Sunshine Sunday - GIRLS

I am a mom to boys, and I am convinced that is the way it should be.  I love all the boyness that surrounds me, I love being the only girl in the house, I love how much these boys love their mama, and don't fight their mama, well, most of the time.

On the other hand, I am very thankful for the little girls that I get to experience, that my boys get to call friends and that I get to snap little glimpses of periodically.

Sunshine Sunday - WORDS

Words:  A gift, a weapon, a remedy, they have such power (and I think we forget that sometimes).

A friend (or acquaintance), I would like to be her friend but we are both super introverted and that makes the reaching out part HARD, so whatever she is, she shared this and it so helped me.

Here are the WORDS that spoke to me so loudly.

And my personal favorite....


9. Parenting is like climbing the big mountain. Look for the base camp. That's where you rest, meet other climbers, take in oxygen and acclimatize. Base camp is what makes summiting possible.

I never cease to be amazed by the power of words.

Sunshine Sunday - Mother's Day

I am blessed to be a MOM. 

It is the best job.

It is the hardest job.

It is the job that I have loved more than any other job.

The benefits package is incredible, the paid time off..not so much.

These boys that call me mama, that hold my hair, that make me crazy, that want dinner every single night, that create dirty clothes at warp speed, that love to snuggle, that love "helping", that tell me I look pretty, that are ALWAYS thrilled to see me, that overstimulate me are by far the greatest earthly gift I have been given.

Sunshine Sunday: Minutes, Impromptu Dinners, Almost a Nap

After incredibly busy weeks I crave time, time to sit and snuggle, time to actually talk to my husband, time to enjoy a meal around a full table with friends and this Sunday I was blessed with all of those things.
