Driving At Age Ten! What?
I am absolutely at a loss for words {well, not really-since I am writing about it} that parents would allow their ten year old to drive! Has the world gone mad? I still cannot quite figure out how it happened. I mean heck, they can barely see over the steering wheel. I think some of them have got to be using booster seats while driving. They look so grown up sitting behind that wheel. It is so cute! Their parents are so proud too, taking … [Read more...]
Mom Disappears!?
I want to disappear. Do you have days like that? Oh how glorious it would be if the skies would part and Jesus would appear and then I could disappear. The constant praise of Him could begin. I find myself longing for that more and more. Is that promise of being reunited with my Savior the source of the longing in my heart on this day (and several others) to disappear?

No Perfect Moms
There are no perfect moms and certainly as a woman who wrote a book titled Be The Mom I hope anyone who sees that book will inquire further and learn that my heart behind the book is simply to exhort moms to step into their God given role as a mom with a quiet resolve to do so with intentionality and purpose. As C.S. Lewis said, "The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only, and that is to support the … [Read more...]
Doing Laundry For Fun!
In Be The Mom I talk about doing chores together as a family and trying to make even chores an opportunity to bond and build relational equity with your children. I suggest that it is wise to make doing things around the house more about the relationship and character building and less about perfect chore completion.
