Spiritual Footprint--concrete or poop?

I misread a tweet by @randyelrod that said, “What is your DIGITAL footprint?” I must have “spiritual eyes” because I read it “What is your spiritual footprint?

That caught me off guard, actually. Made me stop for a moment and think about the spiritual legacy I may or may not be leaving. How am I living [...]

Folding the fitted sheet with flair!

Recently, my friend Christi Donaldson tweeted “I’m not good at folding fitted sheets.” To which I responded, “oo, oo, I’m great at floding fitted sheets! I’ll have to show you my trick next time we’re doing laundry together. …. wait.” And yes, I typed “floding”. Lame

So, I decided since Christi and I don’t do laundry [...]

The Bed

I do love a good bed. I mean, put me in the Hampton Inn and Suites any day and I’ll be a happy mama! But, what is it about our own bed? I think it’s more than just the bed. I’ve slept in better beds than mine, but I always love the feel of my [...]

The Front Porch

Just from the title of this post you already have a picture in mind of a front porch, right? Sure you do! They call to us on a warm spring day. We are drawn to front porches that cool us off when it’s an Oklahoma 103 degrees.

It’s the same with my front porch.

We [...]

The Sink

I’m not sure how many times I’ve stood at my kitchen sink washing dishes and watching the girls jump on the trampoline. Who knows how many times I’ve heard, “Mom, look!” as I’m scrubbing a pan or rinsing a cup.

I’ve stood at that sink and wondered if what I was feeding my children was [...]

The Floor

The floor is not my favorite place to sit at 6 months pregnant, but let’s focus on the good times…not huge times.

The floor is another place where life happens in my house. After the kitchen counter, the floor has been a place for many relationship building moments. Sure, when you’re down there you can [...]

The Kitchen Counter

I have a favorite place in my house,the kitchen counter. Before you go thinking it’s because I like to cook, let me set the record straight. Cooking is just a means to an end. The counter is a means to relationship.

I can’t tell you how many hours my husband and I have logged away sitting [...]

A Visitor

From the sound of it, I believe we have a visitor in the house. Right now it’s 11:46 pm and I can hear something chewing on something in the kitchen. I don’t want to walk in there for two reasons: 1. It will hear me and run. 2. If it hears me and runs I [...]

Two Times is Better Than One…I hope! :)

I borrowed a friend’s video camera for awhile, and well, ended up keeping it for a loooong time. But, that’s not the point. What I’m trying to write about is the fact that I found an old home video from 2004 and popped it in just yesterday.

I knew the big girls were on it, so [...]

The Not So Itsy Bitsy Spider

I heard, ‘MOM! COME HERE!” I didn’t jump out of my seat because, well, you know your kids tones and this one was just really like, “Hey, mom, I’m in here and it’d be cool if you came in here to see this.”

“What is it, honey?”

“A SPIDER!!”

Oh man, here we go again. I don’t know [...]
