I have always felt like wedding anniversary's were something that were private, a special day for the bride and groom to celebrate without much fan fair. My experiences in the last few days have caused me to realize that longevity in marriage is something people like to celebrate - because it is a novelty to most. Celebrating my 25th Wedding Anniversary has led to some interesting conversations with several people...mostly strangers … [Read more...]

Random Stuff & Happy Anniversary To Me
I feel loved by God fully, completely and am grateful for His unmerited goodness! Thank you for your prayers for my horse Dot! She is doing amazingly well! Her hoof abscess finally busted and we continue to soak and clean her hoof and give her lots of TLC! My husband and I made a trip to Pine Cove Christian camp over the weekend and I am even MORE excited about the MomLife Boot Camp event we are having there March 23-25, … [Read more...]
Always!

Horse Prayers
Hey Friends - I am quite preoccupied right now as I am caring for one of our horses...Dot. She has an abscess in her hoof and she is in lots of pain and hobbling around and it is awful and I am at my wits end trying to relieve her and help! I have logged many hours caring for ill children and pets, but a 1,000+ pound mammal that lives in a barn out back presents a whole new set of challenges. Even in her pain she is still a sweet horse, … [Read more...]
Courageous Mom Chat
I recently shared that I was blessed to interview Priscilla Shirer during her recent visit to FamilyLife. Well, while she was here I also spent some time with the Kendrick brothers who created the movie Courageous! More importantly I got to hang out with the Kendrick brothers wives - I am always more interested in the women behind successful men! Jill and Christina were amazingly wonderful - but we are not surprised by that are we? They … [Read more...]
Ran-Ram (Random Ramblings)
It's been awhile since I just "let it fly" with some "R n R" random bits of mom thoughts, that are at times filled with wisdom...or not. I can always tell when my children are sick because their eyes are not quite right. My daughter looks absolutely adorable when chatting on FB facetime. Trying to get people to follow your blog is kinda silly, they either will or they won't - just share your heart, the rest is up to God! When editing … [Read more...]
Husband Help
I recall an older wiser woman saying to me once, "He will never know if you don't tell him, sharing burdens is part of what marriage is about." Once again that advice was proven wise. You see I have been carrying this very heavy burden all around with me the past couple of weeks. It was weighing me down. I tried to to quietly, bravely haul it around with me, thinking it would eventually go away and become less burdensome, but that was not … [Read more...]
Awakened From A Sound Sleep
Mom's have this radar that exists while we sleep that allows us full consciousness, even in our unconsciousness! If you are a mom I know you get what I am saying. Our family vacation each summer requires a long road trip and I am most blessed to have a husband that prefers to do all the driving. That leaves me with the option of engaging in fun and games with my children, chatting incessantly, quietly reading, writing or sleeping. … [Read more...]
God Makes Me Giggle
Take a look at this picture! How does that happen? How am I able to sit down and do a video interview with Priscilla Shirer, hear her heart for motherhood and share her latest project the Resolution Revolution? Only because God wanted it to happen - that's how! My efforts to work with other amazing moms (from the US and Internationally) to create MomLife Today as a way to come alongside moms in their daily life and encourage and … [Read more...]
