Have you ever had a moment when things suddenly make sense? Someone says a phrase that resonances with you to your core and everything becomes clear?
I just had one of those.
From a dog.
I was reading an article about the experiences of Doctor Lissa Rankin while she attempted to promote her book when I noticed a little dog on the left side of the screen offering a “Mojo Tip.”

It's storming.
It’s pouring rain, my lovely little one. I can’t help but wonder, when I finally get to meet you, will you love the rain as much as I do? Will you spend grey afternoons playing with the rain on the windows, looking back at me over your shoulder to see if I’m watching you play your wondrous new game? Will you sit awestruck in my arms and watch the bright flashes of lighting...

Well, I did it...
I just took the first steps towards getting into couponing. I’m not really expecting to pull off the miracles they do on “Extreme Couponing.” (Although, that would be nice.)
I figure we save a few dollars here, a few dollars there and we can do something fun with the money we save!

My little love...
I just wanted to let you know that I still do miss you and I still love you. I think about you all the time. Everything that I do, I do with the knowledge that I’m working towards getting the chance to meet you.

Sometimes I think Justin is a magician. I’ll look in a box for something, not see it, and start tearing the room apart in frustration while he smiles in bed. After letting me vent for a minute or two, he’ll say, “You should probably look in the box again.” Every single time, I stop what I’m doing to stare at him before opening the box and finding what I was looking...

Today is for my mother.
The first, and quite possibly the most, amazing person I ever met was born today fifty-five years ago. I’ve learned so much from her. She taught me how to walk without fear, to speak without hesitation, to laugh from the bottoms of my feet up. She rocked me to sleep, taught me to sing- She made me who I am today and I think she did a bang-up job!
So here’s to you, Mom! You’re...

"I think I saw tomorrow. You missed it when you...
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about our family and our future and the home we’re slowly building together. I just see flashes now and again, but they all have the feeling of being more premonition and less daydreaming. I feel like I’m getting little glimpses into our future.
I see Justin and I in a porch swing, watching the sun set. I can hear the wind blowing through the...
