Saturdays, who loves them? I know I do. Especially when there is nothing on the agenda. But today was not one of those Saturdays. Today, after a very long wait, one very patient twin finally got his big boy room! Matt, Jake and I disassembled the twins loft beds and put together his new one.… Continue reading A Patient Love

A Not So Quiet Love
I love quiet. I like to talk, but when you grow up in a big family and then become a mom of a big family, quiet is not something that is found often. I don’t find the need to fill the silence with words. Quiet makes me happy, it recharges me! We have a balance… Continue reading A Not So Quiet Love
The Color of Love

I will admit, it is vain, but it is the truth.… Continue reading Light in the darkness
Rest in Him
So after my major steroid crazy day, today I have crashed and burned! I feel lousy. So what can I possibly find to be thankful for today? Today I can find the beautiful weather today. Even though my errand running was cut short due to lack of energy, I am thankful for our home to… Continue reading Rest in Him
