It happened yesterday. I was having a Tuesday. A Tuesday still shadowed by post-holiday slumpiness and house mess. A Tuesday in January, no less. Why on earth God found fit to throw this horrid month into the year, I’ll never understand. I was stomping fabulously around the house, trying to watch a 4 yr. old, unpack […]
For The Mommas Whose Hearts Hurt
This was by far my most visited post of the year. It was written in the corners of a desperate, tired afternoon as I fought with my son over reading homework and burned dinner on the stove…I think this is why is resonated so much. I love you, friends. Truly, I love you… Last week […]
One Holy Night
With love and reverence for the true reason behind all the magic of today, I share this repost from last year. Merry Christmas, my dear friends… “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, […]
The True Heart of the Holidays
For days, it’s been laid on my heart to share this truth about the holidays. The only sticky wicket? I’m not sure what the truth is. The part I do know? I know clearly that the heart of our holidays do not center around the where, or who with, or how we celebrate the glory […]
The House on Hopewell
In our neck of the woods, there is a sweet little house. A sweet little house that blows the roof off exterior holiday illumination. This house fills its lawn with all shapes and sorts of light-up characters to appeal to every interest and current pop culture-infused trend. The thing is, this house is, by all […]
I’m Going to Know My Truth
A couple of weeks ago, I had an unprecedented victory of sorts. A small slice of bossness that no one else knew about, yet definitively worthy of a sizable inner happy dance. You see, it was a Friday, a rather grouchy, tired one, though one still buoyed by the promise of the weekend. I was flying around the house trying […]
Hoping On
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. I beg to differ; I think this instead defines the sole way we mommas justify not burying ourselves under the covers and attempting to hide from our families every morning. If I lie really still, maybe they won’t […]
Pop Quiz for Mommy’s Sanity
Pop quiz time! Let’s be honest, who among us doesn’t battle that nasty question rattling about in our minds, “Am I doing this right?!” The thing is, motherhood is all about making choices. I love the concept of moms being the CEOs of the household. Because it’s so true, but mostly because it makes me […]
Have Courage and Be Kind
As with most things that are culturally-relevant, I’m a bit behind the game. As in, entire world-wide trends will come and go, and I’ll miss them. Or an earthquake will happen next door, and I won’t notice. This usually results in me hollering at my husband, “Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” He’s all, […]
For The Mommas Whose Hearts Hurt
Last week was a tad on the brutal side for me. You see, I had dedicatedly laid the ground work to rock my Mom of the Year title by volunteering to help with not one but BOTH of my kids’ class parties. Yup, silly things like work assignments, laundry piles, and Mommy’s sanity be darned! […]
