So, we are now one quarter through 2015 ... what??? I am joining Emily and a bunch of others sharing what we learned this month. It's so fun to read everyone's discoveries. Baby animals are awesome! My girl and I spent a couple of days with some friends who have a farm in Tennessee. Dry Hollow Farm had lots of babies for us to hold and feed and generally be goofy about. Pete Wilson who wrote Let Hope In {you know, the book I think EVERYONE should read} has a new book ... [Read More]
I Don’t Have to Be the Perfect Mom {and neither do you!}
My friend Marguerite and I walk together several mornings a week. Recently {and what seems like always lately}, I was bemoaning my failures as a mom. Marguerite, who has three boys of her own, looked me in the eyes and said, “You would never let any of your friends talk about themselves like this. Treat yourself the way you treat us.” She was right. I’d never let my friends believe they were failures because of frustration over snow days and a less than extravagant birthday celebration. I’d ... [Read More]
15 Years of Mothering {and why it’s harder than I ever thought!}
Fifteen years ago our daughter was born. I had all kinds of hopes and dreams about what life with a girl was going to be. I envisioned tea parties and dance classes. I looked forward to pedicures and movie dates. I anticipated shopping trips and girls only getaway weekends. I was sure I’d be the kind of mom who knew when to listen and how to point her daughter back to Scripture. I just knew we’d share a love for Bible study and maybe even one day do conferences together for moms and ... [Read More]
Coming in 2015
Well, here we are … the second Friday of 2015. Wow! Already I sense this year is going to fly by. Before everything gets totally out of control, I thought I’d take a minute to share a few of the things I have planned for this little online spot during the coming months. 31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage. I’m very excited about this series, especially after the incredible response to 31 Verses to Pray for Your Girl. We’ll kick it off January 15 and end on Valentine’s Day. And of course, I’ll ...

Your Favorite Posts of 2014
2014 is over and this week my goal is to get back into my blogging groove. December was a crazy month and while I did LOVE sharing some Advent thoughts from the Gospel of Luke every day on Facebook, I didn't manage to blog as much as I had hoped. So, here we are in January. My girl goes back to school on Wednesday so we're relishing our last bit of Christmas break with some shopping and salon-ing. {Yeah, I just made up that word.} I'm looking forward to some fun family time before we jump ...

For Your Weekend {“Friends” Marathon Edition}
Oh my word, y'all! It's Saturday morning and we're having a little Friends marathon around here. Thank you, Netflix! {Though we do own all ten seasons on DVD so we've been having Friends marathons since before the show went off the air.} I'm currently watching my favorite episode ever: The One with All the Poker. So many great lines in just under 30 minutes. For example, "Did you get that from the I Love Rachel pizzeria?" "Oh hello, Kettle, this is Monica. You're black!" "Oh it's ... [Read More]
