Organized Chaos: Coming up for air...
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2013/11/coming-up-for-air.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Coming up for air. I've been drowning these past few weeks. drowning in worry and anxiety about my kids, in work, in sickness, and in stress. Addison is getting over her cold {although if you ask her, she will still tell you she is, "SO SICK! She got the call today. One out of the gray. And when the smoke cleared. It took her breath away. She said she didn't believe. It could happen to me.

Organized Chaos: Afraid to sleep...
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2013/11/afraid-to-sleep.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Wednesday, November 13, 2013. When I lay in bed, I worry. I know that's when I'm supposed to pray, to lean on the Lord. but a lot of the time I worry. Or worse, I Google. Cohen's hearing appointment is tomorrow. I'm so scared and I'm forced to go alone because Derek is in an audit. What if the diagnosis is not what I want? What if my son can't understand my voice when I tell him I love him? Two years since I looked.

Organized Chaos: January 2015
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Friday, January 2, 2015. Day 2 of 2015 and I come down with pink eye of all things. I am just thankful that I have a cabinet full of doTERRA and am able to treat this kind of thing without the hassle and expense of heading to the doctor and being told it's a virus and I'll just have to wait it out. Links to this post. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Carve out time each day to read scripture and pray. Develop lessons around ...

Organized Chaos: Goodbye...
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2011/03/goodbye.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Saturday, March 12, 2011. My grandma died today. I used to think that my grandma was invincible - when I was little she would take me camping, we'd go for walks to feed the horses down the road, I played in their amazing maze of a yard and even though she was my grandma, she never seemed old. I miss my grandma. and whether it's from here on my computer or next to her headstone, I suppose she knows that and that. Today ...

Organized Chaos: Organized Chaos
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2015/01/organized-chaos.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Thursday, January 1, 2015. If there is an accurate description of my life, 'organized chaos' would be it. 2013 was the year I lost my dad. My world was dominated by grief and loss - I couldn't write about it. I couldn't talk about it. I was consumed. Carve out time each day to read scripture and pray. Continue to find time each week to be a part of youth group. Make a more focused effort to connect with the kids. Stick...

Organized Chaos: There will be no more babies...
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2012/12/there-will-be-no-more-babies.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Friday, December 28, 2012. There will be no more babies. Last week I sold Cohen's bassinet. I have been slowly selling off Addison's baby clothes and gear for the past couple of months now and as I got down to the end, some of Cohen's stuff started making it into the mix. I don't know what it was about that bassinet that triggered the landslide of emotions but with that transaction, it really hit home. Now, youll notic...

Organized Chaos: Written in ink.
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2010/07/written-in-ink.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Thursday, July 22, 2010. I got a tattoo on Tuesday. I got Addison's first and middle names tattooed on the inside of my right foot along with the symbol for the bond between mother and daughter. It hurt. Badly. It was worth it. July 23, 2010 at 4:17 AM. I'm a full-time mummy. July 26, 2010 at 8:27 AM. Hopping over from Completely Eclipsed and congrats on being featured! Your baby is so beautiful! May 18, 2011 at 1:36 PM.

Organized Chaos: Day 5...
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2013/11/day-5.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Today was hard. preschool days are always hard. What I'm learning from this challenge. Is less about yelling and more about triggers. Addison's triggers and my own. Days where the schedule changes unexpectedly. Anything involving managing two small children in a large hospital. Plus lack of sleep, lack of caffeine, stress at work, sick children, a sick husband. Now, without the challenge I...

Organized Chaos: My Dad, My Hero
http://derekandstefani.blogspot.com/2013/11/my-dad-my-hero.html
This is my journey - as a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a soul saved by His grace alone. Monday, November 11, 2013. My Dad, My Hero. I've had this in my drafts for a while, it's what I read at my dad's memorial. I figured Veteran's Day was an appropriate day to post it because it focuses on how he had always been my hero. it brings back sad memories to read over these words again. I miss him so much. He looked at me very seriously and said, "Then it was worth it - every penny.". I got a tattoo on Tuesday&#...
