Over the weekend, I was asked a question. Bold and blunt. (You know, some people the Lord gently reminds to keep their opinions to themselves and then there are those I believe He has to scream in their ear : Keep your trap shut! I verge on that sort of…
Last Friday my fourth grader, Michael, sure made his parents proud. His public school teacher called to let me know that Michael raised his hand during class because he did not think he should be listening to a particular story, Tuck Everlasting. While many Christians consider this fantasy story to…
Rough night last night at the Woj house. Baby T must be teething. 🙁 Taylor decided to sing/yell half the night. The last good night’s sleep I had must have been at least a year ago. Or was it fifteen years ago? Want to know “where the wild things are”?…
Just now this sweet baby was sitting so nicely in her exersaucer. Sweet. Precious. Those big blue eyes that even tough men can’t resist. Not that Daddy is a tough guy. Well, he is…but. Ok, backed myself into the corner. Anyhoo, sweet baby T was sitting there so irresistibly that I…

The sea of purple boxes and bags that filled my dining room has diminished significantly since yesterday has passed. But our hearts are full and overflowing because our family had the privilege of hosting the Annual Ohio MPS Family Gathering for the 10th time. Purple has always been Taylor’s favorite…
Sometimes you have to stop what you are doing and remember why you’re doing it. This is one of those moments. This Saturday, about 20 families will join together for a day of fun and sharing. All have a common bond: a child with a terminal illness, MPS (mucopolysaccharidoses). So…
Ok, so I’m a huge fan of sweet n salty snacks. Can devour a bag of chocolate Chex mix like no other. (Can we say “Made to Crave?” ) But Mother’s Day! Does it have to be sweet and salty? Sweet because I spent a wonderful morning with two precious…
