They didn’t fit how I wanted to live. Some books had crazy complicated plans and others taught how to “do it all” and fit it [...]

The kids have suddenly fine tuned the art of antagonizing each other into a complete frenzy. Usually, I can handle the bickering and the real fighting can [...]

It’s hard to believe another week has gone by. Our summer has been very peaceful and kind of lazy. As I meander through these months, its easy for me to sometimes take this peacefulness for granted.

Over the weekend, I heard a couple of moms talking about school starting in just a few [...]

I had a 2 1/2 hour drive by myself this morning. Last night, I took the kids to my parents so they could stay for a few days and this morning I made the drive back home. To pass the time, I jumped from radio station to radio station. I listened to some contemporary christian [...]
