If you don’t know by now, I am pregnant. I am thrilled and so very excited. Praying for a healthy baby, whatever sex God blesses us with. But look at the title. Do you see a pattern? Those are the birth weights of #1, #2 and #3. Ummm…does this mean I’ll be having a 9 […]
thoughts on the tragedy on 4/15/13
This was submitted to the Tommy Mommy blog. The original post can be seen there, but is an altered version of my thoughts…FYI. I am a runner. A long distance runner. I love it, it is one of the top things in my life that brings me closer to my Lord. It’s the road, me […]
the day i flushed a couple hundred dollars down the drain.
You may think that I am just trying to be funny, but in all reality, I really feel this is what I did the day I decided to take my orthotic inserts out of my shoes. Here is a little back story on it though… I’ve been having some massive knee pain. Once using Dr. […]
i’m not a quitter…but I want to sometimes!
Let’s face it, we aren’t getting any younger. That fact is apparent to me every single day when I look in my little girls’ face. They keep growing…which means I keep getting older. But just because we are getting older, doesn’t mean we have to succumb to that fact…does it? For me, it does not. […]
48 questions answered that you never asked for answers to…
Emily did this, and I thought it was fun. So in good plagiarist”ic” fashion, I copied. But…it’s ok…she copied from HERE…who copied from HERE. Hmmm, I see a pattern going on. Anyways, since I”m putting off the inevitably large piles of laundry that continue to stack up, I thought I’d entertain whoever wants to read […]
who has your vote? #election2012
In all honesty, I am not sure who ever is voted in will be able to make a ton of change on what has happened over the last 4 and even 8 years. However, my choice for voting this year rested on morals and values and what I BELIEVED was the right thing. I have […]

a long time coming :: thankful heart thursday style #tht
It’s been a long time coming, but the time is here. It’s time to make it “blog-official” and come out of our housing closet. We moved on August 15 from our home that we imagined ourselves being in for 4-5 years MAX. Fast forward 8 years later…three kids later…two work at home parents later…a few […]

Today marks a first on SIMPLE. We are starting a Thankful Heart Thursday. One of our newest writers Renee is spearheading the project and I am so thankful for her!

gymnastics it is!
All summer long we have been talking with Lili on what “sport” she wants to do this school year. I already have her signed up for soccer (because I love it and hope she does too secretly), but the big discussion was whether she would dance or do gymnastics. We started her in gymnastics when […]
