It had been an extremely busy several weeks. The days were racing by, deadlines were looming, and the items on my to-do list were not disappearing nearly as quickly as I would have liked. That morning, I was getting our boys, aged 5 and 3, ready for school. We were in their bedroom and the [...]

Don’t you forget it!
Oh no! I can’t see my bum-bum!!!
I am surrounded by men – one big guy (my hubby), and two little guys (our boys, aged 5 and 3) . Being the naturally inquisitive children that God created our boys to be lol, they are always asking questions about why many things are a certain way, and wanting to know and understand more:). [...]
‘Oun Ani…
Our 5 year old started kindergarten this fall, on Sept 7th. We are naturally all very excited and very thankful to God for this milestone. My little guy has graduated from pre-school – Yippee !

Samosa Days & Giraffe Nights: A Thank Fest
I am thankful. My home is currently extremely messy and is truly a shame to behold – we’ve all been pretty sick (each of us in varying degrees) this past week, and everything except the essential stuff has taken the back burner. I am thankful we have a home to live in – the mess [...]
Tatu Yod…Ees!
Some time ago, I was getting the kids ready for bed … we were all happy but were also pretty tired after what had been a very long Saturday of playing very hard for most of the day. We were running very late for bedtime, so after brushing their teeth and getting their pjs on, [...]
