Clown Mia

Wow, this girl is growing FAST!  I am enjoying her so much.  Her beauty, her sense of humor, and her intelligence are already making me worry about the teen years to come;).

She’s the clown of the house.  Being the youngest in a big family must be fostering this attitude she has, but it’s nothing short of A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

She’s been speaking in full sentences for a month or so now… I just must record some of my favorites before I forget –

“I don’t like that Momma”

“Momma, I said I wanna hold you!”

“The guys wanna play Mia?”

(The guys are Skyler, Trendon, Abbie, and Livie)

and then this week —- a new song:

“Woah Woah Woah your boat……ma – willy ma – willy ma -willy ma-willy ma-willy….(she likes the Merrily part the best!)

It’s entirely too much fun being a Momma.  I feel beyond blessed today!

Girl Scout Cookie Results

My little Livie is all sorts of excited!  She exceeded her cookie goal by over 22 boxes!!  Thanks to all my amazing friends and family that helped that happen:)


We will be busy little bees when those cookies come in — delivering all over town!!

Like I Needed Another Hobby

This week I have been absolutely bitten by the bug.


The bug to create something from nothing.


To craft bags, skirts, dresses, aprons, curtains…


pillows, purses, and hair bows…


Yes, the SEWING bug!!!


Abbie received a sewing machine for Christmas and I have had one collecting dust in the master closet for at least 4 years. With her desire to learn to sew I just had to resolve that I needed to learn!


I’ve been blessed to meet some mommas who are incredibly talented and are willing to be extraordinarily patient with a girl like me with 0 creative talent!


Introducing…..my first project:

Don’t look too close at the crooked lines – this was my first crack at it.  Now, I hope to make my 4 beautiful girlies and I a coordinating skirt/dress something or other…  I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Be Inspired: MLK JR Day

The kids are home from school in honor of the remarkable Martin Luther King Jr. who helped facilitate change in our world. One of my most memorable college lectures was by Dr. John Ernst in American Studies, my very first semester of college – ever. I searched this morning, to no avail, for the lecture notes since it’s been 10 years since that class. So though I can’t recall the details, I can recall the inspiration I felt in my heart.

I feel so honored to have such a transformative figure in American history to help teach my children about basic life virtues. 

Violence doesn’t solve anything.

Stand up for what you believe in.

Set your goals high and be diligent to work towards them.

A constant and devoted faith in God can enable you to lead a life that makes a difference.

May his legacy inspire us to stand up for what we believe in and be a positive voice for activism in our communities.

Family, Blessings, Haiti

Lessons From An Ex-Wife: on Momaha

I am now a month into my new role as a Contributing Writer for Momaha.com and I am loving it! It’s a welcome source of expression for me as I can find a much broader audience with the added benefit of being supported by the Omaha World Herald. At this time, there are 11 of us Mommy Bloggers who contribute on our specific day – mine of course is, Sunday! 


My post this week is entitled:  Lessons From An Ex-Wife.  Personal? A little, but from my heart.  Please take a moment to read and share your views (bloggers love nothing more than engaging an audience through comments!!!).  I appreciate your support in this new adventure I am on!!

Gift of Sharing

It’s Girl Scout cookie time again!! Can I hear a HIP, HIP, HORRAY?

What’s even more exciting to me is a new program the Girl Scouts have adopted called, The Gift of Sharing.  This program allows people to purchase cookies to be donated by the troop!  What a great way to give back, even if you aren’t interested in cookies for yourself.

Olivia’s troop has chosen the Omaha Children’s Crisis Center for their charity.  The Children’s Crisis Center provides a safe place for kids who are placed in emergency protective care.  If you choose to purchase a box for The Gift of Sharing – that box of cookies will be delivered to the crisis center to be enjoyed by these children going through such a difficult time.

Message me if you’d like Olivia to call and get your cookie order.  If you don’t order from her, I encourage you to find a troop participating in this program and give back!

Nearly Wordless Wednesday

Last night I was laying in bed thinking about the blog…yea, I’m weird.  Anyway, I realized I am way behind on my picture sharing of the kids.  *SORRY Kentucky family!* Here are some pics from Christmas for your enjoyment…. 🙂

Our attempt of a family shot!  Grandma Carol bought the kids these adorable Christmas outfits—Thank you Grandma!!  The kids LOVE them.  You should have heard Trendon’s commentary on the tie — he is quite dapper I agree:)

What’s better than a silly face shot full of people you love?!?!  Meet my parents & brother!  LOVE THEM.  Sis was back in KY, next time I want a silly shot of all 5 of us!!!

Look:  I really, really did it!  Special shout-out one more time to the most supportive husband in the whole world.  Without him, this would have NEVER happened!!

Christmas at Grandpa Clays!!

Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season!  Ours lasted about 1 month, seriously.  We had some wicked weather in Nebraska which caused Grandma Tucker’s christmas to be postponed til New Years. With another storm on it’s way today I’d predict we’ll have had over 35 inches of snow in 30 days.  I ain’t in Kentucky anymore ya’ll!! 🙂
