Stories of a Mom
14 states, 8 days, 1 road trip!
It’s been on my bucket list to not only visit every single continent, but all 50 US states. Well, I can check 30 of those states off now! Still got a few continents to go too…
Can a Mom keep up with a Navy Seal?
I love a good challenge, especially one that I know will test both my physical and mental strength. I half knew what I was getting into when I said yes to running the endurance course (otherwise known as the e-course) at the naval academy in Annapolis, MD. Half knew….
A lesson in trusting God and having faith…
My gut said to write this. My human brain said “oh no, you don’t want to do that.” I’ve written about God, Jesus and my faith before. I know there is some unsolicited judgment that will come from it, and you might even unsubscribe. Oh well. And I don’t say that...
The Truth From a Mom of Fighting Children
Fighting children is worse than Chinese water torture. At least with water torture it’s something I can control. The drops just drip one after another on me or near me until I go crazy. At least I assume that’s the intent behind it. Go crazy until I break and spill...
International Women’s Day – in honor of you…
It’s International Women’s Day. My intention was to write a blog post for today, mentioning and honoring all the amazing women I have had the privilege of being inspired with and by. And now, it’s 4:30 in the afternoon and it’s not done. Grace. I’m giving myself...

What I Learned in Moab
Thoughts: Water created the arches and the canyons in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Moab, UT. I’m sure in other places as well, but these are the two parks we recently visited so these are the parks that I am referencing here today. Someday I’ll get to...
Humbled
I don’t typically like to write about myself. I’m weird like that I guess. Not someone who likes to talk about herself either, which is why this post is in a totally separate category. I’ve been humbled. Humbled in the most amazing way. Humbled by being lifted up in...
What Do You Want?
“I want, I want, I want!” Those were the words my parents would throw back at me when I was younger, complaining or clamoring for them to buy or give me something I wanted. They always said it back to me in this overly dramatic whiny voice, as if to make a point of...
What Really Matters?
It’s not unusual for us to take two solid weeks on the east coast to visit family and friends over the 4th of July. This year was no different. We enjoyed five nights visiting a friend in the Boston suburbs - and we fully enjoyed being total tourists! Then we rented a...
