to his even bigger big boy bed on the top bunk. It was […]
Another Year, Another Season
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain […]
