It's been so long since I've written in this way. So it's a bit awkward and uneventful. I know I don't need to try to cover months of time and happenings in just one moment, and yet I think that's how I feel. So many cluttered things laying around in my mind. In many ways … Continue reading 35 & New Beginnings Again…
To be honest, a couple weeks ago I was a bit anxious to start a new year. Not a big "all-out-of-sorts" type anxiousness, but just that bit that gets you jittered and antsy, unable to settle and focus. With our new sweet baby girl in the house since September our home has finally started to … Continue reading Going Deeper…
As I came around the curve I saw lights at the end of a driveway. I couldn't readily make out what vehicle was flashing the red and blue... It couldn't be an officer's cruiser because the lights sat too high; this was more of a van-like vehicle. Moving closer my beams swept across the side … Continue reading Navigating Hardships.
And so here we are. This time of year always catches me in a weird place. It doesn't feel like it should be so close to the holidays and yet here we are again. Thanksgiving is just a couple weeks away and soon we'll be hanging up the stockings and ornaments. We whip and bend … Continue reading November.

Today was pretty overcast and gray as well so it just made for an all over moody sort of day. Something I could relate to Pooh Bear and his scarf wandering … Continue reading It’s getting darker out…
It's been a great three weeks so far. Complete with tears, yelling, laughing, long nights, good nights, messes, coffee, tears of joy and gratefulness, snuggles and victories. Everyone is settling in and it's been pretty great, pretty normal and I'm trying so hard to not rush through this. I'm here once. We're only ever here … Continue reading Don’t Forget This.
I posted yesterday on my IG about having a rough day with my son. Just not being able to give him the attention and ability to get energy out... One friend of four told us a couple months back that adding that 4th kid was, "pretty much more of the same circus you already know... … Continue reading Hands of Kindness.
Last night I was up past midnight trying to move picture and video files over to a USB backup from my Mac. This #35weekpregnant mama was just trying to get things organized and accomplished and I was so annoyed. My dear hubby had dumped a ton of stuff from his old pc (that he had … Continue reading I Forgot How Little…
It's like we turned around and we're coming up on the home stretch already! This week we're 32 weeks pregnant and this is the part in the game where babies are putting on the weight getting ready for their big debut! It's getting harder to get comfortable and sleep but it's not too bad yet. … Continue reading Getting closer…
I've heard it said before that, "right about when you think you're exhausted from explaining your heart/message/vision/mission - is right about the time people start getting it..." Our Lighthouse Experiment team has hit some of those thoughts and feelings over the past few months. I think I believed that because I had started The Encouraging Voice … Continue reading Do you get it yet?
