A nice quote for the new year

"Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." —Psalm 16:5-6

Being Mom in a New Year

UPDATE: Formatting changes are in the works! Always fun stuff...also meaning my original post needs updating...my email is now on the LEFT side!

So, after Abby goes to bed, occasionally (ok, most of the time), I surf. I used to surf with a passion. Yes, I am one of those people, lol. I even had a program to help me! Called Stumble Upon. I don't use it much these days. I have baby kisses, giggles, and milestones to think about during the day. But in the wee hours of the evening, after her bedtime at 8, I sit in our living room with Brandon and I surf! It is such precious time!

I've recently discovered that there are a lot of mom blogs out there...I mean a LOT. Not just ordinary moms...Christian moms...moms who gave up careers in the outside world to focus on the world at home with their babies. Moms who put the Father and Son first in their homes....and focus on the hearts of their children. These moms blog about sick babies and lost babies, about how they maintain their homes, how they cook, etc. All of these women are linked together in a quickly growing network. If you skip from blog to blog, you can become overwhelmed by the enormity of it.

Well, that said, I too would like to be a mom like these. Which brings me to my blog. I started this thing 4 years ago as a means to get my thoughts out "on paper" during a busy time in my life...the first year of law school. As the years past and life happened, I slacked on it big time! So now I am searching for a new path for my blog...one that shows who I am today and what it is like for me to be mom.

So at some point soon, there will be a massive overhaul of this blog. Any suggestions from anyone who stumbles here are very welcome! My email is in the right sidebar.

Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas!

As my daughter tries to bang on the keyboard while jumping on my lap, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope all who chance upon my blog will take a moment to remember the reason for the season. He is the Reason...our Grace, our Forgivness, our Everything. I am so thankful this year for my family...my faithful husband, my joyfilled daughter, and an extended family I adore. They are the reason I smile when I wake up and when I go to bed.
