I was tagged by “HT” at Heart Journey… She wrote: Okay… here’s my totally random post of “8 Random Facts” and these are facts, by the way. 1. I love to take walks in the spring… or on the beach… or through autumn leaves… or crunching snow or in friend’s yards or into very familiar situations/houses. 2. [...] So, what are you going to do now that you have finished high school? Going on to College? Going to make something of your life? What do you want to do (read: what career are you going into)? Well, first, I want to be a wife and homemaker — Yes, I want to be a wife and mother. What?!?! You just want to be a homemaker? Don’t you want to do anything? O, yes, I do want to do [...] The ‘I Wills’ of Motherhood I can’t handle this job.” “I can’t do this.” “I’m never going to make it through this.” Have you have said those words? I know I have and at the time, I really meant them. And I will likely really mean them if/when I say those words again. It’s been a long time since I said those words, or felt those [...] Those first two little teeth… those same little teeth that made their debut five years earlier mark a milestone in that little one’s life, when they begin to have a bit more space in that growing jaw and then become wiggly in delighted little fingers. With probably the same thrill and joy we felt upon first seeing them pop through, we pull them out. A surge of the bittersweet may wash [...] I just came in from receiving a package from the UPS man. He stops by every few days to bring packages for my husband. And it dawned on me today that he is always greeted by a little caravan of children on bicycles or skates or, on rainy days, leaning over the back of the sofa to watch him through the living room window. They watch for him and he watches for them. They see his big [...] What do you think Michelle Dugger says when people ask the predictable question: Are they all yours? Blog this!

Even when we mothers look at ourselves in the mirror, we undoubtedly have mixed emotions as to who we are, what we do, what we hoped we’d be and what we are becoming. We may think back on memories of our mothers with bittersweet emotion… loving them [...] I’ve come to believe that having traditions or the “we always did_________” is probably one of the most important things a mother can do for her children and family. I can’t think of a better way to be remembered than by the children looking forward to or looking back on special traditions that mama keeps or the tradtitions she kept. As we look forward to special events in our lives, we are most often thinking of how *we* like them or [...] Some of the best experiences or most meaningful moments have happened around our family breakfast table. It’s where we pray, where we eat, where we talk together, where we study the Word together and where we clarify and define what the Word is saying to us — what we should do, how we should live and what the LORD requires of us as believers and as a family. It’s also where we make our plans and share schedules and [...] So, we were sitting at the breakfast table – the three additional chairs added to the coziness (I said, cozy-ness, not craziness) we experienced yesterday morning.
