I’ll Eat Every Meal Cold if It Means You’re With Me

I’ll Eat Every Meal Cold if It Means You’re With Me

I eat most of my meals cold – if I get to eat at all. I don’t prefer cold food. I actually really like eating hot food – especially when I have spent a lot of my own time cooking it. But usually, I am too busy cutting food into toddler sized bites, or blowing on food...

How to Change the World in One Day

How to Change the World in One Day

The events that unfolded on the other side of the world last week have left none of us untouched. We have all been changed. Yes - changed. When hundreds of people were attacked as they went about their normal lives… it is just too much. The holidays are coming, and...

The Wife Who Just Needed a Hug – But NOT Right Away

The Wife Who Just Needed a Hug – But NOT Right Away

When my husband has been at work all day, I happen to stay at home with the kids. I know this isn’t the situation for all families. I know that not every woman who has a child stays at home. There are plenty of other ways that families operate. But in our family, I...

A Different Sort of Stretch Mark

The Christian Who Didn’t Care About a Cup

I will be the first to say that I don’t agree with all of the views that Starbucks has shared over the last few years. I will be the first to say that I don’t drink their coffee. But it is not because of the color or design of their cup or the beliefs of the...

To the Momma of the Anxious Child

Okay, we’ve done this every morning for the last nine weeks. It’s the same classroom, the same teachers, the same kids. We know how the morning will go, and that mommy comes to pick you up after you play outside and you eat your snack. It’s the same every single day....

I Had a Miscarriage

I Had a Miscarriage

For the Momma of the Strong-Willed Child

For the Momma of the Strong-Willed Child

It takes a special kind of momma to raise a strong-willed child. It takes a certain endless amount of grace to continually define the lines of what is and isn’t acceptable all while your child ceaselessly pushes back. It’s hard work marking the same boundaries a...

To My Husband Now That I’m Mommy

To My Husband Now That I’m Mommy

For My Daughter and For Yours

For My Daughter and For Yours

Yesterday, I took a picture with my daughter and posted it to Facebook. In the caption, I wrote: “She thinks you're beautiful momma. You are just her favorite. They say that the relationship between a girl and her momma changes over time. They warn us that one day our...
