My daughter is a priceless treasure. I am thankful for her smile, her sweet giggle, and her amicable nature. I love her tiny little pig tails and the way she proudly shows them off to her brothers. I love the way she wants to show daddy her cute little dresses. I love how she carries…

I deleted Facebook applications from my iPhone and my iPad for several days. I felt my spirit needed a break. My break only lasted a few days and that’s okay. All I needed was a few days. A few days to realize a few VERY important things. 1.) {EVERYTHING IN MODERATION} goes for Facebook, too!…

I’ve decided to delete my Facebook apps. Those of you who know me personally, know that I am a true advocate of Facebook. I have friends all over the globe and Facebook allows me to keep in touch. Lately, for whatever reason, I’ve been feeling “blah”. I haven’t been able to pinpoint what is causing…

This morning, I am lying in bed, the house filled with the sound of pure silence and my husband (the worlds best daddy) is quietly playing with the children somewhere in this house. He thinks he’s letting me sleep in (which is the SWEETEST thing in the world), but I am wide awake contemplating life.…

Feisty little red-head boy… His birth completely changed our worlds. We were young… Supposedly adults. This child forced us to second guess our maturity. Long nights… With little or no sleep. Tantrums… Made me question my own sanity. Kind hearted women… Said, “Cherish these days… They’ll be gone before you know it!” All the while,…

In the direction of that big yellow school bus. Transportation to get you where you need to go. Out into the big world. Independence Blvd. That’s the…

My husband has been teaching in China for a little over four weeks. We have 12 more days until he will be home. Lessons I’ve learned from my six week stent of single parenting. 1. Dads are needed! Despite what the world teaches about men being useless and continually making men out to be dumb……

My oldest two boys were all signed up and ready to begin packing for camp. However, something inside my spirit didn’t feel right about them going to camp. I couldn’t pin point and particular reason, however the feeling wouldn’t let up. My husband is teaching abroad in China for six weeks and we all miss…

I’m frustrated. You thinking… Wow… Not like Crystal to blog about something negative or out of frustration? Let me clarify: I’m not saying I never feel negative or frustrated, just ask my husband and children. However, right now I have a bone to pick. Usually, I decide to wait until my frustration passes but right…

Everyone has bad days. Today was one of my “bad days”. I opened my eyes and felt the nasty pang “I’m going to cry!” Went to church… All in attempt to serve God… And feel better. Yet… I escaped to the ladies room to secretly wipe away the unwanted drops of emotion. The last thing…
