Since Tessa Grace has arrived, the one question I’ve heard frequently is: Who does she look like? For our sweet T, I originally thought she looks like our almost two yr. old, Tarah. And Tarah is sooo much like her big sister, Taylor. But then over the days, I began…
3-11-11:Earlier this week, I waited too late to start homework with my kindergartener, Samuel. About the time I was calling him to come to me and begin working, he started crying about getting hurt while playing with his older sibling. Now I don’t think he was truly injured, mostly…
2.12.11:This morning I had the privilege to share a prayer testimony of one of the many ways God has worked in our family’s life through prayer. Two years ago, about this time, I was pregnant with our sweet Tarah and my belly was growing each day. With that growth, and…
Hey there! I have some friends who have fabulous ideas and info on giving your children a wonderful, Biblical education at Christmas, while having a ton of fun! And here they are: Amanda, at Impress Your Kids, has a fantastic new advent book “Truth in the Tinsel.” I know it’s…
Yesterday, almost first thing in the morning, my friend, Melanie, came over to do a photo shoot for my two littlest girlies. With Christmas tree in the background and their black and white red-sashed dresses, they certainly are precious! (Since Melanie is editing, I have just a pic of one…
Toddler T has a winning way. I was watching the reactions of people the other day as they watched her; they couldn’t help but smile at her. Joyfully treading through the store, somewhat alongside Mommy, her pigtails bouncing. A gray and white leopard dress with its red trim seemed to…
Mary DeMuth has given me the privilege of guest posting for her again today. How cool is that?! So here’s a teaser…make sure you stop by her place to read the entire post and thanks for reading!! The smell of hot cocoa and burnt sugar with a twist of mint…
Each night when the Woj tribe gets tucked into bed, we say prayers. Matt and I pray individually for and with each child. Even on the rare occasions when either of us are away, our children want their prayers, even if it’s over the phone. Interestingly enough, Tristina, our 7…
Hey ya’ll. (my best Paula Dean impression) Many times I am asked about my frugal shopping habits. With 7 kids, I try to watch every penny. So I thought I’d share my biggest secret: I have lots of help!! Not with the shopping, but with the preparing, for sure!! In…
A bit tired of the usual grind today, I found my motherly self a bit at odds. Too many “Mo-oms” at once and my head aches. Do you think moms could form a union? Ask for overtime? Demand vacation pay? Request better health benefits? Do you think we could rally…
Reflection is good for the soul. Especially when it is reflection on how God has worked in your life. Twelve years ago today I made my way to the Cincinnati Zoo with a bouncy three year old in the back seat. We were tired; it had been a busy week….
For a few moments in time, the world stopped and my complete focus was on holding my little bundle of joy. The slight squeak in the padded chair as I rocked my youngest to sleep was hardly even noticed. The chair swayed gently back and forth, and her gorgeous blue…
