I was thinking of writing a letter to my husband for Valentine’s Day. The letter would be lovey and sweet, proclaiming all the things in my heart for him and feeling free enough to shout it out to the world. After all, we have such fun together and our family…
I just have to share this one with you. Since I have three kids in Upward basketball, I watched this video three times this weekend….and cried. every. time. I know I’m a softie, but oh the lessons we can learn from our children. Start your week with this one….
Please tell me that I am not the only parent who sees their child’s crying face and is immediately taken back to that moment in the delivery room. A precious face, all wrinkled, eyes squinting. The redness… and white pasty skin… and open mouth. The crazy resemblance of mommy and…
Morning! The blog underwent a mini-facelift last night! What do you think? 😉 Remember that rule your mother gave you… If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all? 🙂 Thanks so much for all the support on the blog. With all my heart, I love writing…
When January rolls around, instead of saving or pitching the Christmas cards we received, our family keeps them in a basket and pulls one out each night at dinner. We pray for the people who sent the card and it’s a great way to remind ourselves to pray for others!…

We’ve all heard the little fact: Starting an endeavor is much easier than finishing it. And I completely agree. Reflection on this topic, however, brought me to the premise that really…. Finishing is easier than we think; it’s the center, the uninteresting middle ground, that most often prevents success. Now…
Up front, personally, this isn’t the topic I would choose to write about. No, not at all. But apparently after the last post, What Not to Wear to Church,went crazy and beat the viewer record for the blog, well, God is up to something bigger than me. Now I was…
In January 2008, I had this wild idea to run with my husband. News flash, People: Just because you are thin doesn’t mean you are IN SHAPE! So run I did. I stunk at it, but I did it. On April 26, 2008, Matt and I ran the Country Music…
I really think the most unforgettable line in “Princess Bride” is when the minister is droning on and on and finally says in an uptone swing “Wuv…twue wuv….” So how about your twue wuv? Why am I bringing this up now? Valentine’s Day is not for another month. And that’s…
So I can’t help myself…I admit it. I’m a people watcher. And tonight at the gym, I was thinking about the similarities between members… at the gym and at church. Drum roll please: 10. Both gym members and church members administer a faux smile until they get past the…
