today she turns four
she loves pink & sparkly
toenail polish
purses
and
shoes
she is high drama
and can turn it on and off like a switch
she has the most animated facial expressions
and the purest heart
she's grumpy upon waking
& loves cinnamon toast
she pushes the cat around in the stroller and craddles it like a baby
she swims like a fish and has no fear
she's a master of the front roll
her ABC's
shapes
colors
and counting
she wants to learn.to.read.
she loves to snuggle
and rub your ear as she falls asleep
she twirls with no regard to who may be watching
she's magic
little miss magic
out of all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
to be blessed with the chance
for her to call me
Momma.
happy birthday, anna-elizabeth
everyday with you is my favorite

The blog formerly known as Kudzu and Koolaid and that was once upon a time called Crafty-ish... it's a mommy blog, a cooking blog, a wordy, rambly spill of thoughts... it's a mess. It's me.
It's me
Welcome to Kudzu and Koolaid.
It's me, Cheri. :)
I'm perpetually 29.
I am considering writing my congressman to have my birthday declared a national holiday (yes, I really like my birthday that much)
I'm was married and I'm a mom.
I've been blogging since 2004.
and it's a full spectrum show around here...there is momma blogging, running blogging, Jesus blogging, food blogging, crafty blogging, cancer blogging and sometimes I really kick up the excitement and snap a picture of my latest fingernail polish shade. :D
I have met some incredible people via my ''magic box''.
I love to read.
I love to crochet.
I'm a runner.
Coffee makes me happy.
Really happy.
My kids amaze me.
They are more than I ever deserved.
I have four of them and I homeschool.
I prefer a neatly presented package--but am learning that life is more about messy wrapping and lots of scotch tape.
I am flawed. I make lots of mistakes. I question a lot of things-often.
I don't always feel like it makes sense.
But God always does & I'm learning to just trust Him and swim around in the grace He extends.
In June of 2012, my then ex husband Donald, was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer with mets to his liver. He had exactly zero warning signs. He is forty-three. He is currently undergoing chemo treatments via a chest port every two weeks. He will have chemo for the rest of his life.
There were reasons for our divorce and a cancer dx did not magically make those go away. But God has a plan, greater than any I would create and far different than I ever imagined. This is God making beauty from ashes.
This is my journey. Thanks for being here.
