Lighthouse

Lighthouse

Years ago, we took the kids to the Historic Lighthouse at Ponce Inlet.  My little girls were amazed at the tall and beautiful “princess tower”.  When it came time for us to climb up the spiraling staircase to the top of the 175 foot tall structure, mommy only made it two steps.  There wasn’t enough room in this tiny tower for my dizzy spells and anxious heart.  I waited outside while my husband took our two young girls a little…

No Place Like Home

No Place Like Home

With life moving at such a fast pace, I am thankful for the opportunity I had this weekend to bring my girls to a little place called Coffeyville, Kansas.

It’s a crazy-looking, plastic spork (combination of a fork and spoon), with pipe cleaner arms and glued-on googly eyes.   I had no idea how much I would relate to this silly…

Daddy’s Little Girl

Daddy’s Little Girl

Do you ever think back to being a kid and get flashes of moments in time? I was in middle school and as my birthday approached my daddy took me to the Service Merchandise store to pick out a few things. I remember putting a chalk board and colored chalk in the cart.  As we started to walk by the jewelry counter, I knew what I wanted. It was a “Daddy’s Little Girl” charm I had seen many times before….
