The past month has been pretty special: birthdays,

The past month has been pretty special: birthdays, a wedding shower, fun times with the kids and grandkids, a writing retreat. In the middle of it, I’ve been crazy productive: I’ll hit 30K words on my first novel this weekend. We are blessed. ♥️🙌

When we graduated our last of eight children in th

When we graduated our last of eight children in the spring, it didn’t fully sink in. This summer I realized the reality would hit on the first day of a new year, when there were no binders to buy, no books to gather, no lesson plans to be made.

Today is that day.

Last night I dreamed about teaching. I belonged to a community of students, other women, and even a little white dog that was almost otherworldly. As with most dreams, I didn’t hold onto the details of the storyline when I awoke, but at the end I was crying, not with sadness, but with deep contentment. I felt so much love for the people around me.

In real life, I’m in a cabin on a writing retreat, an appropriate place to mark the transition between thirty years of homeschooling (not a typo) and life beyond. Although I’ve written nonfiction for years, I’m working on my first novel. With nonfiction, I submitted book proposals with an introduction and three sample chapters and then signed a contract to write the book. With fiction, I need to write the whole thing and pray a publisher wants to buy it. It’s a walk of faith, but I keep plugging away. Today I’ll pass the 23K mark of the 80K words I need.

For those of you beginning a fresh school year, what are you most excited about? For those enjoying your retirement from homeschooling or parenting students, did you (or will you) pursue new interests with your extra time?

Mamas, do you realize the impact of your presence

Mamas, do you realize the impact of your presence and legacy in your children’s lives? Losing my mother on my birthday—when she was the age I am now—left a void.

Join me today @incourage as I share my thoughts on dedicating this year to my mother, to living my best year — our best year. And feel free to join the conversation!

The yearly @incourage retreat is one of the highlights of my year. At surface level, I relax, recharge, maybe get a hint of a tan. But face time with my fellow contributors always takes me deep. Love these ladies sooooo much! ♥️

Our family will celebrate two milestones in May: o

Our family will celebrate two milestones in May: our youngest child will graduate from high school and, after 30 consecutive years, I’ll retire from my job as a homeschool mom. This also means we’re in our final sports season with a child at home. We’ve cheered for our children at hundreds of baseball and softball games, as well as countless track and cross-country meets. So much is coming to a close.

To call it the end of an era feels like an understatement.

Moms of seniors, join me today @incourage: https://incourage.me/?p=231886 or link to (in) articles in IG bio.

Mother/son date night for the opening of A Soldier

Mother/son date night for the opening of A Soldier’s Play @thefoxtheatre!

I’ve seen a lot of @broadwayatlanta productions over the years but honestly, this is one of the best. A quote in the program sums it up: “The play’s message is to assassinate hate, because you can’t hate anything you understand.”

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. See it #atthefox until Sunday, April 2nd.

I recently devoted two weeks of my life (literally) to painting our dark kitchen cabinets white.

One day in — when I realized I’d need minimum SIX coats (some areas have seven, eight, nine . . . 🤷‍♀️) I questioned WHY IN THE WORLD I’d decided to do this. I just wanted to quit (obviously not an option).

My husband, who joined me on nights and weekends to degloss and prime, said (and I quote), “We can do anything.” I had no idea how powerful those words could be from the one (lowercase o) who knows me best.

Encouragement is an outrageously powerful thing. I’ll bet someone in your life could use some.

When our pipes burst on Christmas Day, we discovered just how wonderful our neighbors really are.

Hoping your neighbors know they can count on you and actually telling them are two different things.

Love your neighbors, y’all!! 😍
