Well, life is busy! As if we don't know that LOL. Work, kid's activities, volunteering, church and any other project where I end up giving in and saying "yes." To quickly summarize, I mentioned in a previous post that last April I was part of a restructuring that left me and hundreds of others without … Continue reading Catching up on life and business

A season of change…can you feel it?
Taking a break from our rabbit saga to chat about change. Not the stuff jingling in your pant’s pockets, the kind that most people dread. John Maxwell, a wonderful and inspirational speaker and coach, once said "Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For … Continue reading A season of change…can you feel it?
The Chronicles of the Christmas Rabbits
"Get rabbits for your FFA project," they said. "It’ll be easy," they said. Little did they know. It all started a little more than a year ago when our daughter joined Junior FFA (Future Farmers of America). She thought this would be a great idea seeing that she doesn’t do sports and a lot of … Continue reading The Chronicles of the Christmas Rabbits
This journey can be long…did you learn anything?
I started writing this week about our journey to healing for our daughter. Before going too much further, I want you to understand eczema and the challenges it brings. First, here is a basic definition from The National Eczema Association. Eczema is the name for a group of conditions that cause the skin to become … Continue reading This journey can be long…did you learn anything?
Let’s start at the beginning of the journey
So where have I been the past year you ask? Crazy busy with family, work and life. But one "thing" that kept us really busy was an illness that seemed to control our lives for many years and was finally addressed last year. You're probably thinking, "Yeah, how can an illness take over and control your … Continue reading Let’s start at the beginning of the journey
Remembering Good Times
I found this in my notes from 1/4/17 When there is no tv, no electronics, no room in the house to go be by yourself, what do you do? Play Clue (Simpsons version) and snuggle in bed. After a rousing game of Clue, it was time to put the kids to bed. But first, a … Continue reading Remembering Good Times
Pinky Promise
So you think you are a good parent. Your kids make it to school every day with a lunch packed, homework done (well, most of the time), hair brushed (about once every other day) and appropriate weather clothes (for my daughter, this means whatever she wants to wear). Yesterday when I got home from work, … Continue reading Pinky Promise
Resurrection Sunday Celebration at our house
This past Sunday was, for Christians, the most important of all the days in the year. From the beginning, there was sin in our world and the only way to "pay" for that sin was to sacrifice an animal, usually a lamb, which would take on the sin and be sacrificed so that we could … Continue reading Resurrection Sunday Celebration at our house
Losing the battle
Yes, the title is intriguing...and broad. Did I lose the battle with allergies? We are only in March so I can't make the call on that one yet. The battle with my son eating new foods? I'll address that in another post. So what, you ask, it the battle that you lost? The battle of "potty … Continue reading Losing the battle
Busy week of birthdays…
I can still remember the day that both my children were born. For Colt (name for my son on this blog), it was just about 6pm on a Wednesday. Joe was getting ready to go to class and I was sitting in the office. I stood up to go to another room and said "Well, … Continue reading Busy week of birthdays…
