I’m still sick. Still. This is the cold that won’t stop. But, it has stopped me. I’ve taken a break from all things blogging so that I can go to bed each day right after my son goes to bed. I’m hoping that rest will help me get healthy. So far, it hasn’t worked. That…
Aching for Normalcy – #ThinnerThursday
Routine is imperative for any healthy lifestyle. Seriously. And I have been out of routine. I’m sure that fact has been blatantly obvious even here on my blog. Clearly my life is spiralling out of control, if even just a little bit. I am still not feeling back to normal from last week’s illness and now my…
Her September 11th Story
I have to admit, I was angry on September 11th, 2011. I was angry at the media saturation. I was angry at the social media saturation. I was angry that all people were talking about was where they were. I just didn’t care. I was grieving and I didn’t have time for everyone’s sensationalized grief….
Far From Healthy – #ThinnerThursday
I am feeling far from healthy today. In fact, I am feeling very, very sick. So sick that the idea of sitting in front of a computer screen just makes my head want to burst. Hence the lack of blogs. And the lack of comment replies. And this sorry excuse for a Thinner Thursday post….
Just an Ordinary Day
The only thing an estimated due date is good at predicting is when a baby likely won’t be born. Only five percent of babies arrive on their due dates, which means it is usually safe to assume that your baby will be born around that date instead of directly on it. But when a birth never happens,…
Running the Race – #ThinnerThursday
If you would have told me back in the spring what I would accomplish over the summer, I would have shaken my head and told you that you had the wrong person. Me? Run? Run a race? Run two races? You’re crazy. Here’s the thing. I did run. I even ran a race. In fact, I…
Raining on Your Parade
I love it when a friend comes to me and quietly announces her pregnancy. To know that I am trusted to hear this information before many others are learning of the news is an honour. With her I can hope and pray and plan as a little life grows inside of her, not yet ready…
Choosing Elmo
I was so thankful for all the help that was offered to me while I was pregnant with Cameron. Friends and family and people I didn’t even know sent boxes of baby clothes and letters of encouragement. Having a baby has the simultaneous effect of making one feel so frightened and alone and yet laden…
Searching for Words
Becoming a mother is a wonderful thing. All of a sudden a sweet new life creates an abundance of love that colours life from that moment on. Wide eyes, full smiles, bubbly giggles. Helping, teaching, exploring the world through fresh eyes. Being a mother is wonderful. It can also be soul-crushing. Despite filling our lives…
Achievement Unlocked – #ThinnerThursday
Setting goals frightens me. It is always exceptionally easy to want to do something. It is even easier to dream about doing something. As soon as it becomes a goal though, especially a verbalized goal, the plan turns into a foreboding possibility of failure. As soon as a dream transforms into a goal, it will either be accomplished or not….
Welcome
Hooray! You made it! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Announcement posted on miraclesofamily.blogspot.com: I love this blog. I really really do. So many bloggers express the importance of being on WordPress(.org) – of even starting on WordPress(.org) but I vehemently disagree. Blogger is familiar. It is user-friendly and it is customizable. I have used WordPress(.org) on…
