why sidewalk moments?

Why sidewalk moments? Because right now it is in the dead of winter.  Because I'm thinking about warm summer sun and hot pavement and sidewalk chalk.  Because sidewalk chalk is not permanent or lasting.  Because there has to be a place to record all the wonderful, inspiring, horrible, amazing, creative, hilarious, solemn, unorganized, blessed moments of my day.  Life with my family is a book waiting to be written and unfortunately my brain only has the capacity to hold ummm....well, I've already forgot what I ate for dinner, so here it goes....my first attempt at blogging.  Warning:  I have no idea what I'm doing, so I will apologize in advance to you the reader.  This is simply a place to store all the wonderful things my husband does for me because he loves me, all the inspiring moments when my kids are shining for Jesus, all the horrible terrible no good very bad days, all the ways my amazing Lord gets me through those days, all the creative gadgets, drawings, stories, songs, dances, etc.... my kids come up with, all the hilarious times when I laugh so hard I almost pee, all the solemn times when my heart is quiet, still and searching, all the unorganized homeschooling that goes on around here, and mostly a place to remember all the ways God has blessed me with more than I deserve.
