Haskamp Holla: One of the Best Things...
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2013/03/one-of-best-things.html
Saturday, March 30, 2013. One of the Best Things. One of the best things about being a mom is that I have a real-life duplicate. Of myself. It makes me jump for joy because it's something I have always dreamt about. Even though I had a lot of time with these kids, I would never have as much influence on them as their parents did. At the end of the day, it was Mom and Dad whose arms those kids were jumping into, not Mrs. Haskamp's. And now, when Millie sees or finds a loose hair, she shakes it off into th...

Haskamp Holla: May 2012
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. The Boob Chronicles: A Recollection. I almost thought breastfeeding wasn't going to happen for Amelia and me, especially after the terrible start that we had. But, after a few months, I really found my groove with it. The biggest kicker of the whole thing was how hard I (I mean WE! If we have another baby, will I breastfeed again? I crack myself up. Today is officially my first day of summer break. (Don't you like our new magnets? Ben's dad gave them to Millie this weekend when we...

Haskamp Holla: Come Spring
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2013/03/come-spring.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Last Friday was a beautiful day, and we finally got out of the house and into the back yard. Ben fired up the grill, and we invited some friends over for a last-minute barbecue. And that's when it hit me. We have unexplored territory! I hadn't realized how much more living space our yard is going to provide for us. We knew when we moved into this house in the dead of winter that it was going to be a while before we would be able to enjoy the yard. Kind of present.). March 20, 201...

Haskamp Holla: July 2012
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. These are the only two pieces left of my birthday cake. I forgot to take a picture before we devoured it. It read, "Happy Birthday Norman and Missy". My father-in-law's birthday was on Sunday, so we got to celebrate together. Just like my niece Kate's party sign, ringing in 32 was.AWESOME. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. My Day at the Airport. I parked in the economy lot and took a picture of where I was so I wouldn't forget when I came back on Friday. And the flight is full. I wait a fe...

Haskamp Holla: Finally...Our New House
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2012/11/finallyour-new-house.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. Finally.Our New House. So, I've been wanting to show you our new house. I wrote a draft for a blog I wanted to post several weeks ago, about how we always knew in our hearts that this was going to be our house, and we had total peace about it, and if you just listen to what God is telling you to do, you will also have peace. Oy, oy oy. All of our things are just staring me in the face going, "Are you going to pack me up or what? So, do you want to see a picture of our new house?

Haskamp Holla: Marriage is Hard - an Offering
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2013/03/marriage-is-hard-offering.html
Thursday, March 7, 2013. Marriage is Hard - an Offering. I see some young girls around the school where I work who are prepping for their weddings. They post pictures of parties and talk of honeymoons and dream out loud of the blessed lives ahead of them. And I think it is wonderful. And then there is us. And we are getting older, and we are parents. And all of that young love stuff has morphed into something new that is made of the same stuff, yet is sometimes unrecognizable. And "Listen to Hey Ho?

Haskamp Holla: March 2012
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Imagine a store where you work. It's a GREAT store. It has all of the latest gadgets. You are so excited to work there. The customers are AMAZING. Every time they come in the door, they challenge you with really hard questions. When you are at the store, you feel like you are exactly in the place you are meant to be. That's kind of like comparing a high-quality product and a cheaply made product in the store and telling a customer that they are both exactly the same! Cheerwine....

Haskamp Holla: Our New House
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2013/02/our-new-house.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Are you still reading? Folks, it's been three months since I've blogged. THREE MONTHS! I just tried to log on and FORGOT MY PASSWORD, it's been so long. We moved, and things just got well.crazy. Then, our house got broken into, about three weeks after moving in. WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, right? So, instead of excitedly sharing our new place with you (are you still out there? I stalled in a computer-less, robbed state and got stuck there. February 28, 2013 at 10:00 AM. SHOUT...

Haskamp Holla: April 2012
http://missyhaskamp.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Conversations from the Bathroom. SETTING: BEN IS AT THE SINK IN OUR GUEST BATHROOM, AND I AM GETTING IN THE SHOWER. ME: I'm so glad we don't have to get ready in a bathroom this small every day. BEN: Yeah, but it would be okay. ME: Why do you have to be so positive all the time? BEN: It's just my nature. ME: Well, it's kind of annoying. ME: (laughing hysterically in the shower). Sunday, April 29, 2012. She liked one of them so much that she decided to break it and eat the little p...
