My teenage daughter has long teased me about my ongoing habit of randomly singing (quite loudly) whenever I am off by myself somewhere in our home. I am talking loud and enthusiastic (with umph) kinda singing… I am totally into this singing thing, kinda singing. No, I do not have a particularly melodic voice, but that does not stop me from belting out the tunes. This habit has been with me since I was a young professional, I recall the … [Read more...]
Help for Moms Who Wanna Have Fun
Part of my m.o. is that I am a mom who likes to have fun with my kids. Now it wasn't always this way mind you, I went through my exhausted who has time for fun stage, but God snapped me out of that and I have never looked back. I realize that not all moms are naturally inclined for fun - that's why I wrote a post over at MomLife Today with a few tips for funness! Listed below are the ten suggestions for fun I challenged moms to try - I hope … [Read more...]
Daughter Love!
Remember when little girls used to play with Barbie dolls? Frighteningly society is working hard to convince our little girls (I'm talking 8 to 10 year olds here!) they need to look like Barbie dolls - now! Hair, make-up and even clothes formally marketed to women are being marketed to little girls. Can this be healthy? Join me over at MomLife Today for a video interview I did with Speaker/Author Dannah Gresh and see what she has to say … [Read more...]
Simple Day…
My day has been ordinary. My day has been extraordinary...because I shared it with my family through conversation, laughter and knowing glances that reflected love and care. These family MOMents exist daily, but sadly I don't always notice them...or appreciate them. As I contemplate the absence of "mom" in the home of Gabrielle Giffords I realize the ordinariness of every day should be welcomed. As I read the posts of a beloved husband, … [Read more...]
Hug Me
I am most pleased that illness eluded our family over the CHRISTmas break! Woo Hoo! Much healthy fun occurred including sleep overs, dance parties, movie nights, dinner w/friends here, dinner w/friends at their home, bon fires, singing, game playing, hiking, comedy night, baking, cooking, crafting...we did a bit of everything. This week, school started up for my teens, I went in to substitute teach and BAM I came down with a bear of a cold. … [Read more...]
Texting and Driving Do Not Mix
Usually Monday is Music Monday here...however today I am posting this documentary because there is an epidemic of teens (and adults) texting while driving... and it is leading to tragedy. I implore you to have a conversation with your teen (and yourself) and resolve a text free car commitment for 2011 - that's a resolution worth keeping. It takes a little time to watch this AT&T Texting While Driving Documentary...but it's worth it. … [Read more...]
No Social Media Zone
I hope you have a very blessed CHRISTmas and I trust you will take time to be with the Lord and make awesome memories with your family and friends...I know I will. FamilyLife closes it's offices between CHRISTmas and theNew Year to allow families time to connect. As I am focusing on my relationships, at this special time of year, I will be having a no social media zone until after the first of the year - might I suggest you do the … [Read more...]

Away in the Anger is more like it! Are you one of those moms with a Christmas attitude? What I mean to suggest by that is don’t be a frazzled, I have too much to do, grumpy, no fun to be with during the month of December, oh my gosh there are not enough hours in the … [Read more...]

And hey if I write a bit less this month, who's to care! Let's face it, you don't have time to be sittin around reading posts anyway! It's CHRISTmas and you … [Read more...]
A Walk In My Shoes
I have spent the last few days soaking in the amazing hospitality of the Cathy Family (Chick Fil A) and meeting some "on fire" people who are working hard to provide help and hope to marriages and families! I have much to share that I will start blogging about next week - however, I've been traveling for two weeks so it's time to chill out over the weekend! Of course, my camera died the day before I left so my original plan of sharing my … [Read more...]
