the babblings of an active wife & mother consumed daily by pink
It’s been about a month since my grandpa passed away. I haven’t experienced much loss in my life, but the loss I have experienced has been HUGE. My first grandpa passed away, coming up on 10 years. My other grandpa passed away May 15 of this year. This one has hit home in different ways. […]
Well, needless to say I’ve been pretty MIA on this blog. It started off as a family blog where I shared a ton of pictures of my adorable kids. Over the years, it turned to an outlet where I shared things that were on my mind, mixed in with more adorable pictures of my kids. […]
Life is unpredictable. Then, it’s predictable. All in all, you just never know what is around the corner. And that’s darn hard. I am a bit of a control freak, so to not know what’s happening around me, or to not have control of what’s happening around me has been hard in the past. We […]
thinking out loud and being transparent with what’s in my mind, and this is the place i do that! sometimes it’s so hard for me to verbalize things, and when i try, it doesn’t make any sense. so that’s when i write. because then it’s out of my head. ha! much on my mind. people […]
I have been wondering and wondering WHEN I would finally feel the sadness about our family no longer growing by another little human being. Both my husband and I feel really blessed with the gifts we have been given, our four little girls. We both feel complete – and neither of us want me to […]
Terminal. So much more than a word found in the T section of a dictionary. For many, it’s not only “just” a word. What is the first thing you think of when you hear this word? I SO wish that the first thing you thought of was an airplane terminal. Or a bus terminal. Or […]
It will be 8 years in July. I can’t believe how fast the time flies. I think of him weekly still. It’s not daily any more, and that does make me sad. I don’t know if it’s the sentimental side of me after having Kensington and my emotions going from one extreme to the other, […]
Basically, our personal blog here has been and continues to be neglected. The only reason, no time. Any online time I have had has been going to de-cluttering my email inboxes and posting over on the SIMPLE moms. My goal was to get all my required, pending posts done on SIMPLE this week. I can’t […]
It was 4 weeks ago today that we said good-bye to our boxer, Abbie. I sit and remember all the wonderful times we had with our dear Abbie (see my post HERE for the full story). After all, she was with us for 12 years. Although 12 years seems like such a long time, it […]
I know she is just a dog, but it’s crazy how quickly they grow in to your life and put a stronghold on your feelings. Today, our sweet Abbie girl is going away. It pains me to write this, but it’s even more painful to know she is in pain. Being an adult sucks. LOL! […]
Preslee is my third child to go through the regimen of 3-Day Potty Training. I was talking to my dad this weekend, telling him about the plans we had for this week. When I told him we were doing the same schedule that we did for her sisters, he assumed it was a couple week […]
I blogged over on the SIMPLE moms, on a topic I typically talk about here. I wanted to be sure to post this here as well for all the family and friends who check this out more than SIMPLE. {Side note, you shouldn’t by the way…SIMPLE rocks too LOL} Anyways, here are a few excerpts […]
