I am definitely a believer that big things happen in small steps. We just had what would be a small milestone for many families, but a HUGE deal in our house. Calvin turned 2 yesterday! We've waited a long 4 years & 3 months to have a 2 year-old. Our first! I know that many moms dread the impending possibility of terrible 2's, but I say, BRING 'EM ON! We're sure to experience some hiccups in Cal's...

I am overwhelmed with the Ducky E-Newsletter I am working on this week. I just can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that the Ducky Dash actually came & went. We had a great day, but HOLY MOLY it was a lot of Duck! There are so many people to thank, but I believe that the Shaeffer/Nolan family reigns supreme as the lead ducks. Thank you so much for making Ducky Dash a success. They made all o...

I am not complaining about the heat...I am not complaining about the heat...really, I'm not. I LOVE summer. Heat & all! It seems that there is a positive energy in the air & I LIKE it! This morning I was invited to speak at the Berks-Mont Business Association's monthly breakfast meeting. It was a nice experience. Their membership is embarking on a project to help support local & national charitabl...

I am definitely a bandwagoner when it comes to my love for the month of July. I have to say that this year has rekindled that deep love for this wonderful summer month. While I feel myself having some serious pangs of sadness as I think of what my life might be like with all 3 kids in tow, I am also rejuvenated by the warm summer weather, ample sunshine & REALLY long to-do lists. Most of my days a...

Last night I read a speech that I wrote expressing my experience as a caregiver for Avery & Nolan through their cancer battles. Usually I can pull off a speech pretty easily with a few notes, but this time was definitely a READER. It's tough to talk about myself. The stories of Avery & Nolan come easier because I think of them so often & share them regularly. Think about me? Talk about me? Well, ...

These past 2 weeks have been incredibly stressful. I find myself embracing the stress as it feels so familiar & brings me back to those beautifully horrible days with my sick babies. I am still working so hard in allowing myself to experience greatness. I fear good news, things that are too easy & letting my guard down. It will happen though, I am determined. We're doing well this month with our P...

I have not been blogging lately. None of the reasons that I have been dealt have anything to do with my beliefs & feelings, so I am back to blogging. Bottom line is, I love to write & I have been told that what I write is helpful to many people. What really could get in the way of that? Nothing from now on!My fourth Mother's Day has come & gone. It was a nice day. I was able to see Grandmom, my mo...

I know that it is impossible for anyone to truly understand what it takes for me to accomplish a little bit of healing each day. Everyone grieves in a different way. But, I believe that I am dedicated to surviving the experiences I have been dealt. All of my prior life experiences have molded me into someone who always wants to do MORE. I struggle with my hurt, but I also spend a lot of time think...

SNOW-We are buried under 20 inches (plus) of snow here in PA. This may put a little slowing on the work that needs to be done at Grandmom's. Well, the dumpster is full...of snow! It may be another day yet before we can get the cars out. A snowmobile did make it around the driveway last night. I will give the Jeep a try later today. Jeff cleared it off last night, but it is covered again. The sun b...
