After stalling for the better part of 3 or more years, only giving a slight trim when it became clear that his sweet blonde locks were impairing his vision, my husband finally prevailed on me to cut Incredibaby’s hair. He looks like a different little person and it is a good thing that our baby will be here soon or I would have had a nervous breakdown over how grown up he looks. Other than one very unpleasant haircut at... Read more

Real Love

Last updated on: February 14, 2012 at 2:10 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

From Kirk Martin of Celebrate Calm: “Love is messy, ugly and painful. Today is Valentine’s Day. But love is not what the marketers tell us it is. Love is not flowers, chocolate and surprises. Love is not saying just the right thing. Love is not even doing the right thing. Love is not your children behaving well. Love is not having a wonderful day at the park. All of those things are lovely and nice, but they are not love.... Read more

Friendship ramblings

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 4:32 pm By Kellie "Red"

On Friday I was extremely frustrated with my daughter for what seemed to be a complete lack of focus and attention to detail in her schoolwork. For months now, Gianna regularly “finishes” assignments in a rushed manner, turning in error-ridden copy work and math worksheets. The errors are all “simple” mistakes–adding instead of subtracting, misreading a graph, or forgetting to copy certain letters in words. On Friday she made six careless errors on a 20 problem math test. I circled... Read more

“Love Has Come”

Last updated on: February 12, 2012 at 9:30 pm By Katrina

I love the song “Love Has Come” by Mark Schultz, and watched the video for the first time tonight. Give it a look if you have a few minutes – beautiful verses from Scripture coupled with a beautiful song. Enjoy! Read more

How to do what we do

Last updated on: February 11, 2012 at 9:47 pm By texasmommy

Do you ever get so caught up in getting it all done that you forget why you are doing it? I do. All the time. Which is why I loved this from This Tremendous Lover by Dom Eugene Boylan: No matter what we do, unless we do it in the love of God, it profits us nothing. God wants our love, He will be satisfied with nothing else. That is what He principally looks for in our works. The things we do or achieve... Read more

At an ultrasound yesterday I learned that I am pregnant with my 5th son! I have to say that never in my life would I have imagined that I would be the mother of 5 boys. I think I am going to go buy a basketball hoop! Everything looks healthy, and while my daughters and I will admit to hoping for a girl, our toddler boys are so loveable that it is impossible to be disappointed for long. I have... Read more

And a shameless newborn shot. She was only 2 weeks old in that photo, she’s now over a month old. I can’t really do much book reading these days as my free time in broken into very small chunks. So here’s some blog and current event food for thought… WSJ–New Guide to Who Really Shouldn’t Eat Gluten — I admit that I had a particular interest in this article after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease two years ago. I think... Read more

Mindless Eating

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 9:05 am By Mary Alice

One night a week, my children and I arrive home exhausted and hungry after 2 hours at the pool and playground of our local Y. My plan at this point is to put on a (hopefully educational) movie and make a quick pasta or pancake dinner for them, but they are always looking for snacks from the moment they walk through the door. Last night I handed them a ziplock bag of crudite left over from the super bowl. They... Read more

Let’s be honest…

Last updated on: February 6, 2012 at 9:03 pm By Mary Alice

I overheard a conversation between two mothers in a waiting room the other day. One happened to be gorgeous and very put together. The other, pretty enough, looks a little like a run down Mom. The conversation turned to makeup. Oh, said the run down mom, I don’t wear makeup, I don’t have time in the mornings. Don’t have time, asked the other mom, “or can’t be bothered?” It was friendly, (not as bitchy as it might sound), and the... Read more
