When You’ve Blown It: Five Ways to Overcome a Mom Fail
“Every single day, I’m late for work because you won’t do what I’ve asked you to do! Every. Day.” Our mornings are not always spectacular. It’s great when my son is compliant and obedient.

A 21-Day Challenge to a Stronger Faith
My family and I were watching the animated movie “Prince of Egypt” a few nights ago.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:21 (ESV) My husband and I just returned from a five-day trip to the Bahamas, which he earned through his job.

A Letter to My Hard-Working Husband
To my precious husband… I must admit, sometimes I wish things were different. I compare myself to others on social media and think… “Wow, it was nice that her husband sent her flowers for no particular reason.” “Oh, and how thoughtful to surprise her with tickets to that show.” “He must really love her to go outContinue reading “A Letter to My Hard-Working Husband”
Overwhelming Love: Our SPD Story
