I’m Living the Boys’ Life Disgusting Stories by Mom

May 31, 2016

Boy moms pray you don't find worms in the laundry!

  In my house of dysfunctional bathroom use including poorly placed farts I get little boys’ hilarious burps, foam darts whizzing past my computer screen to the tune of heckling laughter, and all sorts of other things I dare not mention, but just wait and I will. I barely flinch. It’s no doubt I’m living the boys’ life with four males in the house: my husband and three sons aged 12 and under. I like to think of us as 4 Alans and an Ann as these are our middle names. Sorry boys, I ... Continue Reading...

Kids have their own agendas not always rooted in reality, but their viewpoint is beautiful in many ways.That viewpoint is what helps them live in the moment more than we do as adults.

Serving as a Christian to a Stranger in Need

April 12, 2016

A few years back I stumbled upon a situation where I served as a Christian to a stranger in need. My young son witnessed and even participated in assisting this person. I believe God used me to help this woman. It was an ordinary day to start out with. Two moms and their kids had just arrived at my house for a play date when my son’s school called because he didn’t feel well and I needed to come get him. My friends graciously said they could stay home with my other two boys so I could easily ... Continue Reading...

Paying Homage to the Kindergarten Teacher

April 9, 2016

This was originally published on Her View From Home. http://herviewfromhome.com/paying-homage-to-the-kindergarten-teacher/ My youngest is now in kindergarten and I am finally able to volunteer in the classroom.  I am amazed how the teacher commands the room. Here is what I heard, and learned, while volunteering in my son’s kindergarten classroom: “But pink is my favorite!” The kids have opinions about everything they want.  They want a certain color paper. They want to sit on a ... Continue Reading...
