Since Adalynn is at the point where she is moving around, we decided not to have a Christmas tree in our living room this year. Instead we put one up in Lili’s room. Mike was out running errands one night and came home with a wonderful tree for Lili’s room. Obviously I instantly loved it […]
My thoughts on "The Maxwell Daily Reader" for January 5th
“If you could be doing anything, what would it be?” GREAT question!! Today’s article talked about finding the right job for you. I know that I am absolutely doing what I have been called to do . I am fulfilled daily! Do you feel the same way? The article talks more about moving people around […]
My thoughts on "The Maxwell Daily Reader" for January 4th
I liked today’s article. “You Are Your Lens”. It talks about how you are who you see others as, which by itself doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Pretty much, if you see people as liars, untrustworthy, deceitful, etc. you will always see other people that way. If you see people as trustworthy, honest, […]

Discernment….this one is a tricky one for me to understand. Here is the description used in the article, “the ability to find the root of the matter, and it relies on intuition as well as rational thought.” My understanding and interpretation was use your head to sort out the facts within the matter and then […]
My Thoughts on "The Maxwell Daily Reader" for January 2nd
Communication is so incredibly important in any relationship you have whether it be with your spouse, a sibling, a parent, a co-worker, a boss, etc. Communication, or lack thereof, can make or break a relationship. My husband and I strive almost daily to make sure we are communicating completely with each other. It is very […]
My silly little Adalynn!
Here are a few pics from recently of my little Adalynn….she will be 8 months on the 8th of January. How has this time flown by SO incredibly fast??!!
TSO with my honey!!
Mike yet again surprised me this year with tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. We had a wonderful time…and killer seats I may add! We also took Mike’s parents as well as mine. Following the concert we went out to dinner at Rose’s in East Grand Rapids with both our parents. What a lovely evening. Here […]
My thoughts on "The Maxwell Daily Reader" for January 1st
TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS…You have to start somewhere. You may want to conquer the world but if the dishes in the sink keep piling up and the toilet and tub aren’t clean, I don’t think conquering the world is going to seem a viable task. I have a very huge heart and am […]
Adalynn’s First Word!
Well, amongst all my tries to get Adalynn to say “ma-ma” first, I failed. She actually has no interest in her “m’s”. So….”Da-Da” was her first word! She is so cute now that she is starting to babble and start using some of her little communication skills…although to us all, it is still just babbling. […]
2010 and my Maxwell Daily Reader!
Mike and I just saw Julie and Julia…a fantastic movie. If you haven’t seen it, you can check out the trailer by clicking HERE. As with all movies, some people loved it and some hated it. I really did enjoy it. I was inspired by that movie so much that I have decided to try […]
While I’ve Been Gone…
The past few weeks have been SO incredibly busy for me, as is the same for you all I’m sure! I’m going to do my best over the next few days here to update my blog with some pictures…and videos if I can muster the energy to get those organized. While I have been gone […]
Great thought for the day…
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I’ve ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about. Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the […]
