Eagle Scout


Some moms are amazing scouters who push their boys through the scout program--helping them achieve the Eagle Award before they are fifteen.  I am not that mom.  I intended to be, but I never seemed to get on top of the program.  So, this Eagle actually did the work on his own and with his troop and dad.  It is true that I encouraged him through the last couple of merit badges and project--but he did it all and has set the standard for my three other sons.  His Court of Honor will remain on my list of 'Best Days' for years to come.  Thank you J.

One of my Favorite Jobs as a Mom


Finding a prom dress that is elegant and modest has proved impossible--so we find the perfect dress and then I get out my sewing machine and try to make it modest.  I am always so proud of how the dress looks and how willing my daughters are to not sell them selves short.  Thank you girls for showing the world you can be lovely and retain your dignity.
