I wrote a post last night, but was working on tweeking it this afternoon. I cannot bring myself to finish when my heart is heavy as I watch the images of Haiti on my television screen. My husband, Mini-Me and I spent time in Haiti this past summer helping to build an orphanage. Thus far, we have not heard from Continue Reading →
My tweets for today: Nates5bs is looking for her big girl panties. Anyone seen them? Later in the day: Nates5bs thinks hell just might be spending an eternity sitting in a pediatric waiting room full of sick kids & 3 restless boys. Those just about sum up my day. Our home is coughing, coughing, coughing and I am tired from Continue Reading →
As I sit here writing tonight, my heart is heavy. All day I intended to write about Scripture Prayers, but then God brought a series of circumstances that made me step back and take a look at how we as moms have so many choices to make–some of them with great results and some not so much. Since this was Continue Reading →
This is my last post about my recent reading. Thought I’d end it with a bang! This book, “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan has been put before me many times over the last few months and I pushed it aside. Finally I got tired of it surfacing everywhere I turned and decided to read it. Maybe God was trying to Continue Reading →
If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you have heard me wrestle with the issue of how to manage sibling squabbles in my home. I know this is repeat info for those that know me, but again…I am an only child so this whole sibling thing elludes me. I learn much from watching my children be Continue Reading →

Shortly after that, I checked a book out of the library that I had heard some good things about and this book has lived up to my expectations. It is called, “Family Feasts for $75 a Week” by Mary Ostyn. Not only does it have Continue Reading →
I’ve been doing really good at mapping out time for myself to write every week day. However, I am going to step back until Monday. I’m crocheting like crazy to sell a few items at a boutique this weekend, prepping to host an “If You Were Mine” Adoption Seminar at our church on Saturday and throwing a baby shower on Continue Reading →
I was thinking a bit more about what I wrote recently about being bold enough to seek out a woman to mentor you. I wanted to add a few thoughts. Mentoring doesn’t have to come in the form of just one woman. It can be also be done indirectly from a series of women. You could be mentored–of sorts–by a Continue Reading →
Sunday was one of those days that I woke up thinking such and such was going to happen, but by the time I went to bed that night, nothing I’d planned happened. Sometimes that can be frustrating, but this particular day I tried to relax and enjoy what God had in store for me instead. One of the biggest blessings Continue Reading →
Funny how God works in themes. I just wrote about The Shepherd today. I did not plan this on purpose, but we had Shepherd’s Pie for dinner. It was already on the menu. Think He’s trying to tell me something?
