• Life Is Crazy

  Since the attempted assassination two weeks ago politics have gotten just as crazy. Sunday was inevitable, but not a surprise. Yet the message was clear something was happening behind the scenes to make such a sudden change. Summers always go too fast. Time with my niece is still too short, but moments we cherish. The…

• Play Time… Learning

  Technically I still feel like I am an amateur myself. Using a machine is much different than the sewing I have been doing with cross-stitch using my hands without a machine. Yet I was fortunate enough to find some paw print and Americana dog fabric lately, in the hopes to have some fun with my…

• Goodness Gracious

  Great balls of fire… everything has been pure chaos since Friday morning. Being shut out of my niece’s life essentially for the better half of a year has been greatly felt this weekend. In both good ways and somewhat treacherous ways my Mom and I have felt the differences in moods and thoughts. Boy… it…

• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• Personal Thoughts

  I was looking forward to working on some articles this evening. Unfortunately that idea was completely shanghaied. I am unhappy how tonight unfolded after specifically saying the word ‘No’ more once. Actually I am pretty certain it was said at least 3 different times. Even though we didn’t sanction the arrival of some kids after…

• Play Time: Unhinged

  Do you ever get somewhere and have this perceived idea of what’s going to happen only to be surprised? This afternoon three little girls piled into our backseat when we believed only one was coming with us. Isn’t that quite a jolt, usually? Yeah that was just the beginning of a long evening. As I…

• Unconditional Love

  What does love mean to you? How is it shown in your family? Lately, I have experienced many various forms of love. The love of family from my elders and vice versa love from my niece. Even love from a varied group of my standing communities called Facebook. God’s love gives me peace and comfort…

• Waking Up Today…

  For some reason I woke up really early around 5 am. The entire movement lasted all of 5 seconds or less, but I have felt the pain nearly all day except for 10 blessed minutes. Unfortunately our eyes don’t produce tears at night and in those few nanoseconds of waking up early unleashed such a…

• My 200th Article

  Another milestone. Writing would not have become my niche without this one unique experience. Becoming an Aunt. There is nothing more precious than seeing the family resemblance in a child. There is nothing like the enormous learning curve first-timers have either. The emotional arc of becoming an Aunt has been incredible. Loving another person who…

• Play Time Files

  You may think this is just an innocuous child’s toy. That is so untrue! Yesterday I was inoculated for every shot known to man. These young girls are meticulous. They were certain I needed a shot in my head, arms, stomach and feet and don’t think for one moment it was just one for each…
