Emma- Prom 2021
Good afternoon, on this smokey and hot Sunday. At the end of the last school year Emma’s school actually had a prom. Not a traditional dance, but an event where all the kids traveled around our valley and had pictures taken and gifts collected at different locations. Everyone was able to dress up and see…

Metamorphosis
I’m in love with this picture of my daughters! I have to admit I often miss my girls as babies, because there’s this feeling I get that they are gone. The people they were are not who they are now and they look and act so completely different that it’s as though the littles are gone…

Throwback Thursday- The Blasted Rolling Chair!
Yesterday Emma and I were running some errands and she reminded me of her office chair from our old house. We started laughing so hard as we were remembering this pink chair she used for home school. It has wheels on it and during the school year she spent a lot of time rolling around…

On Being a Mother
I‘ve had 16 different jobs. In those jobs I’ve worked my very hardest. I’ve always tried to be the very best at whatever I did. I always joke that I am a supervisor’s dream because I love to follow rules and I’m dedicated and loyal to my employers. I do what I’m supposed to do…

M.Z., My Youngest Daughter
I have three daughters. Emma is my youngest, and she is the only one who still lives at home. When I had Emma I was 38 years old. I never once worried about my age until she was a baby when all of the sudden it hit me that I was old and she was…

Be Still, My Heart
I had plans to include this in my Saturday Inspiration this morning but I really feel it needs to stand alone. Over the last 22 years I’ve learned so much from raising my daughters. I still learn from them every day. My relationships with them drive me. They encourage me, scare me and they break…

Throwback Thursday- love
This image is of Allie and Pandy. They were two and five. They are now Alix and Amanda. They are 21 and 19. This is a photo of them when I was a young single mama raising them on my own. I remember feeling terrified I wasn’t going to be able to make it. I was…

Throw Back Thursday -For the Love of Teenagers
Today’s throwback picture is of my living room. There was a time in my life that I had a good decade of young girls hanging out at my house. So many different girls ranging from 5th grade to seniors in high school. Before I had children I always wanted to be the kind of mom who…
