Baby McKenzie is home. She is banged up, bruised, and swollen, but she is with her family, comforted in her mother’s arms.
Some of the financial support you all are so graciously providing has is already getting to the family. Lani wanted me to let you all know how deeply thankful she and her family are [...]
Blogging is not a common thing in my neck of the woods. We have a few that I really enjoy – Chris Cree, Anne Hart, The Paragon Muse, and Creative Coast are my most visited. But, blogging is still cutting edge, so, many folks don’t “get” blogging.
If they had seen what happened around here this week – they [...]
Lani has been here at The Chaos for a brief time. But before that, she was my friend. During that time, she has become one of my best friends, my closest confidant, and you guys seem to like her being here too.
I usually write the way I talk…but I have no words…
Lani’s wonderful baby brother [...]

Each Saturday, my husband and I head to mass because we’re both hard wired to sleep in on Sundays. Well, sleep in until 7:30am at least. Recently, I began taking RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) to become officially Catholic. [...]
Big Thanks to Todd Carpenter over at Blog Fiesta for inviting Lani and I to come over and play. Todd has been interviewing bloggers in the real estate and mortgage industry for a while. He has built up quite the list.
In a small twist, Todd didn’t do the interviews. He let us interview each other. [...]
Topic of parenting came up. Surprise, I know. But, the topic was “Make a Difference.” Really, what did you think I would write about?

It is a rare thing for me to wake a sleeping baby. I have been blessed with big, healthy newborns. I will check on them if they have been sleeping a while – but I don’t wake them up. Not for a schedule, not for a meal. I sleep when they [...]
The size of this day is almost too much. One almost cannot even begin to comprehend it when taken in its entirety. I won’t even attempt it. I honor of all those affected by that day, I want to thank those that impacted my life directly.
I have told the story about where I was. This [...]

Liz has done it again! How that brain of her’s comes up with these things is beyond me. But I am so glad it does and I am especially glad I get to play.
Ok, so the game is simple.
Liz wrote a story with bunches of blanks.
Fill in the blanks with a blogger name, title, post [...]
I get hundreds of forwards from my stepmother, my kids, and my prayer group at church and not only do I usually delete them, I never ever pass them on. BUT, this happens to be an exception. Remember- I did not write this, but DANG if I didn’t need to read this today! Regardless of [...]
Leave it to Craig Harper to come up with an “in your face” challenge that my nature just cannot turn away from. Get Yer S**t Together kicks off tomorrow.
I will admit to thinking, “Who really needs to participate in another bloggy challenge?” Then I opened my feed reader yesterday (blasted thing). There’s David Zinger over [...]
