I think one of the toughest parts of parenting a toddler is the sick days. They're just so little and so helpless, it's heartbreaking to watch them hurt. Levi is at the age where he can tell us what doesn't feel good or what aches, and that really helps eliminate "the g…
When I was pregnant with Levi, I wrote this post close to Christmas and I love to go back every year and read/reflect on those thoughts and feelings I was bombarded with as I, for the first time in my life, felt like I related to Mary. I could sympathize and imagine her scenario in ways …
Husby and I always get each other a gift from one another and a smaller gift to each other "from Levi". The other day, Weebie and Daddy dropped me off at the mall while they went on the hunt for my gift. When we met back up, I whisked Levi off and asked for some hints. The re…
We've been up to a lot of holiday fun this past week. Here is a recap through the lens of my iPhone! :) Story time with Santa! Our local Pottery Barn Kids has story time every Tuesday morning. This week the one and only Santa Claus showed up. He read to them The Night Before Christ…
The parent/child relationship can't help but reflect that of our relationship with the Lord. Nearly every day, God gives me glimpses of how He feels for me, through my little Levi. I've always known that He loves me and that I could never fathom that type of love, but having chi…

This year I began a new tradition with Levi called the Wreath of Thanksgiving. We cut out a wreath and some leaves from construction paper and every morning I would ask him what he was thankful for and I wrote it down and glued it to the wreath. I got the idea from a Christian children&…
Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE came to our town last weekend and since it is Levi's absolute favorite show, we knew we just had to go. That, and I am a sucker for all the "LIVE" shows - they're just too much fun. Um, you know how they say having a child makes you a child? I am w…
Happy Trick-or-Treating from my little space explorer! (He wanted to be Buzz Lightyear, so we got him the costume and it was entirely too big. So, we made him Buzz Aldrin instead.) (Hee Hee Hee.) I love it! Have a great day!
