I’m surprised it hasn’t happened before now. In 15 years of raising a family, Tuesday we had our first: broken bone. Can you believe it? We have a trampoline, scooters,and bikes. Two flights of interior steps, a gymnastics girl and sports galore. Yet tonight had to be the night that…
If miracles could be understood, would they be miraculous? I mean, Jesus asks the disciples for food to feed the five thousand people who had been listening to him speak and all the disciples could come up with was 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish. Basically a can…
Morning! Or afternoon or evening. Ok, enough. Today I’m privileged to write for The MOM Initiative with three quick, practical tips on how I approach large family logistics and meet individual needs. I won’t pretend to have all the answers for you, but these are three sure-fire methods that have…
My wonderful friend, Unveiled Wife, has a gorgeous and practical blog on marriage encouragement. She graciously gave my hubby and me the privilege of posting a little of our story, coupled with a bit of marriage grace and advice on her site today! I hope you will head over to…
Today on The Better Mom, I’ve written a post with my children about 5 ways we have shared our faith at school. We have a Back To School series going on over there and the articles have been fabulous so far! At dinner tonight, our family had a discussion about…

Today I am excited to tell you about a book adventure I’ve been travelling with an author I greatly admire, Mary DeMuth. Mary’s new book, Everything, hits the market in October but I have the awesome privilege of being a part of her launch team-what a spectacular group of…
There are some things I just can’t do. At least not well. Ok, not at all. Rather than delve into all the things I can’t do or have never tried, I thought today would be a great day to salute women everywhere with a wish list of Olympic events. You…
One of the reasons I love blogging is because of all the wonderful people God crosses paths with mine. People I might not get to meet otherwise. They live in other states…or even other countries, at times. My friend, Gina, writes with me on the contributing team at RooMag. She…
This week we’ve been trying to soak up as much sun and pool time as we can. So difficult to believe that school starts back in two weeks! Aghhh! Sorry I screamed in your ear. The pool has been beckoning me; the kids have felt the call too. Taking the…
Morning ya’ll. I’ve been singing Mandisa’s Good Morning song since Saturday morning Women of Faith. You should try it, extremely contagious. 🙂 Today I have the privilege of writing for Candace Cameron Bure’s ezine, Roomag. Love the contributing team over there! The beginning of my article there begins a little…
Suburban living has its perks, no doubt, but I lived my life from birth to age 17 in a house on the hillside. The country town where I grew up has a population of about 2,000, including the suburbs. Only there they aren’t called “suburbs.” They’re called “hollers.” That means…
