I have a moment. A moment of silence. A moment to sit, reflect, and hear my own thoughts. Typically, I come to this space in the late night hours after foreheads have been kissed a final goodnight and darkness settles over our house. However, at this moment, the sun is casting its brilliant rays through […]
Monday afternoon Chad and his Dad loaded Charlie and Chanelle into the car and headed to one of the most exciting events of the year. . . The Cleveland Auto Show. (Your heart rate just increased, didn’t it?) Unfortunately (she writes sarcastically), since Meadow is a bit young to go, I had to skip the […]
Thanks for stopping in and visiting my blog. I'm sure you and your children will enjoy the pancakes! But it's Friday and I thought you were back to work. How is that after three months away? Feel free to email me privately.
I love you posts and your little "pretty in pink" girl. I feel like I missed motherhood when I read your adventures and I only had two. I was so wrapped up in "doing it right" that I think I missed a lot of the fun of it. hmmmm.
Well, I get to experience the joy of it in your beautifully engaging writing!!
One on one time with your sweet baby, such a treasure! Great photos, but with a subject as beautiful as that, how could they not be great!! Nice work…on the baby and the photos. 🙂ReplyCancel
Beautiful post Summer. I love having a toddler and a 4 month old, but I can completely relate to how special that one-on-one time is, especially with the little one.
Knowing this is our last, makes it beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. Just as it happens during any precious one-on-one time I get, tears came to my eyes reading your post.
Gorgeous photos by the way… and gorgeous baby girl 🙂ReplyCancel
It wasn’t on purpose. I didn’t mean to do it. Really, if you don’t know you are lying can it really be called a lie? I think maybe it was more like ignorance. I just didn’t know. I was oblivious. I mean, if boiling an egg without water didn’t clue me in, and sending my […]
Oh man, how true is this? I am such a perfectionist and lately, well, it's hopeless. I've learned to let it go. Being 'Mama' is more important. 😉ReplyCancel
the TRUTH is that pregnancy brain or not, you are Uniquely Summer. "happy not to drop the bat" pretty much sums (pun intended) it up! but, this is why i (so many) love you. if you said you had it all together, then i'd really call your bluff.
this was a great post. and you DO have that loving thing down. and THAT is all that matters. the rest is just for laughing purposes and i don't know anyone who can laugh at themselves better than you. : )ReplyCancel

Thank you for being so honest! I will admit some days my house is a mess and I don't have three little ones just two big ones at the moment! One thing I learned 19 years ago when diagnosed with Lupus and then fibromyalgia was that God was telling me it doesn't need to be perfect, I have to listen to my body or am just to exhausted to do anything but hopefully the boys will remember I love them, e en though they had to help more at home. Love is the important thing! Believe me I have Jackie brain:)ReplyCancel
To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute.” — Robert Updegraff Of all the lessons life has thrown my way, one ranks above the […]
I hope you have a great day today, Summer! The sun in shining for you!
(We have a VERY big day here today…on the complete opposite spectrum. I'm very nervous and anxious, so this post is a perfect reminder to me to just relish in each moment and not worry about what's going to happen at 4pm. 🙁 )
Pretty eyes.
beautiful!!!
Gentle eyes!! Just like I remember them.
LOVE!
