Image via Wikipedia Mike and I will celebrate our 13th anniversary in July. Every year we celebrate the fact that we have beat the odds, particularly for how young we were when we got married. Today Sheila encouraged us to look back and think about what we wish we had known when we first became…

Tropicana Juicy Insider Program
I am excited to announce that I am an ambassador for the Tropicana Juicy Insider Program. I was just reading a People magazine at the grocery store and saw an advertisement for the program and all of a sudden I felt a little special. There are over 20,000 ways to save with this program. Registering…
Fleeting Moments
As my boys grow up (up and up and up) I miss the days when my lap was their favorite seat. When my hugs and kisses were welcomed. When I was “the prettiest gwirl” in the world. But that was then and this is now. Now, my mere existence makes me the most embarrassing woman…
Children Count Too!
Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come!” But children who are hidden from the U.S….
Teens and Respect
Thank you all so much for the discussion that we had on last week’s topic. This week I wanted to focus on respect. Sunday I picked up the latest issue of Home Life magazine at church (shameless self promotion, I am quoted on page 54). I also picked up the February issue and it had…

But, as we all know there are days that between basketball practice, church activities and doctors appointments a home cooked meal is just not in the cards. Rather than spend extra money on fast food in these instances, I often…
Did I settle? or did God know just what He was doing?
I haven’t participated in Wifey Wednesday in a while but the topic today struck a chord with me. And you know what happens when a cord is struck? I write. (and write and edit and write and so on) …but it does mean that if you’re not happy in your marriage, perhaps we should stop…
So Long Insecurity, Hello Me
Image via Wikipedia I am reading Beth Moore’s newest book, So Long Insecurity…You’ve been a bad friend to us. Wow, has God been using this book to touch my heart and thunk (may have just made up another word) on the head about some things. One of them is embracing who I am, who He…
Every Other Sunday
Every other Sunday I see….his deep dark eyes, so much like his daddy. His curly hair that he has obviously put tremendous effort {and hair gel} into staying in position. I look up to him now. This mama’s head coming to his chin, the chin that he leaves stray hairs grow on so that people…
