Fixer Upper
(Haha. Love that picture!) This past week has been a total blur, to say the least. Last Tuesday and Wednesday we were driving down to Florida to start our lives in this awesome, sunny, beautiful place where we felt God calling us. Thursday we moved in with the help of Gary’s parents and some families…

Extreme Tailgating
Driving down to Florida these past two days, I have been stretched waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Let me bring you up to speed a little. I’m the passenger. On trips, I’m the snack distributor, Facebook surfer, blog writer, picture taker, napping sidekick. Gary is the driver. Not me. Not because I can’t drive.…

Going Down Swinging
This day started on the wrong foot. It’s like a continuation from yesterday. And the day before. And the week before. Yeah. It’s been a rough few weeks. I woke up this morning exhausted from one kid coughing all night long, my throat scratchy, a junked up nose, and a kid who needs at least…

3 Old Mascaras
Digging through my makeup bag, I pick up three old mascaras before I finally find my brand new Cover Girl one. The others haven’t made their way to the trash yet. I’m always scared one will get jacked up and not go on right so I’ve kept the others as backups. Just in case. Can’t…

The Triscuit Man
I’m on my 30 minute lunch from working a promo event at Walmart. Man, this Subway cookie is off the chain. No, the promo isn’t for Subway. It’s actually for Magnum ice cream bars. A few minutes ago I watched the Triscuit vender stock product in front of me. He moved the cracker boxes around,…

Backup Singer
You’ve been their biggest fan since their first album was released. The moment you heard their voice, you were hooked. You’ve had a few back stage moments snagging autographs and pictures with them at concerts, and you own every t-shirt and arm band they’ve come out with. It’s Friday morning. Your phone rings. Omg. It’s…

Hot Pink Scrunchies
My kids could probably eat their weight in pancakes. Landon could care less about syrup, thank God! His 15-month hands would be a hot mess! But Kendyl, on the other hand, pours on the sticky maple goodness before she digs in. I have to pull up her hair before she eats…

Glow For It
Reading in Exodus this morning, I instantly fell in love with a verse and concept in chapter 33. In verse 11, it says that God spoke with Moses, get ready now, face-to-face like a man does with his friend. What an honor and amazing experience this must have been for Moses! Could…

Time Out.
I went to bed close to midnight last night because I was trying to get some glitches straight with the website. I’m one of those, “It has to be done right now and not a minute later” kinds of people. I get it from my Granny. When her mind is made up, there’s…

Two Birds With One Stone
There are times when we call out to God and plead with Him to come through for us about certain situations. Begging Him to heal our bodies, or to give our spouse a raise that we’ve needed desperately for years. Then there are times when we simply lift a request once or twice to…
