Kaps Kids: When Mothering is Made Ugly

http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2015/04/when-mothering-is-made-ugly.html

Tuesday, April 14, 2015. When Mothering is Made Ugly. There are days when mothering is the picture of what you dreamed it would be:. Bare toes dangling above the floor, messed hair, sleepy eyes, rosy cheeks that smile at you from behind fork-fulls of pancakes. A couch full of littles all snuggled up against you, reading stories full of adventure. Listening to their giggles. Sweet conversations about grace and forgiveness and the fresh snow all over the steam of hot cocoa. Lies of the enemy poured out fro...

Kaps Kids: January 2011

http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 31, 2011. Project 52: Week 4: Motion. It's Monday and you know what that means right? Another Project 52 post! This week's assignment was MOTION. Capture any kind of motion! I had two ideas for this and had a hard time choosing because the outcomes were on opposite ends of the spectrum! One of my concepts was laundry. I mean, my life is consumed with laundry so that just makes sense doesn't it? And We just had lots of fun playing in the 6 loads of clean laundry that were piled onto my bed.

Kaps Kids: January 2013

Tuesday, January 01, 2013. An End and A Beginning. It moves, swings, never stops. A year closes and ends, another begins. A life ends, a new one begins. Yet the world, this world, it never stops spinning. Pain comes, knocks us over, leaves us breathless and we're left to keep going. What we wouldn't give to just pause the rush of water around us. Twice this year I found myself opening myself up to incredible joy, irresistible joy. We open ourselves up to joy and that opens us up to pain. Dishes, diapers,.

Kaps Kids: April 2011

http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Standing on the brink of a rust colored abyss seeing above you a vast expanse of blue, below you straight rust walls that drop parallel, sharply crashing into one another miles beneath. You hear rippling in your ear as the warm water washes over your body. Your hair swishes back and forth and the smell of salt tickles your nose. You are caught up, the boundless sea surrounds you and engulfs you in its emptiness. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am. Hard to look beyond.

Kaps Kids: February 2011

http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 28, 2011. I've been recently entering images in iheartface's weekly challenges and this week's challenge is really fun! It's: Anything but a Face. Where normally you HAVE to have a face in every submission, this challenge you DON'T! It's anything and everything besides a face: heads, shoulders, knees, toes . I immediately thought of the following image and submitted it without much thought beyond:. Then I immediately regretted it! Why didn't I take a second to think? Look at that hair!

Kaps Kids: September 2010

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Personal confessions of a stay-at-home-mother:. The television was on too much today. I fed my children corn dogs for lunch because I didn't know what else to make. I am in desperate need of a shower but was too busy picking up, doing dishes, and editing to take one. Thankfully, my husband thinks I'm sexy still. My house is a mess. Yep, a big fat ugly mess. I have fallen into a habit of threatening instead of acting when it comes to discipline and first-time obedience. Life i...

Kaps Kids: March 2011

http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 28, 2011. So this is life . Da de da daaaaaa. M hmm m hmmm). It is what runs through my head as I take in the scene around me:. The water running in the sink, washing out a jar;. A piece of French toast cooking on the stove, with 3 more on the plate;. 2 tuna sandwiches on one counter;. 4 sippy cups lined up on the other counter;. I laugh at myself and hum. So this is liiiiiiiiiiiiiife". To the tune of that Cinderella song. I don't even know why that is the song running through my mind,.
