I’m not always on top of the various feast days of our Church. But, this morning (September 15) when I realized it was the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, I had fear. It felt as if it was a premonition of sorts of the day ahead. I’ve been living in fear all week, […]
Contending With The Fear
We finally made it to the date of the adoption hearing. Four weeks of worry. Four weeks of nausea. Grandma made no efforts to get the twins. She didn’t show up for her scheduled visit and never rescheduled another one. She didn’t tell the social worker if she found adequate housing. Nothing. So, we drove […]
Please Pray For Our Twins
We learned yesterday that we may lose our twins. They are three years old and we have had them for over two of those years. They spent a year in foster care before we got them. The maternal grandmother, whom the twins have never met, has decided she would like to have them. If she […]
Letters To Lisa
One of my favorite things to do is to write on my blog. I think it’s because it’s something I do just for me. It’s not for my kids, it’s not for my hubby. It’s for me. I don’t paint, or sew (at least not anymore), I don’t sing or write poetry. But writing on […]
Healing their Shame- Healing their Body
Wow! It’s been ages since I last posted!! First our computer was giving us grief and had to be fixed at the shop, so I couldn’t write. Then my kids got ill, then I got ill. Ugh. It was not pretty. I have to say though that I came out of it with a new […]
“FEED THEM REAL FOOD!!”
I really like reading blogs. My most sought after for the last 4 years or so have been health and nutrition blogs. My favorites have been: Wellness Mama, (Probably my most frequented blog. She is an awesome Catholic, homeschooling mom of 6 young children who has loads of health info and fabulous recipes) Health Home Happiness, (a […]
Children’s Nativity Set
Is this not the cutest boy EVER?!? My girl friend blessed us with her families this Christmas. I have always wanted a sturdy, play nativity set for my children, but never invested in one. Titus, our 4 year old in the photo above, has already spend hours playing with the set. What a great gift! […]
The Prayer of a Princess
At the beginning of this school year, we put three of our children in a school that was predominately Native American. Ten out of eleven of our children are at least 1/2 Native American. My children wanted the opportunity to go to school with peers who were also Native American. Since I had discovered “unschooling” […]
Holidays Can Be Hard
The holidays are often a very difficult time for some of the people in our family. Each year I forget how hard it will be. When the difficulties arise, it often catches me off guard. But not this year. This year I’m on top of it. Probably because life at our house has been a little […]
Spiders and B vitamins
I feel like my family is my on going science experiment. This morning Matthew, one of our 2.8 year old twins, was having alot of anxiety about spiders. He has had a fear of spiders since we first got him, but hasn’t been anxious about them for some time. But this morning he was […]
