My Moving Story: Entry 3
March 9, 2010Moving to the country with the beautiful scenery, peaceful quiet, and lots of space for the kids to run and explore is why we moved from the suburbia. This is a good move for us, however it is not without inconveniences. The day that we signed our papers, last Tuesday, we tried to get settled into our home. I was cleaning the kids’ bathtub when... --more
My Moving Story: Part 2
March 5, 2010Well, life has changed plenty since I wrote the last entry on my moving story.

Daddy went outside first to start the snowblowing, if you have a snowblower, you know how it just blows the snow right up in your face which is not very kid... --more
My relationship with my Grandma
February 2, 2010My grandma is a dear woman that I adore and admire. I’ve always loved her but when our connection started is when I lost my first baby to a miscarriage. My grandma has 3 babies in heaven and she has always talked about them. I never understood why she would talk about them, I always felt uneasy hearing her mention them and almost wish she hadn’t.... --more
Beginning of Cindy’s Corner: my personal blog
January 30, 2010I began blogging days after my son, Elijah was born, I recorded every single thing he did, every tiny change, and how I felt as his mommy. I blogged in an attempt to preserve precious moments that I knew I would never get back. I wanted to remember every single joy that he gave me and my husband. Once my daughter, Elizabeth was born, I diligently blogged... --more
