A long-time reader wrote this morning with a question and my answer to her feels relevant to many other new moms I know so if you all don’t mind, I’d like to share. She writes:

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of friends doing the “Babywise” system….but I just get a bad feeling about the [...]

I came across this article today in the Washington Post: Tebow’s Super Bowl ad isn’t intolerant; its critics are by Sally Jenkins. Ms. Jenkins declares right away that she is pro-choice when it comes to abortion, but she and I would agree on most every other point in her article.

Jenkins writes about Tim Tebow and [...]

I don’t really do anger. Not because anger is a sin, not even because it’s hurtful to those around me. I’ve just never been one to get angry about things. Sure, things bother me, I get peeved or irritated with things, people. But true, heated anger usually goes right over my head–which makes me particularly [...]

Well, it happened. Yesterday at school AJ heard a teacher say that students are not allowed to say Jesus at school.

We were talking about her day on the way to dance class when she recounted this story about a boy in her class (names changed):

Mom, Billy got in trouble at school today. He [...]

I wasn’t planning a post again for a little while, but this is too good.

According to Joanna at Simple Blueprint,

This clip was submitted by a 20 year old in a contest titled “U@50″ by the AARP. When they showed it everyone in the room was awe-struck and brooke out in applause. It is [...]

Reading back through a few old posts today I came across one that seems fitting for a new year. It inspired me, I hope it does the same for you.

One of my favorite singers is Allison Krauss. If you’re not a bluegrass fan, you can still appreciate the clarity of her tone. She’s an amazing [...]

Just signing on to the blog today to say yellow. I mean hello, but shoot, I typed ‘yellow’ so what the heck, let’s run with it. Yellow, world. How’s your Christmas shaping up? Mine is beautiful, and very sad too, but ultimately glorious.

We don’t do a big hurrah for Christmas, just family and fun. I [...]

I have a confession. A serious confession. I am addicted to porn. Wait, don’t freak out just yet. I mean female porn. Wait, that sounds worse. Actually, it just might be. I’m addicted to romance movies, books, and ideals. If I could live in Jane Austen’s world (and take my toothpaste with me), I would.

Stories [...]

Well. Look what was in my inbox this morning! I don’t know about you, but I’m taking this as confirmation that yesterday’s post was on the right track.

However, as it is written:   “No eye has seen,      no ear has heard,      no mind has conceived      what [...]

A couple of little stories from this week, ways my kids have taught me about my relationship with the Father of all parents.

I can see better things for you

The pancakes were fresh off the griddle and the scent of warm batter was in the air. The girls were scaling the safety gate when I reached [...]

My client-friend Christa Allan, whose website I redesigned this year again, has a new book coming out in the spring that I can’t wait to get ahold of! Here’s a teaser video:

Checking out of the hotel, I thanked the desk clerk with a smile because I was hurried by a deadline somewhere. As I picked up my purse and put on my hat, I looked down at my hands and felt older than I should have been. They were more wrinkled than I remember and I [...]

Liv has this thing where she says “uh oh” to just about anything that doesn’t go her way. It started out just when she dropped or spilled something, but now it’s when she comes upon the safety gate or when M is playing with a toy she wants, or even once when the cable TV [...]

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3

When I first started blogging in 2004 and got serious about web design, I discovered an innumerable amount of people who were much better than me… at everything, it seemed.

Before I came to the Lord, I thought [...]
