As I sat at gymnastics today with Nick, I couldn’t help but be struck with how incredibly fortunate I am to be surrounded by wonderful women who are absolutely fantastic mothers. These women are kind, gentle, patient, loving mothers, and even when they get flustered or upset, they handle it so beautifully. I’m sure they [...]

H.O.P.E. Class, and a Jumble of Emotions
Posted in Infertility, Parenting, Personal Growth on March 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Last Saturday was one of the HOPE classes, and ever since it I have been a jumble of emotions. The class was very interesting, and I learned many things I did not know. It was also very emotional, I spent half of it with tears running down my eyes, sometimes from the stories Tracy told, [...]
So Proud

I am so proud of Nick today. He overcame a major hurdle for himself. I’m sure the struggle isn’t completely over for him, but he showed incredible restraint and determination today and managed to diffuse a situation that could have gotten quite ugly had he decided differently. I posted about it on our homeschool blog [...]

This Week

This week has been one of those weeks that makes me question my sanity. Why am I doing this? Why don’t I just pack up my child and send him off to school everyday, just like most of the other mother’s in the world? It’s not that there has been any issue with homeschooling, but [...]
In-laws

I just got home from a week long trip to California. We went back for my brother-in-law’s wedding and then stayed a few extra days to visit and go to Disneyland. I was reminded yet again how lucky I am to have wonderful in-laws who I really love and who I get along with. Moving [...]
Resiliency

Today I am pondering what it is in people that makes them resilient. Why can some people pick up after major hurts and go on, while others are debilitated for life? What is the difference, and how can we instill those traits in our children? I like to consider myself a fairly resilient person. I’ve [...]
Homeschool Blog

I am sooooo behind on our homeschool blog, I don’t know how I’m ever going to get it caught up. The problem is that I like to put lots of photos on it, and that takes forever. Of course the fact that I am bordering on overextended probably isn’t helping either. Who’d have thought life [...]
Exactly What They Need

Lately I have been going through a strong period of self-improvement combined at the same time with self-affirmation. Over and over I keep learning that I am enough, I am who God wants me to be. Today was more of that, as you can see in part from the last post. I have also been [...]
