More Than Just a Monday

Katie 1:11 PM 0 Comments

Happy Monday, world! Monday is probably one of my top two favorite days of the week. For me, it's the start of a new week. The chance to change the things from last week that just didn't work. It's the day of new possibilities in my world. My other favorite day is every other Saturday. That's the day I get to spend alllll...

Finish It Friday

Katie 1:40 PM 1 Comments

It's Friday and what a week it's been! I've been sick all week. Heck, I've been sick for two weeks. I finally gave in and got some cough medicine and I think it's clearing up! My poor lungs just needed a chance to not cough so that they could start healing. Thank goodness! On top of that, the boys had Monday off (due to...

Time for Me Thursday

Katie 10:39 AM 2 Comments

Wow, long time no see on that graphic, huh? I've been a total blog slacker and one of the things I've slacked on is this post. That's pretty crazy since it's a post that I feel so strongly about. Then again, I feel pretty strongly about all of my themes or I wouldn't write them, huh? Ok, well now that we have that covered,...

(almost) Wordless Wednesday

Ok, I know that technically it's Thursday but I'm blaming the snot monster for making me forget to post this yesterday. I actually had the picture all ready to go and then bam! I woke up sick and just plum forgot. February's theme over at Sunday Shutterbugs is Red. Interesting theme, I'd say being that February has...

Gratitude

Katie 11:59 AM 0 Comments

On this day, I am thankful beyond belief for some of the fantastic people that I have in my life. After posting my last post, I felt hesitant to share it with people. I was scared of how people would respond to my call for help. I was afraid that they would judge me. I was silly. I had the most incredible outpouring of...

My Son - My Hero

Katie 7:42 PM 4 Comments

This is Ben. Isn't he a handsome fellow? This was a quick picture that I snapped on Christmas morning as he opened the package of books that Santa had left him. If only I could convince him to read them now! Ben is my miracle baby. In all reality, he shouldn't be here today. Let me give you a little bit of history. On...

Book Review: The Dragon and the Turtle Go On Safari

Katie 4:34 PM 0 Comments

Oh my gosh, I have to tell you all about this book. It has to be one of the cutest kids books I have read in ages! It just arrived in the mail today and after seeing the cover, I couldn't wait for the boys to be here. I just curled up on the couch and read it. I swear it was just like listening in on a conversation with...

Sometimes It's Hard

Katie 3:04 PM 6 Comments

Sometimes it is so hard to be a mom. I don't often write these kinds of posts here but today, I just have to let some of this out of my head and out of my heart before I explode. I'm going to say this here because it's a safe place to say it. Yes, some people might get upset that I put it out there, but it needs to be...

Katie 4:20 PM 2 Comments

Oh my gosh, I am tired today! I don't know if it's because I had at least one weird, disturbing dream last night that broke up my sleep or if it's because I was so dang active yesterday! For those who don't know, I'm on a weight loss journey (blogged at Welcoming Weight Loss) and I worked out for the first time yesterday....
