Recently I was completely embarrassed by some of the words I heard one of my children say to another child at the ball park. In front of both parents, the words sounded mean, though I didn’t feel in my heart they were hateful. Sometimes children don’t recognize the power of…
The summer brings beautiful flowers, fresh breezes, and…. weddings! Weddings are a wonderful time to bless a new couple with long-lasting memories AND a few treasures. I think it is an extra touch to provide gifts that speak love and commitment into the lives of those receiving them. Today…
This past weekend was my husband’s 50th birthday backyard celebration! (This photo is NOT from the party. ;)) We don’t usually invite a ton of folks over for parties, because, well, our family alone is a party. But I really wanted my husband to feel the love, so we had…
Hey Friends! It’s the typical hopping summer week for the Wojo tribe. HUGE Birthday shout-out to my husband, Matt, on his 50th birthday yesterday!! We are celebrating with a big backyard party tomorrow, so you can imagine the hustle and bustle at our house today. It’s also the last day…
Marriage is worth fighting for. Love is worth fighting for. While I didn’t fight hard enough for my first marriage, I no longer have the philosophy that I have to have a perfect record in a certain category of life in order to write about it. Mistakes have a way of…
At our house, we’ve been counting down the number of school days remaining since spring break! Everyone is ready for more baseball games, camp, and THE POOL! Hooray! Last year I wrote this little summer creed for parents because I needed it myself. Just a reminder that summer is a…
Many blessings have transcended on our family as a result of having a child with different and special needs. One of my favorite blessings is that my children have a heart for those who need extra help in this world.  The kids just naturally have grown up serving Taylor, from picking up…
When you have a loved one in Heaven, there are times you miss them more than others. Mother’s Day is one of those times for me; my mom left this world 14 years ago. Today I’m participating in a wonderfully encouraging band of sisters to bring you letters of hope and…
As mama to a special needs girl with a rare metabolic disorder, MPS, the road of special needs parenting was often lonely. Sometimes I wanted to tell God that he chose the wrong mama for Taylor. But he didn’t- his plan for Taylor included me. I’m giving you my best…
Hey Friends! It’s been a great week and today I’m excited to give away something I think you’ll love- 2 tickets to the movie, Mom’s Night Out, premiering in theaters on Mother’s Day weekend!! I was privileged to attend a preview screening of this fun movie and you can find…
Mother’s Day is close to my heart for so many reasons. 7 reasons for sure- my kiddos. Maybe 8- I have a son-in-law too; he’s a good guy. 😉 On a more serious note, my mom is in Heaven and for that reason, I encourage you to take the time…
I’m so excited that the time is nearing to celebrate Easter! Celebrating the birth of Christ is important, but celebrating the resurrection of Christ is gloriously pivotal when you’ve accepted Christ as your Savior. I’ve been collecting a few ideas over the last couple weeks and thought you’d enjoy seeing…
