Throwback Thursday Stories: (in)RL #tbt
Saturday is the day for this year's (in)RL conference! My house is in the middle of the I'm-about-to-have-company whirlwind; I even repainted a bathroom. {Do you nest like a woman in her 9th month of pregnancy when you invite company to your home?} I love this shot...
Happy Easter from My Family to Yours!
less of me, more of Him
This Easter week I've pondered how much simpler and fuller my life would be if I focused less on me and more on Him. I stopped to shop for a new Easter dress for myself, then remembered I'm two days behind on my seven day Bible plan, which covers the final chapters of...

Download April’s Desktop Calendar!

Surprised by Motherhood
I don't remember dreaming of my wedding day as a child, but surely I shared the same fantasies as most little girls. By high school, my focus shifted to academics. What college would I attend? What job would I choose? Marriage and motherhood simmered on a back...
