seven
lucky number seven.
my girl.
i love her with this amazing force I didn't know existed.
she pushes every button I have...
she makes me better.
she humbles me.
and challenges me.
she dances.
she thinks.
she chases butterflies...
sparkly things.
dreams.
she is honest.
with a biting wit.
and a heart
that loves completely.
she is dramatic.
the leader.
the diva.
the queen.
she is seven
and seventeen.
she desperately wants to be...
so many things
and already
is more than she imagines.
she is beautiful
and smart.
strong
amazing
and
vulnerable.
she is my heart.
my reason.
my girl.

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.
