50 Days of Amazing Grace: Days 30 and 31 – It Will Get Better
Yesterday was another "down" day for me. I hate to say this (and I don't want to seem like a terrible mother by doing so) but having the two older kids home with us while caring for a newborn is turning out to be quite challenging (think having to remind them to be careful and … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Days 30 and 31 – It Will Get Better
50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 26 – When You’re Tempted to Despair, Keep Calm and Talk to A Loved One
I have a confession to make: The "strong Tina" that you may have seen these past few days almost crumbled pitifully last night. After spending almost the whole day walking to and from our ward to the breastfeeding room and sitting down for hours to nurse Anne, I began to feel tired. And late last … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 26 – When You’re Tempted to Despair, Keep Calm and Talk to A Loved One
50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 25 – God Can Use Your Past to Prepare You for the Future
It's our third day at the hospital. This morning, I posted this on Facebook: "Baby Anne updates (April 24): The Lord really has a sense of humor! 🙂 Anne is undergoing phototherapy for jaundice - most likely due to blood type incompatibility (like Tim when he was a newborn). She's also getting antibiotics because of … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 25 – God Can Use Your Past to Prepare You for the Future
50 Days of Amazing Grace: Days 18, 19, 20 and 21 — Waiting in Hope
I know, I know... It's been almost FOUR whole days since my last 50 Days of Amazing Grace post! And it may have been slightly depressing for some, because I wrote about the Boston Marathon bombing and the horrific Gosnell murder trial. (*shudders*) But the point of that post was to remind all of us … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Days 18, 19, 20 and 21 — Waiting in Hope
50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 17 — The Love for Life and The Need for Prayer {On #Gosnell + #PrayforBoston}
This will be a quick post. I had an OB check-up this morning and my doctor says I'm already 1-2 cm slightly effaced — which basically means I'm already in the early stage of labor! We had a bit of a scare though, when she checked Anne's heartbeat on her Doppler heartbeat monitor, because it … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 17 — The Love for Life and The Need for Prayer {On #Gosnell + #PrayforBoston}
50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 9 — Go the Same Way
A lot of us may already be familiar with this Bible verse (or not, so I'm sharing it with you now): This is especially well-known among homeschoolers and sort of serves as one of the "guiding verses" for their homeschooling. It is a great reminder to everyone actually, especially parents — even the non-homeschooling ones. … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 9 — Go the Same Way
50 Days of Amazing Grace 2013: Day 4 — Love the Saint Within You
I know I seem to constantly do this in my posts, so please forgive me. But doing this helps remind me of the "ugliness" and reality of my situation — that I am not perfect, I am a sinner, I am in need of amazing grace. So here I am again, "confessing." I've been a really … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace 2013: Day 4 — Love the Saint Within You
50 Days of Amazing Grace Series 2013: Day 2 — Outlast and Outlive Your Problems
Happy, Holy Easter Monday everyone! 🙂 I meant to write this post last night, in time before Easter Sunday "turned into" Easter Monday, but I was just too tired. I think I pushed myself too much preparing our Easter home decor (very simple, actually) and the kids' "treasures" for their Easter Treasure Hunt. Also, my … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace Series 2013: Day 2 — Outlast and Outlive Your Problems
