Happy Mother’s Day
One thing I’ve learned as an older mom is to know my limits. So for today, here is a treasured picture of my kidlets.
Have You Ever Had a Green Smoothie?
I found green smoothies a few years ago. When I first tried them, I offered the drink to my kids and they ran off to hid their heads in the pillows. I had to pay my kids 25 cents to try them. Since then, my youngest and I fight over who gets the last sip. […]
Holidays Can Be Hard
It would be pretty impossible to miss the fact that Easter is right around the corner. Advertisements are chocked full of Easter bunnies and frooffy dresses. Blogs and tweets are full of Bible verses speaking of hope and life. A Hope that gives us all abundant living. Yet, this is a small place in my […]
Happiest Mom, Part 2: Writing the Book
When I found out that IMP3RfeCT Mom was selected to be part of the blog book tour, not only did I want to ask Meagan Francis a myriad of questions about Happiest Mom but I HAD to ask her about the process of writing it. However, I had to moderate my excitement that I was […]

Growing An Oak
Are you concerned about one of your kids? Sometimes I worry about a certain character trait in one of my kids or a behavior issue in another. Recently I was reminded about the farmer and his level of patience he needs to produce a crop. He doesn’t grow anything overnight and what he does grow […]
Making Mistakes
When life slows down for a few minutes here and there, I ponder my kids and my parenting. When I was a very young mom, I thought I could “mold” my kids into perfect children. Well, almost twenty two years later I laugh about this lie that I believed. I also think about what I […]
