Okay. Okay.  I know I've been absent for awhile, but that's just life as a mommy!  Sometimes life just gets overwhelming, and I have to prioritize.  When my daughter stands at my feet screaming, "Ma! Ma! Ma!" and she's not hurt or upset, I know that I am not spending enough time with her.  I… Continue reading Summer Fun

I had another post all ready for today, but I believe that I need to post this one today instead.  My heart is heavy because I am starting to hear too many reports from my friends - people I have known for years - who are giving up on their marriages.  Something about the sixth… Continue reading Remember Your Vows

I've been having some computer problems the last couple of weeks, so I'm sorry that I haven't posted in awhile.  I am just able to get on for a short time today at my mom's house, and I can't upload any pictures over here.  But I felt that this was an important post, so I… Continue reading God’s Grace in Trials

What are you doing to encourage positive, Christlike behavior in your children? This question sprang to my mind the other day after we had gone to the hospital for a visit with Jamie's grandfather (Pa-Paw).  Any child would probably be afraid of Pa-Paw.  On a "healthy" day, he is still pretty scary-looking.  He hosts the… Continue reading Training Your Child

Remember the post I wrote a couple months ago about being thankful for the manna?  Well, today in our devotions, Hannah and I found out what was the result of being thankful for the manna. We learned to be "thankful for the manna" back in Numbers 11, when the Israelites were complaining about the way… Continue reading From Manna to Fruit

I am an avid book reader.  I admit it.  I absolutely love every type of genre.  I'll read children's books, teen books, mysteries, sci fi (for my husband's sake), inspirational books, etc.  In fact, I have a book that I am currently reading in just about every room in the house!  So you can imagine… Continue reading Think On These Things

Well, I guess I have to swallow my pride and write this post!  I believe that I hurt someone's feelings from a previous post that I wrote.  Being a writer, I write whatever I'm feeling, and sometimes that gets me into trouble!  Honestly, I didn't intentionally write to hurt anyone but just to vent my… Continue reading A Humble Apology

We celebrated Hannah's first birthday last week; so with all the craziness, I have had a really hard time getting online!  We had a small family party for her at home on her actual birthday, but we had a HUGE birthday party for her at the park on Saturday.  The weather was gorgeous, and we… Continue reading Happy 1st Birthday, Hannah!

  Never say that your child will never do something because you will definitely have to eat those words.  Case in point - I said, "My child will never poop in the bathtub."  Well, this week, I am eating my words!  That's right.  My sweet, little princess filled her bath water with poop. I admit… Continue reading Rubba Dub Dub – She Pooped in the Tub

I daily receive in my inbox a tip from The Generous Wife, a godly woman who shares advice on how to make your husband feel loved by you - his wife.  I must confess that I am often guilty of taking out my frustration on my husband.  He is a godly father and husband, and… Continue reading Oh My Man, I Love Him So
