It’s a Big Week!
What a week! I have spent the majority of it in bed! A sickness hit me like a ton of bricks. My chest hurts. I cough non-stop. I had a fever, but that has calmed now. My body aches, especially my head! I didn't get out of bed for nearly 4 days. I only got… Continue reading It’s a Big Week!
I am Raising Warrior Moms
Yesterday I was there to witness the birth of my grandson, Holland Maitland Jessop. My daughter, his mom, is a warrior! Her labors and deliveries are much faster than mine ever were. She really "labored" all day in what experts call pre-labor. It is a labor that is uncomfortable, makes you super tired, and moves… Continue reading I am Raising Warrior Moms

Another Opening, Another show

It's not just teens who have forgotten the benefits of cooking nutritious meals at home. I was sitting by some ladies this weekend who were chatting away about how they "eat out" 3-4 times a… Continue reading Adulting 101 – What’s Cooking?
Week 2 – A week of Learning
Our missionary has been gone 2 weeks now. We miss her. Nothing is the same without her. For example: Lilli and I went to the Regional Thespian Competition. We rode the bus to Eugene. I spent the day judging tech entries. Lilli spent the day competing. She did a great job for her first competition. … Continue reading Week 2 – A week of Learning
Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down
What a week! Here is what you missed. I missed Lilli going to SnoBall... I was working. She went with her friend Zoe… A girl in her choir came over with her sister to help Lilli get ready. I don’t think she liked the makeup. But she went with it! I think they were pretty… Continue reading Week 1 of Our Missionary’s Service Down
