Okay. So. Let’s recap. Cee’s arthritis is eating away at her joints, and the only straws left to grasp at are in Cincinnati at the children’s hospital there. Their office will call us randomly in the future to let us know when we’re in. Then we will rearrange everything in life in order to make […]
Here’s the latest chapter in our SJIA saga. (It seems to have fallen out of fashion to call it “SOJIA.” Now it’s just “SJIA.” Like the teenager who wants to be called “Tom” instead of “Tommy,” I’ll try to accommodate the new name…but he’ll always be “Tommy” in my heart.) We ended up doing […]
Today I’m over at Everyday Ediths talking about this month’s theme: sacrifice. (Not the weird goat kind, the daily mom kind.) This picture is an oldie, but it fits my thoughts on sacrifice perfectly. You’ll have to head over to Everyday Ediths to check it out. 🙂 We’re off to Mayo with a trunk […]

Let me bring you up to speed. Cee had an MRI on Friday, and the results aren’t great. The aren’t even good. Or so-so. […]
I’ve talked before about our pickle jar of conversation question starters that we use at dinner time. That discussion is usually my favorite part of the day. It’s a super easy way to stay connected as a family, and it’s been both silly and insightful. Take for example, a question from a couple weeks […]
Cee’s illness impacts everything. Worries about what the future holds are overwhelming. I’ve enjoyed being able to escape all that by writing about fluffy topics lately. Library books. Clothes. Fluff. It’s all fluff. Yesterday I posted My Sunday Best and concluded that being intentional about what’s in my closet makes me think about clothes less. While […]
Here’s my Mass outfit this week: Top: Lularoe Perfect T Skirt: Lularoe Maxi Sweater, shoes, belt: Lands’ End As you can guess, I love me some Lularoe. Now for Mass. This passage from the Gospel of Matthew got me thinking: Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or […]
Thanks to someone using my affiliate link for their first Dia Box, I had enough credit to try this service again! (I won’t go rehash all the details, but you can visit my first review for all the specifics.) My fifth time posting the results is the first in which I’ve been brave enough to wear the […]
