If you read my post yesterday you may have thought, "Well, she must have the world's best daughter!" Actually, no, but she does have the advantage of the Holy Spirit to guide her...however, sometimes the Holy Spirit cannot guide teens because parents are wimps! (Me included!) Join me over at MomLife Today where I share the latest "round" I had with my teen daughter and how God used it to teach her (and me) a little something of His … [Read more...]

Teen Preach…Good Stuff
My daughter's Facebook Status... I AM SO SICK OF HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA! Everyone just STOP! PEOPLE..think about someone other than yourself. Love God and love others, those are the ONLY things that matter in this world.. This was not (btw) provoked by any one person, but it does apply to (at least) my entire school. Myself included! It is beyond time for us to step up and stop being such hypocrites. Who we are on Sunday should be who we are on … [Read more...]
Point of Grace = Fun
Serving at FamilyLife and getting to be a part of what we do to minister to couples is an amazing blessing. When hubby and I were blessed with the opportunity last week to go on the Love Like You Mean It Cruise - it was especially fun - and as previously proven I am ALL ABOUT fun! So, traveling is always a bit hectic and dicey and last week we went through all the big bad hassle of traveling to Florida to go on this amazing five day Love Like … [Read more...]
Point of Grace – Music Monday

I will tell you all about it in the days to come, I am currently buried under a pile of laundry, a soon due Science Fair project that I must wrangle my son to do, some deadlines on graduation stuff for my daughter...and oh yeah, I'm scheduled to speak at the GIANT Homeschool Convention in Memphis next … [Read more...]
No Time = No Posts
Hey there, ho there! How you be? I be swamped! Major deadlines at MomLife Today that have kept me running around on my computer and to meetings whenever I have had some time to myself. Which has been seldom and at strangely odd times. Why you ask? Could it be because there have been three...count them three snow days and my teens have been home and I have had a constant houseful of extra teens so the last thing I have time to do is … [Read more...]
Family Matters Blog Shout Out
One of the best books I have ever read on parenting is Raising Kids for True Greatness by Tim Kimmel.

Snowmageddon!
So all day today I had meetings...important stuff regarding MomLife Today, upcoming video interviews, various events, future plans - including an amazingly fantastical mom conference we are planning. But here's the thing, all I could really think about was the grocery list in my purse and how I needed to get to the store to buy snow day supplies before Snowmageddon hits tomorrow! It was entertaining how throughout the day the forecast was … [Read more...]
Where Is The Love? – Music Monday
OK - so you gotta admit last night's Super Bowl half time show was quite entertaining! I literally jumped up off the couch and started dancing. Oh yeah, you are sorry you missed that huh? {maybe not} Several years ago when the Black Eyes Peas released their song, Where Is The Love? my kids and I wore the heck out of it! We still have the entire song memorized and have always enjoyed playing it very loudly and singing along! I realize the … [Read more...]

Snow Day Ramblings
So - I had these big plans to write an epic post today about my deep and wonderful thoughts provoked by an article I read yesterday. I woke up this morning to a "no school" announcement and wondered...."No school - what the heck?" It looked like a normal day outside. Then around 8:30 the snow began to fall - big fat white puffy snow! The pretty kind! So the amazing post you could be reading remains joggling around in my brain and I am … [Read more...]
