She Walks in Darkness...and Chooses Light

This girl here has been my girl's bestie since they were giggly girls in pigtails reading Laura Ingalls Wilder side by side. This week we took it a step further; we headed into the frontier. We talked about Laura and her daughter as we hiked. We also talked about Indians, black bears, tornadoes, the differences of growing up in the 70s, 80's and 90s, and Monte Cristo sandwiches. And we checked for ticks in each other's unbraided hair. Speaking of checking one's daughter's hair for ticks...Keisha will readily tell you she never wanted to be a mother and, as a millennial, tell you in the same breath: "Don't judge me!" Ye t here she is, pregnant with numbers three and four (five and six if you count her miscarriages). And she is living between darkness and light.

15 Minutes of Advent & a Giveaway

As I have espoused in A Picture Perfect Childhood , sometimes we only need to capture 15-minutes to reclaim our vision of who we are called to serve and what we are called to do." The real intent is ...

My Favorite Child is...

I suspect my children will descend upon me after reading this and smirk about how "Mom can turn anything into a blog post." I wish they would see how little I have blogged lately because I'm too busy trying to prove to them individually that they are each my favorite. ;-) And that's a paradoxical statement all it's own. My oldest child (and perhaps it's the ritual of the oldest child to do so) is quick to boast that he is the favorite. "I'm the favorite, right, Mom?" is said more as a statement than a question. And a part of me feels that the younger siblings feel that he is because they've heard him say it all his life and I honestly don't know how to remedy this. Chances are they ignore his oldest child self-assurance. So I'm going to go public here and officially reveal which of my children is my favorite. ;-) * * * * * My Favorite Child – by Erma B...
