Whale of a day…

We broke down and paid for a consumate New England experience ~ whale watching off the coast of Boston. I have to admit I was a little skeptical of the whole thing. Afterall, even if they have all those radars and sonars that say where a whale is located, how could they guarantee that we’d see anything identifiable in the water? And aren’t whales too big, really, for us to actually be able to see and understand just how immense they are? Well…I was wrong. It was incredible! (more…)

In their eyes every bowl of mac and cheese is worthy of a 5 star rating and even in my non-matching pajamas they claim I am “bee-yootiful.” This is one of the many perks of being a mom. If there is ever a dinnertime conversation in which my husband and I have different opinions, the kids always take my side. Always. My husband is often baffled by the lack of allegiance on his side, but my daughter just rolls her eyes at him and says, “Mommy is the boss.” Sigh. I love being the boss. My husband doesn’t take my promotion very seriously, but then again, I do wear non-matching pajamas. In my defense, it’s a tough job being the boss, so I like to be comfortable. (more…)

Choice & Action

So, I have this thing I tell myself a lot: Choice and action…choice and action; that’s all it takes to get things accomplished. I really want to teach my kids that they have the power to choose and that God asks (even expects) them to make good choices. (more…)
