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...]

Sneak Out Of Your House Dare
Psst...I have a dare for you. Find a quiet MOMent, make sure everyone else in your home is doing something that will keep them busy. Sneak out of the back door of your home. Sit on the back step, or porch, or right on down in the grass. Look around you. Listen carefully. What do you see? What do you hear? Me? I see - trees, leaves and branches rustling in the wind, grass, strewn branches, bright sunlight, my … [Read more...]
Tilapia Made Easy (and yummy!)
There are some amazing women out there on the Internet who put a whole lot into their meal preparations for their families ... and then there is me. I've been a mom for eighteen years and I have cooked a whole lot of meals and I have made an art form of cooking good meals the simple way! The fewer ingredients the better. I invent recipe's all the time because I basically take the foods and flavors my family enjoys and I … [Read more...]
Labor Day Leads To Oh Happy Day
As we approach Labor Day and the long weekend, I must confess each year when I hear the term Labor Day I think of a whole other kind of labor. As a result this weekend reminds me of the gift of my children and the blessing it is to be a mom! Which then leads me to remember what a Happy Day that was. Which then makes me want to dance. Which then makes me want to sing. Which then makes me think of the happiest day of my life. Which … [Read more...]
Fruit Fly Catcher
I am being driven slowly into madness. By fruit flies. They are evil. Tiny red eyes evil. Taking over my home evil. Making me crazy evil. (Yes, there are worse things...but they really are causing me much angst.) Then a dim memory flashed. My parents gave me something they called a fruit fly catcher that they purchased from a Kentucky State Park. After a flurry of activity I found said fruit fly catcher, found out … [Read more...]
Paint Your Shoes
Women and shoes - oh yeah, it may seem cliche, but dag-gone it, we love us some shoes! As my daughter was packing up for college {sniff, sniff} she was making some decisions of epic proportion of what she would and would not take with her. And there were far too many "would's" than "would not's" being gathered. I was trying to offer advice without being a nagging mom, but she couldn't seem to grasp that her dorm room only had so much space … [Read more...]
