June 12, 2017 Sand It was a busy, start-at-3am kind of day. We’d planned on going to the beach but it was almost 6pm and I was still working. Unpacked boxes stacked in precarious towers in what would be the music nook – if we ever got the piano, drums, [...]
June 10, 2017 Health Changer I have this thing about being dehydrated (low water) and anemic (low iron). Or at least had that problem. Pregnancy was like wake up, puke, attempt my multi-vitamin, puke, get to work, puke, and be falling asleep in the truck when we drove home. I [...]
June 8, 2017 Caleb I love to write historical fiction. Historical fiction is fiction (a made-up story) set in a historical setting. It can be following an actual historical figure, about a historical figure, place, or event, or a made-up story in a real time in history. Writing historical fiction [...]
June 7, 2017 Florida Weather Today was normal weather for northeast Florida. Meaning, when driving over the 312 bridge, we left a vicious thunderstorm and emerged under the sunny blue morning sky! On the way back 30 minutes later, to our left was pouring rain and to the right was [...]

June 2, 2017 Sooty Makeup I’m not really a makeup person. (Okay, I almost never wear makeup.) Someone says “makeup” and I think sweaty post-workout drizzle where my face looked like a tie-dyed T-shirt (which was my teenage inexperience with makeup). Rebeccah, however, is very artistic and does makeup [...]
May 30, 2017 Building Katy Bear “Tell me a story about creation!” Pipes Christina. “Animals!” bubbles Rebeccah. So began a little story about a bear named Katy who wants to see God create something. This story was told for about three years before I wrote it down because Rebeccah wanted [...]
May 28, 2017 Winners It’s been an awesome day. I covered morning reservations and we went to church. I always feel refreshed and ready to conquer the world after church. Today the discussion was about winners. We talked about how all believers are winners in the end because we get [...]
May 27, 2017 Where the Crib is Clean It is 1900 hours. I’m at war. I come in armed with every weapon in the arsenal. I am determined to win this battle. THIS HOUSE WILL BE CLEAN! “Mommy!” squeals the toddler, streaking through soaking wet and followed closely by another [...]
