“Every true cross-bearer learns to carry his cross as if it were an ornament rather than a burden, and finds after a time that it carries him. It gives more strength to him than he gives to it.” - Mrs. Charles Cowman The other day a dear friend texted me this quote. I haven’t been [...]
It hasn’t really felt like Black Friday today. Maybe because instead of getting up at the crack of dawn to fight crowds and parking spaces and stand in lines that barely move, I was hauling little man from his bed to ours. He usually walks over to us, sometime around 4-5 in the morning (and [...]
I can’t quite put my finger on it (seriously, I’ve tried) but Christmas just didn’t FEEL like Christmas. That is until Christmas Eve. I was wrapping gifts for my side of the family, as we (Pete, Bubby & I) had opened and exchanged gifts Christmas Eve morning because we knew Christmas Day would be full [...]
I will hold my daughter, my first born child again. Without the tubes. Without the beeping machines going off every five minutes. Without the frustrated looks on the doctors. Because He came… I have peace that floods my soul more deeply than the sadness does. Because He came… I have found joy. Because He came… [...]
This post may seem a tad reeediculous if you have never lost a child. But it is what it is. Sometimes going to see Jenna at the cemetery is still hard, and sometimes it’s something my heart NEEDS to do. About a week or so ago, Amy and I went to see our girls. Nevaeh [...]

This past summer Hobby Lobby had a blowout sale on these fabulous cast iron hangers. They were something ridiculous like 60 cents. So I grabbed five. Because five is the number that I default to. It’s a Jenna thing- she was born 5-5, her first and middle name have five letters in them… :) Anyhoo… [...]
The 12 days… was aaaaamazzing!!!!!!! How beautiful were all those ideas!!? And the stories… It was so encouraging to hear from other baby lost mothers that it did help. It made it all worth it. Times A MILLION. If you took part in any of the projects from the 12 Days of Christmas With You [...]

Today Lesley is sharing her inspiring words on how she dealt with Christmas the first year without her daughter, while she still had two children at home. I cannot imagine how divided this must be but I am so glad that she has shared her story here. I hope it brings peace and hope to [...]

I am actually kind of sad that these 12 days are coming to a close, but I do hope they have ministered to your heart, and maybe given you an idea or two that you can relate to, to remember your child(ren) in Heaven this Christmas. Anyway right now it’s just me on the blog, [...]
