Super exciting new years…or not

January 2, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

Neighbors?!? fireworks woke us up at midnight. We thought the kids fell out of bed. All clear.   Before that we played on the internet, snacked on a pint of Ben and Jerry’s (Karamel Sutra), and watched Dr. Who. My husband fell asleep before 10. I finally shook him awake off the couch and got … [Read more…]

What do you hope brings you joy in the coming year?

December 30, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

December’s theme focused on joy. The last question I’m tackling is: What do you hope brings you joy in the coming year?   Ever since I started writing these posts ( a lot more frequently at the beginning of the month than the end, holidays, you know…)  I’ve been thinking a LOT about what makes … [Read more…]

It’s the most wonderful… oh shut up already- when winter does not equal joy

December 26, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

What season do YOU think is the most wonderful time of the year? Is it winter? No, no, definitely not.   My husband LOVES the snow.. Loves! Me? Not so much. I’d rather it bee 100 degrees, high humidity, working outside with sweat rolling down my nose… give me heat! I can always cool down … [Read more…]

Joy: in text form

December 16, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

One of the topics for NaBloPoMo in December was about the funniest text you have received. Since we don’t text that often, and usually it’s for a specific purpose (we use e-mail, not text for nearly everything) there’s not that much funny there.   But I did get something joyful this morning: I made my … [Read more…]

Joy in Christ- Share it like the kids

December 14, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

The kids always put their all into the Christmas program at church. This year thankfully there were no angel halos shredding silver tinsel all over the carpet. No ties around heads or rope sashes for shepherds and crowns covered in foil for the wise men. The kids just sang. It was epically bad and beautiful … [Read more…]

Joy: Yourself or others

December 13, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

Topic: Do you think you maintain a good balance of making yourself happy while making other people happy?   Excuse me while I laugh at this thought. One of my friends told me that I didn’t even have myself on the proverbial ‘to do’ list. I’m trying to change that. I got a haircut. It … [Read more…]

Prunes are just big raisins and other food lies that work

December 7, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

  ***Note Just like you, your child is an individual- whether 2 weeks, 2 years or 20 years old, your child is still your child and it can be immensely frustrating if you have a food issue. After all, this wonderful child you carried/adopted/fostered has his/her own sense of taste and you can’t make it … [Read more…]
