My photo
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.

What's in a name?

When I was in Elementary School kids called me Kimi. Family called me Kimi Sue. Since my mom died, "Kimi" feels like home. At her funeral I saw so many people that I love and have known since my childhood, they called me Kimi. Several years ago I would've been annoyed. Not now. In fact, when Jeff calls me Kimi, I LOVE it.

Fur Elise is "Kimi" for sure. I played that song over and over while I made my sisters dance like ballerinas. I wore the song out.

"I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston is "Kimi".

Day to Night Barbie, my first Barbie, is "Kimi" too.


When I look at this picture, I think Kimi. If you notice, she is smiling. I had just told her how much I loved it when she rubbed my temples, and that I'd always remember her when it was done to me or I did it to my children. I told her how much I loved her. I told her that mothering me was one of her greatest accomplishments.


I miss her.

    Very tender photo Kim/Kimi. I'm sorry your mom / my great-aunt Chris passed away.

    I'm grateful to know that she's in a happier place with friends and family who love her and are excited to see us as well!

    Thank God for eternal families!!!

    This is such a sweet picture, so full of emotion. I'm sure she misses you every bit as much as you do her. And Kimi it is. . .
