This was not the Christmas I had planned. This was not the year I had planned. So much of this year has been hardship and heartbreak. There are certain things about this year I would love to change. I would love to have all of us 100% healthy. But other things, while hard and unpleasant, I would not change. God used so many things this year to teach me more about grace. I know I have a whole lifetime left of learning about grace, about how to show it, about how to accept it. But … [Read more...]

Staying Frugal Through Life’s Emergencies
This month has been an incredibly tough month. First Abby started having some freaky health issues. Thankfully, manageable and not life threatening. Then I've been having some health issues they can't figure out. (I don't even want to admit how many times I've had to pee in a cup the last 10 days). Then...Matt's car is having major issues. The latest news from the mechanic is that it will cost more to fix it than it is worth. And of course, the wipers on my van like to only work sporadically, … [Read more...]
Toddler Christmas Traditions
So many of my favorite Christmas traditions really didn't matter to Abby when she was younger. She had no interest in making cookies or watching certain Christmas movies. As she is getting older, she is much more interested in Christmas. In fact, at 2 and a half, she is fairly well obsessed with it. It's been so fun to do some fun Christmas things will her. Some things this year may not happen. Like decorating Christmas cookies. Her health issues right now don't allow her to eat them so it … [Read more...]
Thank You
I just want to thank all of you for your patience while I needed to take a blogging break to care for my daughter. We have seen a specialist and have been told that this is a much more common condition than you would think. Still not much information about it out there though. With a case as simple as hers, basically we keep her on the modified BRAT diet to constipate her and ride it out. It should resolve itself in a few months. Most cases are the opposite and caused by constipation not … [Read more...]
Dealing with a Sick Child
I shared on the Logger's Wife Facebook page but I would like to share here as well.We are dealing with a sick child right now. Not, "oh she has a cold" sick. She has been having issues with her stools for one week today and 4 days ago, she had a rectal prolapse.Technically, it is a mucusal prolapse or partial rectal prolapse. Basically, when she poops, a bit of her rectum comes out as well. It goes back in within 15-20 minutes but they don't know why this is happening. We are waiting on some lab … [Read more...]
