I am always so excited this time of year because my kids will be home more during the summer and my days, and nights, will be a bit more carefree and casual. Yes, of course there is still lots that must get done...but daggum it I decided several years ago that when I was a kid I loved summer cause the pressure was off! So I made sort of a personal declaration that just because I was a grown up did not mean I couldn't have a summer “break” … [Read more...]

Wow
As I sat down to write I was struck by the fact that I didn't quite know where to begin. Suffice it to say I have had quite the twenty four hours. Yesterday I was on a one hour conference call with some amazingly gifted and Godly folks who believe, really believe in the book I have written and want to work with me to get it into the hands of moms. Wow. My daughter, who got home from college on Monday left again yesterday to head to … [Read more...]
Fifty Shades of Grey No Way
There are days when you read something on someone else's blog that you find so compelling you just kinda think...why say what's already been said? Such is the case today. I have much admiration and respect for Dannah Gresh and she has dedicated the last several years of her life to speaking into the lives of others on the subject of purity and sexuality. She has done the research and has a pure heart in her motives to speak on these … [Read more...]

Over the weekend I had the joy of serving a friend as the wedding coordinator for her daughter’s wedding. I have had lots of experience through the years as a party planner, wedding planner, but as of late I “gift” my services to those I love because it blesses me tremendously to see a peaceful mother and a happy bride! As I sat on my back deck today praying for the new bride and groom I had several snapshots of the day click through my … [Read more...]
Foster Care Prayer Vigil – Hosts Needed
I have supported Hope for Orphans since 2006 and it is my fervent prayer that others in the mom blogging space will join with Hope for Orphans for the National Foster Care Prayer Vigil. Five years ago during a gathering of orphan advocates at Saddleback Church I stood at a small table and registered those who would commit to pray. That day I slowly watched the map of the United States fill up with prayer vigils being committed to all across … [Read more...]
Anxiety & Fear Wave
I am in a difficult place right now. I just read over and camped on Psalm 23 for a bit. Rather than quiet waters...I sense a churning. An overwhelming crash of emotion...a wave of anxiety and fear. As I concentrate on God and who He is in the face of my uncertainty, though the wave is upon me, it slowly abates with the ebb of peace and calm – just as the waves of the ocean. God is not surprised by anything happening in my life right … [Read more...]
Social Media Deaths Increasing
An alarming trend of loss and death continues to grow, leading to speculation that social media and media in general have become the fastest growing killers in America. The public reporting of mounting deaths has been kept under wraps for several years, but no longer can our society look the other way. We must all recognize the truth that there is a dark side of social media and media or the death toll will continue to rise. Several first … [Read more...]
