a happy little mama: Counting the gifts
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014/11/counting-gifts.html
A happy little mama. Friday, November 21, 2014. I've been keeping a journal of gifts for a long time - I'm not a faithful journaler anymore, really - depends on the season - I've been writing more lately, because I am. For waking up before the boys this morning and being able to make coffee and a little lunch for Jay before he headed for work. I usually just grunt and we kiss quickly when he wakes up at 5:40am, bless his heart.so it was nice to see his face this morning before he left. He was chatting wi...

a happy little mama: January 2014
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A happy little mama. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. That is my mind these days. Its January. I expect it, to be honest. But - its not. And I'm reminded that. 8220;If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” - CS Lewis. But I don't want to live with a hope for another world. I can't even understand that, really. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Life with my Joys. When Christmas Came Early.

a happy little mama: April 2014
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A happy little mama. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. I am not in a real 'write-y' mood, but just turned on my laptop to sync my music to my ipad, and.well - its on, so.why not write a quick little post? I will say the 'year of depression', as Erin and I refer to.well - more than just 'one' year of depression.is lifting. I know it will likely return, as it seems to every other year or so! Was that just one big, long run-on sentence? Anyways. I don't generally go back and edit before I hit send.I'm not ...Anywa...

a happy little mama: on being thankful
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014/10/on-being-thankful.html
A happy little mama. Friday, October 10, 2014. I can actually find about a million things, I think, to be thankful for.perhaps I should start with that.not even trying too hard, I bet I can just easily type off a bunch right now:. I love that Jonah is up at his Papa and Mammie's this afternoon, enjoying his cousins. No school today - he has a five-day weekend, and he couldn't be happier! My pup is clean! We have a dog groomer just the next driveway over, and though she doesn't always do exactly what I as...

a happy little mama: July 2014
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A happy little mama. Thursday, July 17, 2014. I wish this post title was the Segway into a cute little story about my cute little boys doing cute little boy wrestling moves. But - its about me. and my mind. that is always. always. wrestling. I am always in conflict -. In my mind and heart - between how I actually, genuinely feel and act or react.and the way I know I. Feel or act or react. I tend to do/feel/act how I should. And 'pep-talk' myself often, or reprimand myself for feeling 'less than' I. The k...

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: September 2014
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 4, 2014. I've known this blog post was coming for a while now. I've meticulously mulled it over in my head for a few weeks now. Chosen my words carefully and cautiously. Pondered and thought some more. And no doubt after all that mental work, it will still turn out worded not quite the way I want it to. But I digress. Only four more years and our firstborn will have completed high school. Then what? I would toss and turn, my stomach an acidy, achy pit. Have I taught her enough? Life W...

a happy little mama: May 2014
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A happy little mama. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Nutshell happenings here these days. Levi is up these days around 6:30 - which seems far too early in my opinion. But - he's still a great napper. I suspect he will sleep in later once I give up on the nap, but - I'm not willing to do that yet. Jonah sleeps til 7:15 if I can get that loud little brother of his out of the room in time! Its freezing cold here even though its almost June. I got a sunburn 2 weekends ago, but since then it has been super cold&...

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: May 2015
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. Rocks In My Pocket. You can learn a lot about life from Facebook. It's true. When I ventured back on to the world-wide web of social media, I vowed to myself one thing: to use it only as a tool of encouragement. The world is already bursting full of negativity, and I want to be a light. I need to be a light. I choose to be a light. (A dim light, sometimes.but I'm a work in progress.). Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:7). Do you dare judge? My Kaytlin had bee...

a happy little mama: "Though You Slay Me" (featuring John Piper)
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2014/10/though-you-slay-me-featuring-john-piper.html
A happy little mama. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Though You Slay Me" (featuring John Piper). I first heard this song a couple years ago - and what a challenge.I want to be able to sing this song sincerely - ".Though You slay me, yet I will praise You.though You take from me, I will bless Your name.though You ruin me, still I will worship, sing a song to the One who's all I need.". We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. Love this.d...

a happy little mama: September 2013
http://ahappylittlemama.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A happy little mama. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. SoI think besides MISSING Jonah every day.the thing that is so weird about him being in kindergarten.is just imagining him spending all those hours away from me.sitting in his little class, building relationships, doing stuff.without me there to. Interfere.control him.discipline. Observe and perhaps offer advice if need be! So we can know a little more.and simply because its polite! He has been hanging around with a little kid.we're pretty sure his ...
