International Women’s Day….Who Knew???
Today is International Women’s Day. Who knew? Did you? Have you heard of this before? I’ve been a woman for 33 years and on social media for many of those years, and had NO CLUE about this day. While watching The Notebook on tv this week, I saw a commercial flick across MTV about “life… Read more

When “me” becomes “we”
I have this gratitude calendar I’ve been keeping all year. It was something impressed on my heart last Christmas to do, and every day for the last year I have been reading one piece of Scripture and writing down the “gifts” of that day. {Side note here…if you haven’t read Ann Voskamp’s “1000 Gifts” you… Read more

Be still my heart
I make the bed every morning. It’s a weird thing that brings me a sense of order. I didn’t always do it, but in the last few years, something about a made bed when I walk into my room settles my heart. So this morning, as I got ready to take tiny humans to the… Read more

The struggle
Woke up this morning, 2 hours early because husband has jury duty. Joy. Tiny humans went to bed 2 hours late last night because we went to dinner with friends. They’re a hot mess.

You got it from me
Y’all what is it about dinner time that makes small humans go crazy? I mean straight up need a straight jacket, wild and crazy? I don’t get it. We’ve made it this far into the day safely, together, somewhat happy, we’re all still alive. All we need to do is eat something, take a bath,… Read more
