An uncomfortable nap?

Humble Handmaid

2010 7 Oct

I thought it took Gabriel a while to fall asleep for his afternoon nap today... This picture doesn't really do justice to how funny the scene was when we walked in.

My opinion about opinions

Humble Handmaid

2010 6 Oct

My post today is a blend of recent reflections on humility and the media. Growing up, it seems that the idea of "respecting everyone's opinion" was drilled into my head. as I've gotten a bit older though, I've realized, as we all do I suspect, that I don't have to respect everyone's opinions.

Humble Handmaid

2010 27 Sep

My sweet friend Katie at Let My Soul Flower in Thy Sight recently unearthed an old prayer card when going through some childhood memory boxes. She has some great thoughts on the list on her blog today. One of my thoughts about the list is that these are not The 15 Commandments, but rather some ...

Humble Handmaid

2010 25 Sep

Just when you think you've got a nice little routine...babies pull a new trick out of their onesie! At least that has become something of a parenting doctrine in my (very limited and short) experience of motherhood. Maybe that will change in the future, but not for this child! Every time we get ...
