I just realized that it has been over a year since we have started this blog, yet another reminder of how fast time is slipping away.  Every single day, I am grateful for the gift of being a mom.  It is truly a gift from God, I am also reminded daily that being a parent…

It’s hard to believe that Easter is over, it seems just yesterday I was thinking, it’s going to be a while before Easter and here we are, almost in May.  What a precious holiday it is.  Somehow Easter is represented by bunnies and eggs, when it’s truly about Christ paying the price for our selfishness,…

Since Easter is coming up, I decided to bake something different than I usually do and what I came up with were the cookies from my childhood.  Our mamysya made these for Oleg and I when we were little and we just loved them.  I had a special baking form brought from Ukraine and spent…

Somehow, I have managed to go to Napa two weekends in a row- definitely something I have not done before, but I can easily say I enjoyed it to the fullest.  Each trip was very different as one of them happened with Bella and one without.  At first it was a spontaneous idea which turned…

I can’t believe Ezra is one, it seems only yesterday we got a text message, that Ezra was born after a very challenging labor.  We praised God that everything went well enough that everyone made it and recovered quickly.  Today, Ezra is a huge blessing to his parents, crawling around and smiling from time to…

I would have never imagined that time would fly so fast, it seems only yesterday I met my precious daughter for the first time.  It’s amazing how vivid that day is to me, I remember every detail, from beginning to the end.  God’s creation takes my breath away every day, to have a living soul…

As I sit here and reminisce on the past year, I am overwhelmed with love and gratitude to my one and only God!  He has blessed us beyond our understanding.  We started off our year at home lifting glasses with apple cider to the new 2010, wondering and hoping to meet our precious new life,…

Christ is born!  Praise Him! Christmas is by far my favorite holiday.  What a joyous event to celebrate, the birth of our Jesus, the Savior born in the manger, oh how I wish I was one of the shepherds to be there when the angel appeared to tell them great news.  What an honor for…
