My House is MAD

Posted on March 26, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

It’s all out WAR around here. Brackets are crumbling. Put downs are flying. I have never witnessed anything like this before.  Our daughter has challenged her Daddy to his fullest basketball prowess. I LOVE IT! Pops is in on the action, too. Even though he continues to turn his bracket in one day late year… Continue reading

Vacation High is Over

Posted on March 17, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Yep, reality is settling in. Spring Break is over and I find myself steeped in laundry, emails, and tasks to do. I want the restfulness of vacation to linger. However, the stench of sweaty ski coats is winning the battle. Milk needs to be bought. Bills need to be paid. The routine of life is… Continue reading

Distorted

Posted on March 14, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

It is easy to lose perspective if we focus on the things of this world. God desires that we know Him…not merely know about Him. However, when struggles and difficulty come rolling our way, it is easy for us to lose perspective, focusing on our problems rather than on God. Doubt quickly settles in and steals away from… Continue reading

Letting Go

Posted on March 5, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

There’s a piece of me that hates this. My baby growing up. She just turned 17 last week and now she is on a junior class trip to Europe…without me. I can barely remember the new baby smell of holding her in my arms, dropping her off for kindergarten, reading her good night stories or… Continue reading

Mama’s First Kiss

Posted on February 27, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

There’s nothing quite like a Mama’s First Kiss! We started our adoption journey nearly 2 years ago. The first time we met our son face-to-face was last June. To be honest, he was scared to death of my husband, my kids and me. As much as his nanny would try to persuade him to come to… Continue reading
