bottom of the wash: September 2011

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Monday, September 5, 2011. Handmade out of plywood, leftover trim boards, black paint and A LOT of patience. The hand-painted lettering took forever, but it was totally worth it to see the look on hubby's face when I gave it to him for his birthday. He wanted something to put in his office as a "gentle" reminder to his clients to grow up. (Ha! That's putting it about as nicely as I can.). Links to this post. Mom of four dirt...

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Thursday, July 5, 2012. There is something almost magical about planting a garden. You take some wrinkled seeds out of packets, place them into tilled-up earth and a week later (if you’ve been diligent about watering) little shoots start to appear. Thankfully they are blessed with the gift of generosity because they both have shared their produce with us since my paltry efforts at gardening aren’t producing yet. Th...This bl...

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Thursday, June 7, 2012. Here's what I've picked out so far. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What feeds the washing machine. Wanna wash with me? If you didn't laugh, you didn't follow the instructions properly. The fun side of motherhood. Mom of four dirty things, wife of one hot thing, washer of messy things, knitter of pretty things, servant of the most high thing (GOD) and enjoyer of all humorous things.

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Skinny jeans at 40. I finally succumbed to this (insert adjective of choice here) style trend. I should probably act my age and stay away from skinny jeans, but I'd rather get creative in ways to embarrass my kids. Are 40-year-old moms even allowed to wear stylish clothes anymore? True story.) I felt slightly rebellious and I'm sure she went home and burned the shirt. Truth be told, the skinny jea...

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Saturday, June 2, 2012. The fun side of motherhood. My job as a mom has many responsibilities. Some of them I never knew existed until I had kids. Some of them (like changing bed sheets or watching Legos reproduce) are less than thrilling. Others are just plain fun to fulfill. For instance, it’s a bit of a kick to finally be on the other end of “You’re wearing that? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wanna wash with me?

Bottom of the wash. Never-ending surprises from the pockets of four little boys. Friday, March 2, 2012. Cooks in the kitchen. Because we hope they can eventually function on their own someday (and not die of starvation), we’ve been slowly attempting to teach the boys to cook. It has been an experiment with mixed results. Most meals have been edible, but their appearances may leave some room for improvement. Chili was interesting with very strangely shaped (and very large) chopped onions and celery. 8221;...

Field Notes: November 2012
http://enomaria.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. I wrote this one week ago while I was on a very long flight. At the time I wrote this, Israel was being barraged with rockets. Have you been taking note of the events in Israel lately? Things seem so dark and threatening, but even with storms on the horizon I know who walks with me. I wrote this poem when during my freshman year in college after I had a vision. I can still see the vision, and the best way for me to describe it is by sharing this poem with you.

Field Notes: December 2012
http://enomaria.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. Today I go back to the US after three weeks in South Africa. It is an amazingly beautiful place. The weather has been fantastic as it is summer here in the Southern Hemisphere. It is actually hard to believe it is really December. The silver lining is that I will be saying hello to my fabulous friends back home. Links to this post. Sunday, December 2, 2012. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Field Notes: September 2012
http://enomaria.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 24, 2012. I was talking to someone privately afterward about what I had shared, and I told her that I felt like I was standing at the end of a diving board psyching myself up to jump in- meaning that I knew I needed to go head first into the healing process, but I was a little apprehensive about it. We appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says,. In a favorable time I listened to you,. And in a day of salvation I have helped you.'. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 ESV). One o...
