I woke up Sunday with this disturbance of my spirit. I’m not one who places much stock in the whims of emotions or “gut instinct” because I’m a woman, and many times my emotions can be WAY OFF COURSE! And let’s be honest, some times it’s not emotions, it’s a need for chocolate. But I

It’s Monday, and honestly this is the beginning of full summer break for my family. All of my tiny huamns are home all day, every day, with no camps for the next SEVERAL weeks!!!! Panic can overtake a mother when you realize you have no plan for tiny humans and in a few short hours

Y’all, by 9 am this morning I was ready to call it a day, curl up in bed and stop adulting. Legit, I was done! I hadn’t woken up with that intention, I mean, I had a plan. The day was going to be great, I was going to be a great mom, I was

I feel as if I say a lot of “no” in my world. I’ve heard it come out of my mouth far to often for my pleasure. “No, you can’t eat that cookie now!” “No, we aren’t going out.” “No, you can’t do that.” No. No. No. Then I heard myself tell God “No.” and
