It’s been really difficult to blog with a 2-year-old in the house, especially because mine is a boy. He just seems to get into anything and everything, and this phase of his is lasting longer (and is much much messier and harder on my house) than was any of his 3 sisters’ terrible twos. Complicating […]

Today marked an important day at church for our family – transition day, when the kids move up to their next classroom! My son, who is also our youngest, moved from the Toddler Room to the 2-year-old room. He seemed to really like the new toys: the wide array of trucks, the bubble window, and
Four times per year, our church puts on a family program called Kidstuf. This time around, my two oldest daughters were chosen to be Kidstuf dancers, and they did a GREAT job! Kidstuf is energetic and fun for adults and kids alike, so my husband and I were pleased to be offered the opportunity to
Well, I survived. Today was my try at teaching my 3–year-old daughter’s Sunday school class. Every summer, church members have the opportunity to serve in our church’s Kids’ Kingdom in order to give the regular teachers a much deserved summer break. Instead of requesting a specific age group where I might have been comfortable (last
We are winding down our first year of teaching youth group, and it’s been an interesting experience, to say the least. Last week, my “small group” consisted of 17 girls, and it was totally crazy. We couldn’t get much accomplished, but luckily they weeded themselves out – those who didn’t want to participate (their choice)
Well, ok, so last Sunday wasn’t really my stage debut; I acted in about 4 stage plays when I was a kid, and three quarters of those roles were in The Wizard of Oz 🙂 But somewhere along the line, I developed a severe stage fright, and I haven’t come close to the front of

I’m going on my third month as a youth group leader, and while I always enjoy myself at church on Wednesday nights, in recent weeks I’ve also felt a strange kind of dread. I couldn’t put my finger on it until last night. There was a huge drama in our small group of 7th grade
I’m not going to pretend to know the latest texting lingo. I know ASAP and TTYL and even oic, but that’s about the extent of my in-house texting-acronym dictionary. Not that I care too much – it doesn’t even make me feel old or out of it because texting itself is amusing to me; not

I actually ran out of room in my previous post to talk about my little ones, my non-schoolers, so it’s time for an update! The baby, soon to be toddler, Christopher (we call him Beeber since that’s what his big sister used to call him) is getting so big and is now probably closer to
Well, summer is officially over – school starts tomorrow! I could be like everyone else and say “where did the summer go?”, but for me, it actually didn’t go as fast as I would have thought. We were so busy; though it was good-busy; not like so-much-work-to-do-busy. But much fun was had and I enjoyed
