Easter: Meaning vs. Marshmallow

March 29th, 2010

It’s Easter week, the utmost important holiday to our Christian faith.  As much as I love the Starburst Jellybeans, I think we are guilty of commercializing Easter in a way that takes away from the message of the cross and the empty tomb.  I would love for our boys to see the Meaning vs. the …

I Just Couldn’t Be Prouder to Be a BULLDOG

March 27th, 2010

I just changed my Facebook Profile Pic to this… I just celebrated went absolutely crazy with my family and Gordon Hayward’s (#20) High School Coach’s Fam.

Pure MADNESS

March 25th, 2010

UPDATE: Oh the sweet taste of VICTORY!  I cannot believe my Bulldogs squeezed the juice out of the Orangemen!  Next up on the Road to the Final Four (which would mean coming back home to play in Indianapolis): Butler vs. Kansas State on Saturday.  I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach. ————————————————————– The …

Child Hunger Ends Here

My definition of “hunger” is so skewed. Seriously.  For me “hunger” is what I experience about 2 hours after a full meal.  I have no real concept of food depravity.

Sometimes the cheap toys prove to be the best investments! Just $1 for simple fun on the back patio,… a concrete canvas for imagination,… while carrying on conversations… And creatively making a mess out of clean jeans. To admire a finished masterpiece.     Hopefully I’ll be sharing more “Fun for a Buck” ideas in future …

Making Home The 2nd Happiest Place on Earth

March 21st, 2010

Thank you for allowing me to let me share my heart last week.  An ugly beginning of the week gave way to a superb ending.  Along with my own attitude adjustment, the gorgeous spring weather helped tremendously. I have never been so grateful for a fenced in backyard in my whole life! We’ve been home …

“I Just Caught Fire, I Was As Hot As a Pistol”

March 19th, 2010

 March Madness. It’s the best television of the year (in my humble opinion).  I love the intensity, the upsets, the team spirit, and the inspiration. My favorite basketball inspirational story has to be the story of Jason McElwain, an autistic basketball manager turned sensation.  I love not only the heart of this player, but the …
