I don’t really tend to read hype-you-up, trendy self help books but now in my old age, my 30’s, I have learned to read the books that offer Christian wisdom based on experience or revelation. I always thought nonfiction, “be better” books were boring, fusty-dusty sleepy reads until I got to a point in my […]
Hey y’all, I’m back! Happy October! If you missed it, I wrote last month that I was going to take the month of September off to have a little end of summer sabbatical to rest, seek God and spend time with my family. I am so excited to be back, but I LOVED taking a […]
This one is a bit heavy today; if anyone knows me, I absolutely detest confrontation, and am usually buttoned up about all issues political or social because I know what I believe and I simply hate to argue with anyone about it. But these thoughts were so heavy on my mind that I had to […]
My baby girl is about to turn two years old tomorrow!! I tell you what, nothing makes you feel old like seeing time passing by in hyperspeed as kids grow and change right in front of your eyes! In the past two weeks, she’s been potty trained, speaks in some sentences, counts to ten by […]

You’re in for yet another parenting post, sorry! There are so many things about being a parent that you never thought of in your pre-baby days — like, you never realized how long it could take you to get out the door for even a quick errand! Before you leave, you check to be sure […]
