From my dad: "This is the church where your mother and I got married." Okay so maybe he isn't very poetic, and this picture doesn’t spark a hundred emotions within you like it does for me, but I know my dad’s big heart and this sure made me smile! Just take another look at the picture, would you? ...
Sibling Love
This boy. He is so sensitive, compassionate, animated, and full of adventure. I love the way his big sister smiles and listens to his stories, allllll of his great big stories. Man, she listens so well to him. Tonight the story is of what it felt like as he took his impromptu first ...
Together
You guys, I can't even tell you how much my soul needed a laid back night like this. Take-out supper under the golden sun, next to the ballfields. Children laughing, no dishes to wash, a husband racing his kids, smiles, fresh air, grass under my feet, the perfect scenery to the East, all of it was ...

Tea & Crumpets, or Whatever
It's a Tea & crumpets kind of day. Well okay, here it's more like water and donuts. I just wanted to give you another visual of my favorite soapbox, which is: "Do what works for you". God created us each unique with our own gifts, talents, and interests. You do you, I'll do me. Together ...
The Simplest Of Toys Are Often The Very Best
When it comes to gift giving, sometimes we go to extremes looking for the perfect toys for our kids, or their friends. I'm here to say GIFT GIVING SHOULD NOT BE STRESSFUL. Don’t underestimate the entertainment and joy of a simple rubber ball. There are no batteries to be replaced, no tunes ...
What Should I Take to a Blog Conference?
I’m attending my first Blog Conference next weekend, and I already started thinking a few weeks ago about what I would be bringing with me (aside from my usual necessities, which are my cell phone, a good lip balm, and some cash). I don’t want to take too much stuff with me that I feel like I’m ...
God Loves You, and I Love Ice Cream
I asked her "What should I write about this picture?" To which she immediately replies: "GOD LOVES YOU, and *I* love ice cream!" Some days we need reminded that God loving us really is all that matters. I'm so grateful to have this sweetie in my life who never let's me forget how much God ...
