I’d be lying if I said that going from being a somewhat normal woman to a one-handed, more-clumsy-than-usual, completely-dependent-on-others one is no big deal to me. I know it could be so much worse, and I am grateful for the generosity and love that has been shown to me since the unhappy moment when I […]
Seasons: Where Balance is Found
I’ve spent a lot of hours trying to figure out what balanced life should look like. The answer finally came to me on a sweet spring morning. Join me over at Always Alleluia to see what I learned. While you’re there, take some time to get to know Kris, the sweet and talented author of […]
Mothering Gone Awry {Guest Post}
I’m really excited to have my Aunt Kim guest posting on the blog today. She has raised three outstanding children who were my best friends growing up. Kim has not only been a great example of a good mother, but she’s also invested in the lives of women in her community by hosting in-home Bible […]
Handicapped and in Need of Guest Posters
As most of you already know, I injured my left hand over the weekend. (Thank God I’m right-handed!) My plan was to write a post or two over the weekend, but since my fateful moment struck at 9:00 A.M. Saturday, writing was no longer an option. So here I am typing a one-handed explanation about […]
To My Mama
How do I write the perfect post to illustrate the love and gratitude I have for my mom? If I knew, then you’d be reading it. I’ve thought and thought, and written and rewritten, but nothing seems to grasp what I’m wanting to relay to this beautiful woman who gave me life, shaped me […]

This blog is about being able to relate when you feel alone as well as moving past the yucky feelings of being “average.” As unifying as motherhood can be to women, certain aspects of it can be equally isolating. I’m grateful to my friend Amber for sharing a bit of […]
Mom Wars
Photo Credit If you keep up with the news even a little bit, then you undoubtedly heard the statement made about Ann Romney last month, stating that she “hadn’t actually worked a day in her life” since she was a stay-at-home mom. I’m not here to bash anyone, and I’m certainly not desiring to start […]
A Boy & His Red Wagon
Sometimes I feel like giving up. I look at what lies ahead of me if I continue on the path I’m on and I decide that I just can’t do it. So I take a break, or cross the goal off my to-do list, not because I’ve completed it, but because I’ve decided it no […]
Mommy Moments {Guest Post}
My dear friend Melissa has been kind enough to share her story with us today. I met Melissa at the beginning of my teaching career when she became my mentor. From that relationship, she’s become my sister as we’ve shared our hearts, laughed until we’ve cried, and then cried until we laughed. I love her […]
Let’s Hear it for Motherhood
A while back, I felt this pull to put the focus of most posts for May on motherhood. Motherhood has shaped each of us, whether you’re a mom or not, whether you have a close relationship with your mama or miss her terribly because she’s already gone home. Whatever mother figure you did or did […]
