Our house is officially on the market. And now the waiting game begins. I feel like a schoolgirl waiting for that cute guy to take notice in me. Every time the phone rings, I jump. Every time I leave and come home, I race to check the messages. I pace the house, look out the [...]
Ok, everyone sing with me now, “its a small world after all its a small world after all its a small world after all its a small, small world” Ok, now that you all have that stuck in your heads…actually, when we went to Disney World for my birthday we took the kids on the [...]
Today we are signing papers with the realtor and putting a sign in the yard. It’s a big day. And The Narrator and I are sick, sick, sick. Ugh. We’d appreciate your prayers all around as we drag our couging, aching bodies around to get everything ready for the realtor to take pictures!
T-Rex got out of bed and came into our room one morning, and asked me where his favorite blankie was. I told him, “It’s probably still in your bed.” He looked at me and said, “Probly not. I checked.” T-Rex has been practicing saying his first and last name. One night at dinner he was [...]
I think one of the hardest things for me about this move is going to be having my sewing machines packed up for who knows how long. Sewing is messy and takes up lots of space and isn’t going to be very conducive while trying to keep a house spotless for realtors to show. Creating [...]
It’s no secret that I love the Gulf of Mexico. My favorite getaway ever was the 2 days we spent on Sanibel Island and I got up at sunrise to walk the beach and look for shells. It’s the only time I like to get up early! I am definitely going to miss the Gulf [...]
Early in my motherhood, a friend introduced me to the writings of Barbara Curtis – specifically her books on mothering toddlers. Barbara is a mother to 12, and is a trained Montessori teacher. She has a passion for helping moms enjoy and make the most of the precious toddler and pre-school years. I think the [...]
We’ve had a string of cold, rainy days – I know boo-hoo. The kids were going a bit crazy, so we pulled out our scissors and Kumon workbooks and started having fun. Suddenly, I had a stroke of motherhood genius and realized the pages that Little Miss was cutting apart from the Let’s Cut Paper [...]
Between here and Facebook, I’ve been getting a ton of questions about our move and have been feeling the love both near and far. You’ve all encouraged us more than you could ever know. There have been a few questions repeated, so I’m going to answer them here. How are you feeling about the move? [...]
I was sitting at the table eating lunch with Little Miss Sunshine and T-Rex yesterday when Little Miss suddenly asked, “Has Jesus come back yet?” I love it when she brings up questions about Jesus in conversation. Those are what I call “faith by the way” moments (based on Deuteronomy 6:4-9). Those questions show me [...]

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.
