mother’s day blessings

May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 mommo6Leave a comment

I am blessed to have a wonderful mom. My mom always sees the best in me, and loves me without conditions. I don’t need a special day to verbalize this, but it is a good reminder not to take important people in my life for granted. If you know me, or have been reading this…… Continue reading mother’s day blessings

today is a good day

May 5, 2020May 5, 2020 mommo6Leave a comment

I’ve been slack when it comes to writing here. I get other things in my head and just get overly focused–at least until I’m distracted by the next thing. That’s why I often forget to document the process of the projects and recipes I share. I decided to go through some posts that I’d started,…… Continue reading today is a good day

I’ve been feeling a little sorry for myself this week. There were a few reasons, but here’s the big one: a new grandlittle that I’ve yet to meet. This sweet girl was born on April Fools Day. source: Naomi Lucienne Photography Being away from my mom, our older kids and grandlittles is not always easy.…… Continue reading easter thoughts and such

busy hands for little ones

March 6, 2017April 25, 2018 mommo61 Comment

I have been madly trying to work on some projects for my new grandlittles. They’ve actually been in the works for some time, but I’ve stalled here and there. A friend mentioned once that she prays for the recipient of the things she makes. I thought that was an awesome idea, and began doing this myself. I…… Continue reading busy hands for little ones

new grandlittles & joy tests

February 7, 2017April 25, 2018 mommo61 Comment

We finished up our Bible Study 101/Psalm 119 study and started a new topic in our Ladies’ Bible Study. We decided to use the Pure Joy Bible Reading Challenge from rachelwojo.com as our springboard. We’ve only done two weeks and my joy has already been put to the test. My Northern boy and his lovely wife just had…… Continue reading new grandlittles & joy tests

summer + family = love

“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything…… Continue reading summer + family = love

AAACCCKKK...Today is a big day! My northern boy and his sweet family are coming to see us. This will be their first trip here and to say I'm excited is definitely an understatement! Needless to say, I doubt you'll be hearing from me for a few weeks, as I savour every possible moment with my… Continue reading special visitors

keepsakes

In my last post I mentioned some favourite memories of my grandparents. Since I’ve been enjoying time with wonderful friends and family, and my amazing kids and grandlittles in particular, I thought I’d share some of the projects I’ve actually completed that I hope will remind my sweet baby boys how much their Gramma loves them.…… Continue reading keepsakes

life with littles

May 20, 2016April 25, 2018 mommo6Leave a comment

We’ve been enjoying life with littles again as we’ve been babysitting our Northern boy’s twins. Living far away means we seldom see them, but it also means that when we do, it’s for a few days at a time. I am very thankful for FaceTime, though, and often wonder how missionaries and others moved from home to…… Continue reading life with littles
