Marriage And Family
“Ask and receive.” “You have not, because you ask not.” “When you ask, expect to be trained to receive the gift.” “Ask and receive.” Have I told you lately how much I’ve been hearing this message in my heart and from others? Why would I keep hearing this, I wondered? Could it be I was [...]
For a while now my husband and I talked about him cutting my hair for fun. Well tonight he did it. For the first time. I was a little nervous. Deep down inside, I somehow knew he would do a good job. He’s good with visual and artsy things. Still, I took a deep breath [...]
This past weekend our family attended a funeral and said good-bye to a beloved relative. This particular relative lived a long and full life. As I sat there listening to family members share stories about her life, I was touched and the tears started to come. Her kindness and generosity touched so many lives it [...]
My husband can be surprisingly funny. He doesn’t try to be funny. Case in point. One day after shopping at Safeway, he was pushing the kids in the special shopping cart with a cute red & yellow car in the front. You know, the kind for little little kids to ride in. After all these [...]

Believe it or not, I learned how to store my tops like this – upright in the drawer – from my husband. I was regularly struggling to cram 25-30 tops into my dresser drawer… …until one day I took a look at my husband’s drawer and it looked so neat & tidy stored upright… So [...]
“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” ~Anais Nin Such a beautiful quote I saw on my friend Casey’s blog, it’s worth repeating. Over the weekend our family visited a church and saw our [...]
