Pearls of Wisdom: Sunday Seven 9-2-2014
http://pearlshellfish.blogspot.com/2014/02/sunday-seven-9-2-2014.html
High adventure, fearless cooking, insight and humor accumulated throughout a 27-year journey. Currently posting from my new home in Charlotte; here are a quick seven things to try:. 1 This book: Elyse Fitzpatrick's Because He Loves Me. Elyse is an exceptional speaker (! And a gifted writer. Here, she beautifully brings to light gospel truths about how Christ truly transforms us, even in our everyday lives, as we walk with Him. A very refreshingly truthful book. 3 This game: The Game of Things. Full of ea...

Jovial State of Mind: Here Comes the Sun
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/2013/01/here-comes-sun.html
Jovial State of Mind. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. Here Comes the Sun. Sure, I can blame the all the concussions from soccer, or maybe I need to be taking Ginkgo on a daily basis, but I struggle to remember events, days, ok even years! I am not talking about I can't remember my 4 yr old birthday. This is as big as I cannot remember the day I met my sister-in-law for the first time 6 years ago, getting my driver's license at 16, or even what I did for New Years in 2011! And IT WAS GREAT! I want to remember c...

Jovial State of Mind: The chapter: Recurring Loss
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-chapter-recurring-loss.html
Jovial State of Mind. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. The chapter: Recurring Loss. Blogging about infertility can mean, from time to time, the less jovial post. This last month we drifted out of the waters of infertility and into the vast ocean of recurring loss. Infertility can keep you wearingly treading to keep your chin above the waters of insecurity. Recurring Loss simply drowns you in grief. Infertility is struggle to get pregnant, recurring loss is the struggle to stay pregnant. Yeah, it hurts less. I can...

Jovial State of Mind: How the D's do ONE
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-ds-do-one.html
Jovial State of Mind. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. How the D's do ONE. He celebrated his first year surrounded by a family that is absolutely smitten with him. He brings JOY to our life every day. Did I mention that the cake was egg and butter free? The egg was on purpose - I haven't introduced eggs in his diet yet and did not think first bday party was the right time to discover if he had an allergy. Googled up some suggestions and threw in a little applesauce and a mashed banana instead. A bit of silliness.

Jovial State of Mind: One month
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/2014/01/one-month.html
Jovial State of Mind. Thursday, January 23, 2014. The long anticipated one month home post. And I DO NOT want to do it. Not because I am not completely smitten with most definitely the cutest baby IN THE WORLD. Because I am. Not because we are not getting into routine and learning to live life as a family of three. Because we sort-of are. Not because Little Man is not growing leaps and bounds and learning new milestones daily. YES YES. WAY BETTER. For ALL of us. No contest- I am now mom of the CUTEST BAB...

Jovial State of Mind: Be Jovial
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/p/be-jovial.html
Jovial State of Mind. Trying to be jovial are we? This is gonna shock the socks right off some people who knew me long ago, back when I was President or Vice President of practically every club/social group at my small private school, but the truth is that I am quite insecure and struggle with social anxiety. I have left many of you staring now at your bare toes, socks off! In college, I found myself biting my nails (never did it before and now can’t kick it) on Sundays in the church auditorium. A whole ...

Jovial State of Mind: It's nice to meet you.
http://jovialstateofmind.blogspot.com/2013/12/its-nice-to-meet-you.html
Jovial State of Mind. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. It's nice to meet you. We woke up knowing we were most likely not going to the orphanage today. We were told we would have to wait till Monday. What they said made sense logically, but emotionally, "Can I just meet my son already people? Our facilitator call at 2 pm and said she was sending a taxi our way to get us because she was rushing to try to finish all the paperwork herself and (no promises) try to get us out to the orphanage today! How 'bout now, ...
