The Day a Mouse Drove Me Crazy

Posted by: Sarah on: February 28, 2011

When I was a child, my mom introduced me to Angelina Ballerina. The first book is Angelina and Alice; a precious story about two mice who are dancers and best friends. I remember loving it. A few weeks back, while at the library, I thought Julia might like Angelina and Alice, so we borrowed the [...]

Wanna Bag ‘O Grace?

Posted by: Sarah on: February 24, 2011

If you drive through any major intersection in Austin you will notice one thing: homeless people. Standing along the road with signs, begging for food or money. Rain or shine, they are always there. In fact, one of the best know Austinites is homeless – his name is Leslie. He’s even run for mayor. The [...]

Half Marathon Training Guide, Part 4 – The Finish

Posted by: Sarah on: February 23, 2011

While I originally only planned for my series to be three parts, I thought you’d all like to know how my half marathon went last weekend. In a nut shell it was awesome. Before arriving, I was so incredibly nervous I thought for sure I was going to loose my breakfast. I was snapping at [...]

Fun Facts about Sarah

Posted by: Sarah on: February 22, 2011

This weekend, Jonathan and I were discussing fun facts about ourselves. You know, those completely random aspects of your life that people probably don’t know about. I thought today, for a laugh, I’d share some of mine. 1. I went by Liz when I first moved to Texas in 2000. {Elizabeth is my middle name.} [...]

To Whom Would We Go But Christ?

Posted by: Sarah on: February 21, 2011

Last week I was reading through the book of John, when these verses jumped out at me: At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go?* You have the words that give [...]

Dating My Husband Like I’m a Teenager

Posted by: Sarah on: February 17, 2011

Jonathan and I went on our first real “grown up” date Tuesday night. By “grown up” I mean, our sitters {lifelong friend Melinda and her husband Preston} were in control over evening activities and bedtime. Aside from our anniversary trip, we’ve never had someone else put the girls down for bed {read: we’ve never had [...]

Half Marathon Training Guide, Part 3 – The Emotional

Posted by: Sarah on: February 16, 2011

I cried when I finished my half marathon last April. Well, I suppose I didn’t technically cry, since I was borderline dehydrated. But I did cry out. The last mile of my run was overwhelmingly emotional. A mixture of victory and defeat {I walked mile 11 when I wanted to run the entire race}. A [...]

Valentine Surprises

Posted by: Sarah on: February 15, 2011

Usually Jonathan and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, since neither of us are big fan on the holiday. However, this year we decided to “celebrate”. I say celebrate loosely, because we didn’t go out last night, we didn’t even really acknowledge the day beyond a nice family dinner. But, there were some unexpected surprises that [...]

My Heart Flutters

Posted by: Sarah on: February 11, 2011

Here’s this week’s Friday joy: {You might not notice, but H has cover up all over her lips – she really like putting on make up with me } What’s your Friday joy? I’d love to hear it!

I Was Meant to be a 1950′s Housewife

Posted by: Sarah on: February 10, 2011

Since I can remember, I have been convinced I was born in the wrong decade. The signs were all there: I’d rather listen to Nat King Cole than Nirvana. At fourteen. I’d rather watch An Affair to Remember than Titanic. {I mean, who passes up Cary Grant for Leo?}. I was completely different than most [...]
