Eustace – Bracing Myself For All The “Firsts”

He is gone. And now I’m bracing myself for all the “firsts.” The first morning I sip my coffee and read my Bible with no purring kitty on my lap. The first evening I hear thunder and look out the sliding glass doors and he isn’t there, sitting on the mat. No little grey face looking back at me saying “let me in NOW.” The first time I sweep the floor and feel anything but indifference to the little tufts...

How I Became a “Direction” Reader

But I can figure it out and do it faster than I can read it and then do it, so why read it? And in goes the waffle mix, dumped straight from the bag, and an egg and a splash of milk.

So I experiment! It makes a ton, and my favorite part about this dish is eating it for lunch all week. In so many yummy different ways! Balsamic dressing on the salad really adds an interesting tang to the mexican-style flavor! This is what...

My Boy Is Almost FIVE!

Usually right before a birthday I think “where did time go???” But today, as I sit here and think about Michael’s fourth year of life I think, “Wow, it feels like he’s been FOUR forever.” Which, if you know Father Time like I do, is totally weird. It’s amazing how the decision I made a year ago to quit Instagram has led me to this place of complete peace knowing that I have enjoyed my children to the fullest over...
