As I sat in the waiting room of the Optomologist today, I had a few decisions to make. I couldn’t decide which was worse…going to the dentist or to get my eyes checked. I mean the dentist is painful and all, but I absolutely can’t stand it at the eye doctor when they check your eye pressure by blowing a Continue Reading →
This weekend we will celebrate the birth of our firstborn son. His birth occured 12 months after our firstborn daughter. It was mighty overwhelming to have them so close together (especially when #3 and #4 followed nearly as close), but now that I look back on it–I wouldn’t have it any other way! The Talker was tough for me Continue Reading →
11 years ago I became a mom. Hard to believe it’s gone so quickly. This weekend we will celebrate the life of our first born. Who’d have ever known 11 years ago what I blessing she would be? I cannot imagine life without her. She is my right hand, has a heart of compassion and simply…I enjoy being with her. Continue Reading →
I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile, but finally got to it. To simplify the address of my blog, all you have to remember now is https://themommymap.com/. No extra blogger stuff…just .net. Either address will direct you here, but I just wanted to make it easier for you to remember (and for me to tell others!). Happy reading!
I really couldn’t help but post this one. I was called at the last minute to speak at my home church MOPS. Subject? Sex, of course. This is the video they showed before my friend and I spoke. I’m still laughing, although if you watch it…I take no responsibility for any further songs by this band.
In case you did not have a chance to visit the blog of the very special baby I asked you to pray for, I thought I’d give you a quick update. Micah did, indeed, get the pivitol procedures done that he needed done before the weekend. He also had a third procedure done on Monday. His family now waits for Continue Reading →
I don’t usually use take advantage of the platform that I have here on The Mommy Map, but today I am going to. I haven’t written about my heart on this topic yet (it’s brewing in my noodle still), but some of you know that adoption is something I’m deeply passionate about. Right now, there is a very special baby Continue Reading →
Recently, I shared with you about conquering Mt. Laundry in my home. I few people have asked me to be a bit more detailed about what happens before the laundry makes it to the laundry room. In each room, there is one of the above laundry sorters (or something similar) so that the color sorting is done each day. I Continue Reading →
As I sit here this morning meditating on this blog, I ask myself the question, “Where do I go from here?” It’s clear to me from the last few weeks of writing that tackling the silence in the Christian church on sex is much needed. It’s clear to me that women (and men!) are hungry for people who are willing Continue Reading →
Just to update you…we have recieved word via text message that those we know in Haiti are safe. The children in the orphanage felt the earthquake, but there was no damage to the area of Pignon and all of the children are well. Our main contact from Pignon was actually in Port-au-Prince and was outside fixing his car when the first Continue Reading →
