We're on vacation. We've got our feet in the sand and enjoying some much-needed time away {and mostly unplugged}. It's what we need ... though I imagine come Monday I'll be needing a vacation to recover from doing all our vacation laundry! :) This month at Do Not Depart, the theme has been about keeping holy habits while we travel. There have been so many great resources shared over there over the past few weeks — everything from memory verses while you travel to a seven-day family ... [Read More]
Dear Weary Mom, Meet My Friends
I'm at youth camp. In Panama City Beach. While I am having some real issues with the idea that I have a daughter old enough to attend youth camp, I am enjoying myself. {Though to be honest, I'm more weary of body than of mind and spirit at this point!} So, since I'm out of town, I didn't do a Dear Weary Mom letter. Here's why ... each week you all leave the sweetest comments and share your own weary burdens. It blesses me and encourages me and I love every comment you leave. I don't want ... [Read More]
10 Great Books for Moms
I've been writing a lot {okay, mostly}about parenting lately. There are several reasons for that but the main one is, right now, it's just hard. I think I might have mentioned before how much more challenging parenting a teenager is than I'd ever dreamed. And I'm not alone. I get phone calls and texts and emails almost every day from friends who are trying to navigate these tricky waters without going under and without losing their kids {and their minds!} to the riptides that keep popping ...

For the Dads {Happy Father’s Day!}

I love you! Happy Father's Day to the two men I love the ... [Read More]
Dear Weary Mom, Dig In!!
Oh friend! I wish you were here next to me. This little note would be so much better as a long chat over yummy chocolate cheesecake and some really good coffee. I've been thinking about this topic often since I started writing these weekly letters for the weary moms. We can be a pitiful little sisterhood, you know? We're frazzled and worn out. Sometimes we end up in a puddle of tears on the kitchen floor wondering if we'll survive. I know ... I'm there more often than I ever dreamed I ... [Read More]
Girl Mom? You’ll Love This!!
Mothers of Daughters {formerly MOD Squad} has relaunched this month as a magazine! I love writing for this site and being a part of this vibrant community. This month, I'm sharing some thoughts about the aisle of magic ... and how a little box of chemicals taught me a lesson or two about mothering my girl. You'll find amazing writers who love being girl moms ... including my own mom mentor {and gracious writer of the foreword to Parenting from the Overflow} Kate ... [Read More]
