my little ballerina…

Being a mom of 3 boys and 1 girl–I really appreciate every little thing this princess does…because walking down the hallway it’s not unusual to feel the prick of a Nerf bullet on the back of your leg from one of the boys. I’m definitely not the mom–either by the way–that condones such behavior…instead I […]

Awww! She is such a BEAUTIFUL ballerina! Love the pics! We had our girls’ ballet recitals this weekend too! And I just posted the pics on our blog…I have a picture of Jody kissing Caty on the cheek just like that! So sweet!!! 🙂

LOVE HER HEART!!!! So sweet and tender and it shows on her face!!! BEAUTIFUL!

do you believe this???

I was singing the song “Enough” today–and it just hit me. Do you really believe this?? Do I really believe that He is enough?? Do I really LIVE that way in my day to day life?? I’m not sure about you–but being a girl (I might be 35–but I’m still a girl) I can have […]

I know you (God) did not intend to write this for MOI, but you did!!! I needed this soooo much! I will continue to reread it to let it fully sink in, but thank you for opening your heart and sharing THIS one. =)

Good Stuff!! Thank you for the reminder. I’m often caught feeling, doing, fearing when I KNOW He is more than enough!!!

praying for you friend! I sing this song as a lullaby/reminder/worship every night as I rock Mareto to sleep. Last night it took 2 1/2 hours of rocking/soothing to get him to sleep. I sang this song dozens of times and was in tears half the time. He is more than enough… more than enough to give me strength, more than enough to mend my son’s heart, more than enough to fix what is broken, more than enough for life….

I had a moment about 2 months ago where fear had seeped into my heart…it had come in so slowly that I didn’t know it had filled my heart. When I realized that I was not depending on the Lord during the wait for our daughter I was truly humbled before Him. Thankfully it happened during Bible study when I was surrounded by the love of Christ in a room full of women who could support me with words of wisdom and the Word of God! Thank you for sharing.

Yippy! Someone just got walked through the door!

I told all of the littles as I put them down…that when they woke up daddy would be home! Doesn’t ITY look excited with this news just before jumping in his crib??? Hypotonia has it’s perks people;). I mean–don’t you wish you could stretch like this??!! And can you BELIEVE this little squirt is going […]

The last 48 hours {a little roller coaster}

If you ask Rico Suave if he married a laid back–tough–roll with the punches girl…until this past year I’m willing to bet he would have quickly said, “You bet!” This last year though, oh my–I feel like I’m been on a bit of a roller coaster. From starting our home study last March for a […]

Stay strong! Praying for healing & for energy!

I think you are an awesome mom!! I really hope to love being a mom as much as you do. I went to Created for Care in March and wanted to let you know in person, but I never got around to catching you! Your posts show so much love for your children and how hard you fight to keep you heart focused on the Lord and bringing your children up in Him, too!! You’re a breath of fresh air! I pray your illness will only bring you even closer to God and that he will give you strength!! Thanks for all you do 🙂

Road to Wellness…

As I was giving my kids their daily dose of Omega 3’s…I thought back to several years ago when I didn’t do these and just didn’t know how important they were. I wish that I had known then what I know now…like those multivitamins really aren’t all what they are cracked up to be–and there […]

So, do you mix the omega 3 packets w/ something, or do the kids just swallow them?

Hi Andrea-I have been looking for something like this for the two children we are hosting from Latvia this summer. Would you mind sharing where you found this? I would appreciate it. Be blessed today. Carol
