Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Missing my sweet little baby girl.


Its really hitting me. I don't like to dwell on things too much, especially things I cannot change, but yesterday I picked her up and tried to make her laugh in the middle of a tantrum and there was no trace of that sweet baby smell on her skin. I'm in mourning. Is this why people baby their last ones even when the years of babyhood are long gone?

I don't like to call my kids names. But I uttered that she was a STINKER more than I should've yesterday. My Christian, conscientious children, reminded me that I shouldn't say that. Alas, she is still a little STINKER. Pouting constantly, refusing to do most of anything with my help... I know I'm not alone in this so I'll stop there, I know you've caught my drift. (What does that mean anyway? What's a drift and why do we want to catch it? Weird. )
BTW. I started using Picasa and I'm LOVING it. That's how I did this lovely collage. I love being organized. Maybe a little too much sometimes.

    How come it is that stinkers can smell so sweet. And look so cute. That is the mother mystery of life.

    So cute Kimi

    Those are some cute pictures! I know a way you can get back that sweet baby smell- have another one! :) My little stinker is going through a rough phase right now too. He tells me he's going to run away every day. Sigh.

    Thanks for the tip on Picasa. I've been wondering how people do this. :)

    According to a Discovery Health segment that baby smell is caused by a type of sebum that makes babies so fun to kiss and humans love this stuff so much so that when a baby quits producing the sebum it makes their parents want to have more babies so they can still get that sebum high. I guess it triggers andorphines in adults? Too much information huh. I love health shows. sorry

    In my opinion though it is just that they are so darling and she is a cutie. I LOVE how you have regular family pictures. Your posterity will love you!

    Thanks for your tender comment on my Mom post. I think of you often as I know exactly what you are going through. Even through all the pain, focus on the tender moments that will come just because the situation forces us to express things we wouldn't normally take the time to.

    You always have to look for the silver lining as they say.

    Love,Tami
