Mothering

Sweeping Up Joy:  A Mission Statement

, ,

I lost almost three years of mothering. I’m not bitter.  I’m not complaining.  It’s just how life worked out. From the morning in January of 2013 when Cee woke up and couldn’t walk…everything, everything changed. No warning.  No notice.  Just the unrelenting, all-consuming pain of a four year old. All the sudden I didn’t know who […]

Momming in Solidarity

I am the mother of four.  In some circles, that’s an enormous number.  In other circles, that’s just getting started. At any rate, I’ve gone through four births, three potty-training-s, two kindergartens, and one learning-to-read-s.  There’s a lot in between each of those milestones.  Like trips to the emergency room, family gatherings interrupted by vomit, […]

Jumping on an old lady in the dark.   Anne Shirley of Green Gables fame found herself in the middle of all sorts of scrapes.  Some were the result of negligence, a few of pride, others pure dumb luck. I’ve always identified with Anne […]

Check out Rosie’s place for more My Sunday Best. First off, can someone please tell me how Moe knows how to pose, but I don’t?!?! Secondly, can someone please give me a tutorial on posing? Today saw the same outfit mostly, as all the other Sundays.  But- – I got a new sweater during a super […]

SQT {11}: Wacko Wisdom, A Sermon Vitamin, and The Zelie Group

, , , , , ,

Seven Quick Takes of Randomness! 1- Wacko Wisdom We’ve never actually started a list of the crazy things that we say as parents.   We should.  Usually it’s some sort of “wisdom” said with a straight face that we laugh about later. “Actually, it’s considered impolite to eat your soup with fingers.” “You can’t go outside without […]
