Today is a new day.
I didn't take time to read my Bible, aside from my daily verse reminder. I got annoyed with Spencer because he's going through this phase of flipping to his belly and screaming every time his diaper needs changed. I may have raised my voice at him. I didn't get my car cleaned out or vacuumed,… Continue reading Today is a new day.
18 months.
Spencer is now 18 months old... how are we seriously 6 months away from his 2nd birthday?? Time flies and this momma wants to cry.

Here are… Continue reading When you don’t have a mother on Mother’s Day.
Letting life happen.
I've seen the movie Forrest Gump probably 500 times. At LEAST 500. It's one of my favorite movies, and my dad loved Tom Hanks movies, so we watched it a lot. Watching it on Netflix with Spencer yesterday, I got kind of emotional. I don't know if it's because I have a child now, and… Continue reading Letting life happen.
