Five Minute Friday at the Gypsy Mama’s word prompt. Love that girl for helping me stay focused on what I love to do- write. On Fridays, we write for 5 minutes, no take-backs, and link up together. Yep, this is the kind of crazy stuff writers do. And without further…
Pumped all week about Karen Ehman’s hospitality study, I’m excited to share a recipe with you today! My boys are both allergy kids. Tree nuts, peanuts, lemon extract, Dr. Pepper (who knows which of the 23 flavors. ;0) ), and the list could probably go on. Needless to say, I’m…
Can I just begin by telling you that I have one awesome husband who loves God, his family and lives like it? And with that, can I tell you that with all my duties, interests, God-given responsibilities and ummmm, laundry, sometimes…well, way too often, my husband gets placed on… the…
Very interesting study going on over at Karen Ehman’s place beginning TODAY! I am so pleased to take part in this study! I’ll be covering “10 Ways to Love on Families with Special Needs Children” on March 28, 2012. Every day of the study there are some FABULOUS ideas and…
Found myself talking to Monday this morning. Our conversation went something like: Good morning, Monday. How your punctuality is never good timing for me. Our family has been swamped with three kiddos in basketball for the last two months. Three practices a week; three games a weekend. Throw in a…
Five minutes of writing. No edits at the Gypsy Mama’s place. This week’s word: BRAVE. Here we go! The giant stood in the valley, day after day, taunting the Israelites. He asked for a man- one brave enough to fight him. Goliath was not only a Philistine; he was huge….
Today I write…not for you. But for me. I write because I love writing. I write because words are my release and my relaxation. I write because the world needs writers. I write because God gave me the gift to write. I write because I don’t need reasons or issues…
Ok, it wasn’t really a physical prison break of the Alcatraz magnitude. But hang with me for this “Matt in Malawi” story, I know you’ll love it. Upon watching the hours of video coverage my man brought back from Africa, my heart opened to his journey in an unexpected way. Throughout the…
So blessed to write for RooMag today! How does it begin? The gift of words. Phrases. Sentences. Language. You know…. whether the baby says “Mama” or “Dada” first. “Me wanna pay ball, Dada.” “Pease??” Who can resist? Click here to continue reading!
Five Minute Friday. The dare to write for 5 minutes flat without edits. Your heart on the screen in word form, no take-backs. This week’s word: Empty. And my thoughts. I don’t think my mother’s heart can ever imagine what it is like to watch your child die. To stand…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if joy could bottled? I mean, really, carbonated like champagne? To the point of overflowing, popping the lid off with such power that it hits the ceiling. I’d sell it on the blog…with huge success, of course, and my husband could…
Ya’ll know I love to cook, right? Well, when I have time to plan and scheme it out. ;)I’ve been known to make a few decadent desserts and try my hand at new ideas. When you consider the number of people in our house, 8 or 9 all the time,…
