A Simply Joyful Saturday
It was a simply joyful Saturday. Nothing spectacular or note worthy hppened. I said no to Baby Joy Chaser about a million times. He ignores me about nine hundred thousand times and got high fives when he didn't. He played, barely ate, whined, and napped. I played, overate, sighed, napped, and felt guilty about the chores I wasnt doing. We also took this cute selfie. Or, should I say usie? Do people still say usie??? Here is a little vidoe of us playing outside this morning. Now you … READ MORE

Today was indeed a good day. But I can't take all the credit. Having been through long seasons of disappointment and grief in my life, I have a little bit of a post-traumatic … READ MORE
Chasing Joy on Sad Days. Mom’s Birthday.
Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. She would have been 70 had Cancer not taken her. I miss her so much and it is hard doing this motherhood thing without her. I hate having to take advice from other moms when I really just want to know what my mom would say. Life is not easy. I won't be at work tomorrow.
