10 things you should never say to a pregnant woman:

(especially if a 9 month pregnant woman)
I write this mostly as a reminder to myself later of things I will not say to another girl who is pregnant.
10. “That’s funny…I think your nose has gotten wider“
9. In response to I feel sick, my back hurts, my hips hurt, ect … “I’m sure that’s normal” -Mark [...]

Joy in the Everyday Stuff…

My sister is blogging now. I have told her she should do this for a while now! Her “theme” is simple. It is “finding beauty in everyday “. I think this is so great and such a challenge!
If there is anything God has given me over the last couple of weeks it is joy! I [...]

Jumping in…

Last year, when my cat was still a curious little kitten, she had a fascination with the bath tub. Every time I would run the water or get in she would be on the edge. She (well at the time we thought “she” was a “he” but that is a whole other story : ) [...]

Down in the Dumps

So I have a tiny bit of melancholy in my mostly sanguine/choleric out going personality. If I am left alone too long the melancholy in me comes out. I start to think too much and analyze my life etc. Sometimes this can be a bad thing. Slowly but surely everything, even if it is good, [...]

New Link

I added a new link. Please check it out! This is the blog site for the Not For Sale Campaign. Over the last year, I have been finding out more and more about the epidemic of modern day slavery. I am honestly shocked and appalled that this could really be going on in our world [...]

Baby Registry Survey:

So Mark and I are registering for the baby! It is exciting and reminds me that he is coming soon : )
I am pretty close to clueless with all the baby stuff out there! So I thought I would ask whoever reads my blog, (moms, aunts/uncles or babysitters)! If you have any favorites in brand [...]

A Baby? pt. 4

“It’s been over a week. You need to take a pregnancy test!”, was the response I heard over the phone from my husband. “Fine!” I said. I knew I was safe because I had just gone to lunch with my dad and had drunk probably a gallon of water. I bought the test from the [...]

Women’s Rights! pt. 3

This next part of my journey I still struggle with….
Last year our small group’s girls studied a book called “The Excellent Wife“. You could add a theatrical sound effect of gloom….we refer to it still as “The Book”. It got to a lot of us! Although I did not agree with it 100%, I learned [...]
