I had an imaginary friend named Jennifer when I was younger. In fact, I talked about Jennifer so much that my Mom had a dream about her once. I vividly remember the day I went to the moon and Jennifer filled in at me at the dinner table so that my parents wouldn’t worry about [...]
I don’t know why we didn’t think of this sooner, but now that we’re about ready to move closer to our families, we’ve started video chatting. Seriously, you don’t need t.v. when you can watch the kids video chat with their grandparents. Both of our Dads are magicians and jugglers. In fact, our kids think [...]
I married into a superhero-loving household. My husband grew up on a steady diet of comic books and thinks he’s Superman. He actually really is. Just don’t tell anyone else. In fact, I was quickly immersed into the world of superheroes. He discovered on our honeymoon that I had never seen any of the Batman [...]
This week was interesting around here to say the least. The Narrator started his new job and went up to Michigan for a few days for orientation, so the kids and I hung out. It turned into a project week. Some planned, some unplanned. Things always break when the hubby leaves, right? I’m headed off [...]
I finally finished my first knitting project. This scarf was knit with a variagated 4 ply Red Heart, and I love how it turned out. It was knit with 14″ of garter stitch, 18″ of ribbing, then another 14″ of garter stitch. I love how the ribbing makes it skinnier around your neck! I think [...]
Speaking of Scribbit, the deadline for entering this month’s Write Away contest, is tomorrow. The topic – your first bike, and the prize is fabulous. This is the first time I had a previous post that fits the topic!
One of my favorite Mom bloggers, Scribbit, has posted an article I wrote for her site about all of my favorite places to visit in the Tampa Bay area. A warm, sunshine-y welcome to all of you who have stopped by from her site. And if you haven’t stopped by her site today, please do [...]
Just in time for Valentines Day – my favorite cookies with a strawberry twist. These are the best cookies in the world to make with kids because the dough does not need to chill, and you shape the cookies with a cookie press (which everyone needs!) – no rolling, no floury messes! AND the cookies [...]
A chuckle to start your day… Yesterday as we were getting out of the car to go into Bible study, Little Miss found a hair clip on the floor and put it in her hair. “Look at my hair now!!” I told her it was beautiful. T-Rex then took his hand and rubbed it on [...]
Now it’s really official. This is what happens when Mommy is sick and trying to get a house ready to sell. Smart kids ask for chocolate pudding for a snack. Pudding is made from milk. Milk has calcium, therefore pudding has calcium! The box said so! (What you don’t see: pudding up to their elbows [...]

Amelia started pursuing her love of writing after she and her husband moved to Florida and she left her job in marketing to stay home with their firstborn. With family and friends a thousand miles away, she found blogging the daily stories of life to be a great way to stay in touch and recognize how God's story intersects with our daily stories.
The Rhodes recently moved back to Michigan where Amelia stays at home with their two young children, Little Miss Sunshine and T-Rex. She also is a contributor at Our Circle of Friends.
