Want to go on a coffee date?

If we were going to go on a coffee date today ...

I would have to apologize for still wearing my pajamas and slippers.

I would tell you to be careful as you walked in the door because I have been doing laundry and four baskets are sitting on the floor.

I would offer you a coffee while I drank both coffee and water. I need to increase my milk supply.

I would encourage you to talk to Little Miss because "talking" is her favorite.

She may fall asleep while you are here on a blanket her great grandma Dee made for her daddy when he was 10.

I would tell you that Christmas is always difficult each year when money is tight and your children want really big gifts.

I would ask you if there is anything you would like me to pray for you this week.

I would ask you to tell me your story.

I would thank you for spending time with me because being a stay at home Mom can be lonely sometimes.

I would ask you to come back because I enjoy your company.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! As my new year resolution I wanted to start a blog. I think blogs are an amazing way to keep everyone up to date on my everyday life and to keep track of the year. Jacob and I are doing well. We had a wonderful year. Nothing extraordinary but wonderful none the less. We started going back to church which has been such a great journey. God really opens doors and changes lives. Jacob is in Kindergarten and will be 6 years old in February. I am 27 years old and am dating an amazing man Dan. He has a little boy, Christian, who is 6 and such a good companion and friend for Jacob. They have been a God send for us. We are happy and healthy. Jacob, Dan, Christian, and myself spent a wonderful night in for New Years Eve. At midnight Dan and I toasted with champagne and the little boys toasted with sparkling cider. It was a magical night and a wonderful start to the new year.
