It is silent in our house–amazing! Michaela is being bounced in her bouncer with my foot.

It was strange because I had been in the middle of nursing her and she was voraciously snarfing [...]

Just because
Update-ish

What the retailers do not want us to chant to ourselves….
Use it up, wear it out,
make it do, or do without.

A thousand I love you’s

Talk is cheap. This article needs to be taken to heart especially in marriages. A thought that hit me the other day is that one action can shout louder than a thousand “I love you’s”. It really made me desire to be authentically remade by the Author of Love. No wonder I have 1 Cor. [...]
