Ok, reason number 4,367 that you know you’re a mom – the absolute biggest highlight of your week was finding a nice park for the kids to play so you can be outside for awhile! One of the downsides to being in an apartment with toddlers is that there is absolutely no space to play […]
So, if charities and such host “Christmas in August”, I think today we should have “Thanksgiving in July”! That works, right? Who doesn’t want to eat a nice, big turkey and mashed potato meal when its 100 degrees out and then shimmy into a spandex swimsuit?! Just kidding…that’s not a pretty picture. But seriously. I […]
I missed writing last week –oops! Sorry about that…life got busy last week, and I just didn’t get any thoughts written down. I’ll just pretend that you took a week off from reading too, and here we are together again after vacation ; ) I finished up my Whole 30 challenge since we talked last […]

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 Our pastor used a powerful visual this week at church — he placed three slides on the screens in succession. On each slide his picture was placed next to the image of a notorious felon — Adolf Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer and […]
Don’t you just love when you have one of those little epiphanies? Just one split second where all the sudden something you have been thinking on makes total sense? I do. Over the years, I’ve read through the Bible about three times in its entirety, and I love that I get something new from it […]
