Well you have all been there if you have a child(ren). That first one, the joy, the difficulty, the changes in your life. It can all be so overwhelming. This is my outlet, my place to praise, rant, beg for help even. Children are a gift from God, but His gifts are a blessing and sometimes even hard. I am a 30 something Christian mommy to two children - Isabella and Nathanael and wife to Tyler for over 15 years. I have worked outside the home since I was 17 so staying home now with … [Read more...]

Step Aside Tiger Woods
Much to the delight of grandpa and daddy, Isabella has wanted her new golf set two mornings in a row. It has been behind her other toys against the wall, so she cannot grab it. So both mornings she has whined for it, and once I grabbed it and took out the plastic golf balls, she happily hits away at them with the blue putter...Step Aside Tiger Woods! Here Comes I.B.

Merry Christmas!
Well, Christmas is coming to an end. It always comes and goes so fast in my opinion. We had a wonderful day today though! My parents and sister are here and though we tried not to spoil Isabella too much, she did seem to get a lot! I can see why toys easily accumulate.

So everyone had to take their turn pushing her. Which started … [Read more...]

Happy Home
Isabella has decided not to eat any more baby food from the jar. She wants anything we are eating and drinking. Which means she is not eating as "healthy and organic" as I hoped. Do a lot of parents do this? I was so sure that Isabella would only eat the best, healthy, organic food, and now? She is just another average Long family member.

Walking
Isabella has been walking for about 1 1/2 weeks. She doesn't walk far distances yet - only about 5 steps at a time. Seven steps is her all time high. It is so cute because she looks like Frankenstein. We all smile and clap and are so proud to be witnessing her great milestone. She of course, eats it all up, loving the attention. Isabella loves steps and chairs. My mom has two exercise steps (for step aerobics), and she just bought Isabella a small child's plastic chair. Isabella really loves … [Read more...]
