There’s been a voice developing in my head over the past year. This voice takes shards of my day and polishes and smoothes until it’s something I don’t mind putting in my window....souvenirs of my motherhood adventure. A toddler meltdown over a popsicle that in the moment makes me want to bang my head against the refrigerator door turns into a funny story that reminds me how far we’ve come from middle of the night feedings. And when I really tune into the voice, I often find insight into God and His love for me. This blog is the recording studio for that voice. My hope is that the souvenirs of my day serve as entertainment and encouragement to those of you who are banging your head against a refrigerator door. And that you’re inspired to find a voice of your own that turns these trying moments into treasured souvenirs.

The passing of time and seasons...

Two years?  How can that be?  Inches and pounds have been gained (on behalf of our three boys, not Darin and I—whew!) And the VERY long days of preschool is a distant memory.  It all proves the saying, “the days are long but the years are short” truer than I ever imagined.  

This blog served as an outlet for a pent-up mama during naptime.  It was a tool for survival when I felt cornered by life. Now I’m the only one taking naps and the kid-free daytime hours fly by.  This change of season has taken some getting used to.  I’ve remodeled, organized, exercised, and studied but am still left wondering.  What am I supposed to do with the 1-2 hours of unscheduled time during my day?  

Life has come full-circle and I’m back to writing—something that brings me joy and taps into the small trickle of creativity that flows through me.  It’s good to be back!
