A fellow Mommy Blogger Lyn shared this video on facebook yesterday. I teared watching it. On too many mornings, my fuse has been short, my temper great and my words harsh.

I have so much, so much to be thankful for and by God's grace, I will see myself transformed in a new light. A New Perspective For Moms … [Read more...]

For Daddy, the day has arrived much faster than he had expected - being able to duet with his precious princess. I believe his heart must have swelled twice its capacity that … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday: We can Hadouken!
Inspired by the video game 'Street Fighter', Hadouken (波動拳) is the latest viral internet trend that started with schoolgirls in Japan, but has since taken on a life of its own (Source).

After last Wed's 'ZeroToTen' Camwhore Experiment, the same group of SMB friends decided that we should challenge ourselves … [Read more...]
