What You Won’t Find on Google
There are some things that you just cannot Google. I mean, I suppose that you could enter whatever search terms that you wanted, but there are certain things that even “Dr. Google,” and “Peace of Mind Google,” and “Am I Normal Google” cannot answer. I joked with my...
Ground Rules for Disagreeing with Your Spouse – Young Parents Edition
Back when my husband and I were first dating, and the world still had a rose-colored tint, I remember walking into the mall with him one day. We were hand in hand as we passed another couple having a very heated disagreement. I looked up at my (then boyfriend) and...
Why am I Always the One in Charge? – Another Lesson Learned
It was Christmas about four years ago. My nearly one year old little boy had been by my side and around my neck during much of our family gathering. As much as I loved being with him while he experienced his first Christmas, I hadn’t gotten to visit much with family....
The Truth About Ruining Your Kids
The first diaper that I ever changed was my son’s. I didn’t have any younger siblings or family members. I hadn’t spent my teenage years babysitting. The opportunity had just never presented itself. What a shame – I know. I did open a package of newborn diapers about...
What Women Need to Say Out Loud Daily
“I am not responsible for everyone else’s happiness.” Her sippy cup landed on the floor. We were in the middle of a complete tantrum. “I want juice!” I tried to rationally explain to her that we didn’t have any juice and that we don’t throw a fit when we don’t get our...
But First, I Am His Wife
We danced in the rain on our wedding day. It was an indoor wedding – but the severity of the storm had blown the rain through the glass doors and onto the floor of the reception hall. The power had gone out many hours before, but from small laptop speakers, we played...
The Church that Decided the Wounded were Welcome
I saw an old war movie once. In it, there was a scene that depicted a make-shift hospital. Wounded and injured soldiers were aided into the medic tent as bombs and gunfire could be heard raining in the background. I have never been to war, but I have seen many movies...
Anyone Else Tired of Hiding Their Mess?
When we built our house on the edge of town a few years back, we knew that we would eventually have neighbors on our street, and we looked forward to hopefully having another young family in the area. When that sweet young family built and moved in, I wish that I...
To Wives & Mommies Who Need More Time
After the last hugs were given and my kids were tucked into bed, I made my way towards the kitchen. I rinsed the few dishes that had been used since dinner, and I wiped down my counters. I made my final rounds of locking doors and turning off unnecessary lights. I...
Daddies Love Just as Much as Mommies
A few years ago, shortly after my daughter was born, I found myself in an intense “momma bear” phase. I was the one who stayed at home with the kids while my husband went to work. Unfortunately, there was no shortage of reminding him of this. “You work out there. I...

You turned three today. You are a perfect picture of carefree beauty. Life bubbles up from inside of you and spills over your edges. You are a compassionate heart, a considerate spirit, a breath of life and freedom. Years from now, as you look back on these words, my...
You Call Me Out Upon the Water
We aren’t the spontaneous type. With two preschoolers, we try to stay ahead of whatever chaos is eminent. This requires planning – planning to go to the grocery store, planning to go run common errands, planning when we will eat and nap and play. Life doesn’t always...
