I'd Love To...If I Can Find A Sitter
Life is stressful enough without having to juggle a dozen things and still worry about finding a sitter.

Do You See?
"See what you have to look forward to now?"
The whisper in my ear made my smile widen. It was Dec. 10th and we were on our first outing with our new baby. She was only 10 days old, but we braved the frigid Yukon winter to attend the Christmas pageant at a small mission church.
I knew the service wouldn't... >Read More

It’s been several years now, but I can still clearly picture the day I found out my teenage daughter was pregnant. I remember her standing in the kitchen saying, “Mom, embrace it!” My initial response to Amber’s words were, “Yeah, right, that’s easy for...... >Read More

"Is this your first baby?", "Is this your last?", "When are you due?", "Are you sure you're not having a litter?", "Did I ever tell you about my ninety-three-hour labor?".
