She Keeps Me Hoppin’

A while ago, I was about to speak to a great group of homeschoolers. Holly and I were laughing and getting to know the crowd. I told a story of one of our many adventures – while Holly was walking to the back to get me some water (she’s so awesome, if you hadn’t guessed it, yet.) Anyway, a member …

The Joy of the Lord

My sweet husband, Jeremy, is busy cooking dinner for me for Mother’s Day. He’s a gem. Most of you know how many adventures we have, and the trials we have endured. My goal in life is to laugh my way through – to find the joy – the joy of the Lord, in it all. Life is hard, but God’s …

I haven’t added up the pages, and …

My Katie – Girl, We’ll Miss You!!

Can You Say, "Loopy"???

I’m on muscle relaxers and pain killers for some horrific pain I’ve had in my shoulders and neck. About a week ago, our incredibly powerful, custom security alarm went off — REALLY early in the morning (meaning, I was NOT awake yet, nor was anyone else!) I scrambled to get out of the bed trying to reach the control panel, …

Pillows, Toilet Paper and Huggin’ in Wal-Mart

I was in Wal-Mart the other day with Holly. This little trip came at the end of the day, after we had been filming for Discovery Health Channel, and we found out that we had feather pillows on the couch. Yes, I know. Random find there, huh? Let me explain. I had been sneezing a lot during the day, sat …
