Read More I’m Grateful Today
I’m in a grateful mood today. How about you? It’s a beautiful day in Eastern Iowa. I was able to sleep in a bit this morning and enjoy laying in bed a little longer than normal. But, mostly, I’m grateful that Bennett is on the mend. This is not a sight you want to see.…
Read More Our Vacation to Michigan
Slowly, I am getting back into some sort of a routine after being on vacation. It has been nice to take a blogging break and not have to worry about getting a post written every day. I haven’t written a book review for a few weeks and I have enjoyed that break as well. But,…

Read More Gorkow Family Vacation – Pensacola Beach – 2013
Being on vacation made me realize how often I am with our kids, but not really WITH them. You know what I mean? I am so focused on the next thing on my list, the next place to be, event to attend, etc that I have been missing out on conversations, fun times, and memories.…
Read More Happy Birthday Benny!
Yesterday our middle child turned 12. I remember going into labor with him like it was yesterday. For some reason, his sticks in my mind the most. I remember it was one of the hottest weeks of the summer with several 100 degree days. Since I had a 1 year old to try to keep…

Our summer is half over already. It seems like we have barely started. But the kids have been kept pretty busy with baseball, basketball camps, jump rope camp, show choir camp, discovery camp and swimming lessons.
