9 Years of Blogging – Some of My Favorite Posts
I can’t believe I have been blogging for NINE YEARS. It’s like having a child…watching it grow over the years. There have been lots of changes and boy, can I see lots of growth in my writing over the years. My blog didn’t start out as a book blog, but one where I would share…

Another busy week has been left in the dust. I can’t believe we are in the last week of January already! Another busy week is ahead, but today I’m slowing down and hoping to see American Sniper with some friends.

On Sundays I like to share snippets from our life here in small town Iowa. The last few weeks have been really busy for us. I thought life might be slowing down a bit since some of the kids activities are done. But, this week still kept me moving. I am still subbing nearly every…

I have been looking for a way to share snippets from our family life here in Iowa. I used to post Scenes From Our Week every Sunday, but posting every Sunday became difficult. Then, this summer I tried High Five Friday, posting five things we were excited about. But, I didn’t want to be tied…
Read More Our Vacation to Michigan
Slowly, I am getting back into some sort of a routine after being on vacation. It has been nice to take a blogging break and not have to worry about getting a post written every day. I haven’t written a book review for a few weeks and I have enjoyed that break as well. But,…
Read More A Mama’s Love for 14 Years
On this day, 14 years ago, I became a mother. Our “baby” Patrick is 14. He isn’t so much of a baby anymore, in fact he is taller than me. Last week I babysat for a sweet 3 month old boy. His mama had to go back to work and their daycare wasn’t available yet,…
Read More Halloween Memories – Get Some Last Minute Costume Ideas
