I haven’t blogged about this yet because I really wanted and need to think about it. I have been praying for God to help me come to terms with all the questions in my heart. As I said before, my … Continue reading →

We went to a creek in Port Hope (where Sanj does a clinic on Wenesdays). We eat lunch and then the boys just played. I loved watching them. There are only 5 of the boys here. Jordan was at a … Continue reading →

This child of mine hates haircuts. Yet his hair only grows upward! Thank God for shears!

After 2 months… our house is SOLD!!! I have never been more relieved. I am not going to miss that panic feeling of knowing I have to get the house ready for a showing. I will not miss having strangers … Continue reading →

13 years ago I became a mom for the first time. It has been a life changing experience. Sammy has made me a parent of a teenager today. I am scared! I remember turning 13! Someone asked Sammy today…”Do you … Continue reading →

Today was our annual Rhema beach day at Sandy Beach. Our school gets done a week before everyone else so we hit the beach before it is packed. It is always a great day. This year though, we need parkas… … Continue reading →

This is my 3 year old with an attitude! Josh has learned “I hate you.” He doesn’t hesitate to use that phase. It is extremely frustrating because despite the punishment, he does not bend. If he is not sorry … … Continue reading →

This is Sammy and Zachary asleep together. I love it. Zachary loves sleeping with Sammy. They chat, listen to the radio and later than sooner fall asleep. Picture Perfect!

I was forever wishing I was gifted with SOMETHING! Everyone around me could either sing, dance, draw, play at sport, the list goes on. I was not a person with talents. I hated that about myself. In high school, I … Continue reading →

Today is my dad’s birthday. He is a man whose life was one full of contradictions. It was confusing growing up with him. As a little girl, I remember great birthdays, great cakes, creative tiaras, gifts and happy memories. Then … Continue reading →

I have successfully gone one month without sugar. No desserts, ice cream, candy bars… no sweets. Don’t they say it takes 28 days to break a habit? Well I can tell you that isn’t really true. I still feel the … Continue reading →

Church was good today. I love church, at least until the sermon comes around (unless, of course it is my brother speaking). I love singing, the words are worship for me. Then when we sing the occasional hymn, it takes … Continue reading →

My older boys are getting to the age where girls are becoming more a part of their world. Girls, these days are forward. I am sure it has to do with the fact that they mature faster than boys. I … Continue reading →

Mother in-laws… I have so much I could write on this subject. I am not sure how many years it takes to be considered an expert on the subject, perhaps by now I have mastered itl. This blog COULD go … Continue reading →

It is 3:15 p.m. and all the children rush outside. The excitement is contagious… SUMMER IS HERE! The parents are excited… NO MORE LUNCHES… maybe if I am lucky, I’ll get to sleep till 8:30 a.m. when Sanj is leaving … Continue reading →

I hate juice, especially when it spills on the floor. That stickiness is such a nuisance to clean. Don’t you love it when you are out to dinner and the glass spills and you are dodging out of the liquid’s … Continue reading →

I just finished Augusten Burroughs”s book ” A Wolf at the Table.” I was annoyed immediately simply because I thought, “Darn, that could have been the name of my book.” (Whenever that gets done). This book is a memoir of … Continue reading →

Growing up, I was the kid that did as I was told. True, partly or mostly due to the fear of a butt-whooping but I was never one to break rules too often. Growing up, we were not allowed to … Continue reading →

I have a friend whose husband died of ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) which is the condition of having a low platelet count. He left behind 2 little girls and an amazing wife. This Sunday was Father’s Day… it was … Continue reading →

My little man Zachary leaped over the jump rope into grade 1 tonight! WOW! It was a big night for him and he was SO excited. He is such a HUGE personality with such a zest for life. I love … Continue reading →
