In Which I am Grateful for My Friends

Ironically, I have been more socially active during my period of bed rest than any average month in the life of...!

(Let me pause here to say a big "Thank You!" to my friends who have made the trek north to sit and brainstorm with me and bring me great reading material!! And let me also say an even bigger "Thank You" to my mom who has graciously put up with me having company at her house, which I know is more challenging for her than it is for me!)

It has been such a joy to get my mind off of the work drama and the baby drama, and focus on some creative ministry opportunities, while also reconnecting with some women whom I truly find amazing.  I feel absolutely blessed to serve with them and really excited about some of the things we have been planning!

With so much going on personally, I feel like I really don't know and can't even speculate about what the summer and fall are going to look like. But through meeting with these women, I feel like God has reminded me that He is in control and that good things are coming.  In all things, He will be glorified and we will be blessed!

    I think I like this whole bed rest thing. You write a lot more, which I of course love reading!

    Have I told you lately what an amazing mother you are? I've always known you make a wonderful daughter...and it is fun watching you be a great mom! Now I must go and read to my precious granddaughter!

In Which I Welcome September

I adore September.  It's not what you're thinking. I'm not a big fan of pumpkin spice anything and I'm not counting down the days until Christmas, but I do love Fall and Winter. True, September 1st is not the start of fall, but it is the beginning of the end of summer.  In September I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  The end of the oppressive heat and ever fluctuating vacation schedules. Rhythms return to normal. Apples will soon be out in delicious abundance and yes, pumpkins will turn the world a lovely color of orange. Cooler weather and warmer drinks; September is beautiful and full of promise.

In Which We March On

March comes in a like a lion, what else? Still the snow, never melts! (If you're singing along to Seven Brides...you're right!) Where did that saying come from anyone? I get it. February was so mild, it felt more like spring than winter. Then just before spring actually arrives we get our only significant snow of the season! We had a great overnight snowfall, a real snow day, the kind where everything actually closes (my favorite!). Everything should have closed the next day too because of the winds and the drifts. Downright dangerous! But we made it through, alright. Aside from the weather, March was a whirlwind of activity. Grayson's sixth birthday, Jonah opened at Sight and Sound, Piercing Word/King's Kid's rehearsals, and Ray's birthday all kept me pretty busy. We have one more week to go during which we have Madi's birthday celebration for her preschool class (her birthday is in June - don't ask), Brooklyn's Broadway Studio showcase, our...

A Day in Jaime's Homeschool (ages 10, 6, and 4)

Our days in this season of life follow a very relaxed structure. Each day has such very different demands. While I would prefer to go with the flow, whatever that may be, my kids prefer a more defined plan. They like to know what to expect at any given moment. So our daily rhythm falls somewhere between these two extremes.  My day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with coffee and my Bible. I love connecting through Hello Mornings because of its grace based approach to starting my day in submission to the Lord. Through accountability, community, and Bible study I get that flexible structure I need - a big theme in my life right now! My "early riser" (the four year old) will often join me on the couch while I read. My husband makes breakfast while I enjoy a second cup of coffee and supervise morning chores. By 9 AM he is out the door to work (except when he's not...because that would be too easy.) At this point I give my kids a warning that we will start our school day at 9...
