What’s the proper response when your 2 year old poops in the tub? And not only poops, but remains seated on it so that it is smashed into the grooves around the drain? Then, you take him out of the tub and in an effort to pick up the poop (with rubber gloves) you wind […]
The Problem of Rest… or the lack of it.
It’s amazing, the topic of rest keeps popping up in my life. Two young women that I am mentoring have mentioned it in the last couple of days. Another talked about it a couple of months ago. And I received the gift of rest on my birthday. All of these women (including myself) have the […]
My Birthday Dream <3
Yesterday I turned 29. Wow, that’s weird to say. Anyways, Tim told me a week ago that on my birthday I had an appointment at 2:15 and would need to bring Jack to our friend’s house at 1:30 so they could watch him. Tim has never been one to keep a secret, so I was […]

Welcome to Denver, Old Man Winter
Ever since I was a kid, winter has been my favorite season. Part of this has to do with the fact that my birthday is in February and there is nothing more exciting than preparing for your birthday. I also like it because there’s so much to do outside in the winter, like sledding. And […]
a little note of thankfulness
If only that’s how it works… No, not really. The reality is I am so proud of my husband and his work ethic. He has put hours days of work into cars for friends and family. He has become Scum’s mechanic. A guy anyone can go to knowing that he will give an honest assessment […]
I Did It My Way!
Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. Galatians 6:4-5 “The Message” It’s no secret […]
