Liam’s New Room (Or: The Room of Insane Awesomeness)

Peeps, I am super proud of Liam’s new room. If you’ve been over to our house any time recently, you know this since the first thing I do whenever anyone comes over is squeal, “Come see Liam’s awesome new room...

I love it when a plan comes together

For a long time now, I’ve wondered why God sent Liam to me. Not in a “why me?”, feeling-sorry-for-myself kind of way, but I wonder constantly what makes me uniquely qualified to be Liam’s mother because I believe the children...

Ready, set… boredom (PLUS, a shameless plug)

It's Day 2 and I am totally at a loss for content

This does not bode well for the rest of the month. How do you daily bloggers do it? I don’t expect to get any good answers to that because I don’t think I know any daily bloggers. Facebook and Twitter...

Because I've been doing so well at the weekly blogging

It turns out that it’s that blogging month thing. You know… where you’re supposed to blog once a day for the whole month? I’m not making any promises or anything, but I thought it’d be cool to at least give...
