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...

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...

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: Creating A Zoo
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015/06/creating-zoo.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. My name is Rachael. And I'm a sucker for homeless creatures. Then Hubs and I wed. And, after coming from a large-family-home, my own new home seemed so.quiet. We adopted our first cat together shortly after. "Goldie" was an aged cat, and I was determined to keep her (him? And that was the beginning of the avalanche of pets that have since resided within our home. Methinks in a few more weeks, when it's time to give these little ones up, it's not going to be as easy as they think.

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: January 2015
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Several years ago my eyes were opened to a little thing called "grace". It wasn't an overnight awakening, but rather a slow revealing. Still learning about it, in fact. God loves me still.just the way I am.". God knows my heart.". I answer to God, not man.". And while I DO answer to God.I still have a responsibility to my fellow man. But, what if? What if I truly and purposely sought God for all the little details? What if we sought to make the "greys" more clear? And I don't ...

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: Eleven
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015/06/eleven.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. My dearest Lexi-Loo-Who (Lexi-Loofah, Loo-Loo),. Yesterday you turned eleven. ELEVEN. I'm not entirely sure at what point you went from a blankie-toting toddler to this beautiful, brown-eyed girl before me now. Life in the past several years has been a whirlwind and when I blinked you began morphing into a young lady. I am so, so blessed that of all the people on this earth, God chose me to be your Mom.

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: November 2014
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 14, 2014. As the all the kids grow older, I'm finding that life gets calmer in some ways, yet crazier in others. I know.a paradox of sorts. As if there was not enough craziness to go around these days, Hubs decided to permit the girls to come home with this little critter. And so, the boys fell in love. Named him "Buddy", and the rest is history I guess you could say. The girls have thoroughly enjoyed taking him for a slide. And towing him in dump trunks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: My Crafty Chick
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-crafty-chick.html
Thursday, May 7, 2015. When I ventured down to the basement last week I was shocked. Stunned. I went down looking for just one book, and what I found amazed me. There, within the damp, dark lower-third of our house was a magical craft land. Full of hair bows and necklaces. Baby bibs and hair clips. Perhaps that last statement was my precise problem. May 15, 2015 at 2:40 PM. Im impressed - I have always envied the crafty types.Ive always tried, but.Im never quite as happy with MY outcomes as with ...When ...

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: August 2015
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. The Great Mother Smother". When the dinner table was cleared, the dishes were washed and leftovers refrigerated for another day, I said the words, "I think I'm gonna go for a long bike ride. By myself.". But once in a while. Every once in a great while. Allow things to shift out of perspective. Okay, so regularly I allow things to shift out of perspective. And such is my life. Messy, clumsy and flawed. But it's beautiful, all the same. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Life With My Boys.

RAnDoM RaMbLiNgS: A Week On The Island
http://rachaels-ramblings.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-week-on-island.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. A Week On The Island. This past week we ventured to our favorite island on the lake. Our annual vacation get-away. And while vacations are usually restful and relaxing, five children on one little island can be.well, loud and crazy. Which is rather contrary to the whole concept of "vacation", but I digress. Most of the week was spent clothing twin toddlers with life jackets and hollering, "WALK! Throughout the week, we also enjoyed:. Canoeing. The trio made many trips out on th...
