Hey there. Be sure to go visit my wonderful friends at Dayspring (In)Courage today! I have a little Valentine letter to you over there today and tomorrow. It goes something like this: Some days the Mama in us is a wee tired and the time for naps is gloriously anticipated….
At the first of this year,in lieu of Tuesday, Thursday became Bible study day as part of my weekly schedule . Â I’m so thankful for the opportunity to attend during the day while my older kids are at school, my husband is at work, and the study provides childcare for…
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. Â Since I have three kids in Upward basketball, I watched this video three times this weekend….and cried. every. time. Â I know I’m a softie, but oh the lessons we can learn from our children. Start your week with this one….

We’ve all heard the little fact: Starting an endeavor is much easier than finishing it. And I completely agree. Â 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…
