The Pink Room

  Two of my daughters got married within two months of one another. It was a crazy time, but after the dust settled, there was an empty room with pink walls that had been mostly hidden by posters and pictures. I also inherited my aunt’s old-fashioned bed and matching furniture, which perfectly matched the pink

The True Cautionary Tale of Bark and Leap

  One winter day, a homeschool family called. They’d tired of examining a frog and mudpuppy another family found in their bag of ice fishing minnows. If we didn’t take the specimens next, they’d be experimental bait. When I saw the unfortunate pair held up in their transparent bag of clear water, utterly vulnerable as

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Do You Tend to Worry?

“God is too wise to be mistaken. God is too wise to be unkind. When you can’t trace His hand, that’s when you must learn to trust His heart.” —Charles H. Spurgeon See that, Mama? That’s where faith and belief come in. So, you can’t really “see” Him lately, you say. It’s OK; He is

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Do You Need Rest?

Hey Mama, I heard you were feeling under the weather. Being sick is such a drain not only on the body, but emotionally, too. Things that normally take very little effort seem monumental. Tasks that should be done in an hour take three. Kids become burdensome; joy is hard to muster. It’s temporary, Mama. It

Maybe You Should Give Up

  Picture this scenario: You’re getting ready for an important engagement. You’ve run through the mental checklist. Kids fed? Check. Teeth brushed? Check. Shoes on? Check. Everyone’s cooperating and things are running smoothly for a change. You begin to exhale the proverbial breath you didn’t realize you had been holding. Aaah. You grab your bag,

Homeschool Moms Deserve Grace Too

  I know I can’t be the only mom that has a set list of things I must do every single day. I also know I can’t be the only mom that falls short of completing this list, more often than not.  Get husband out the door Make sure I have my quiet time before

For the Brokenhearted

  I can still remember the feeling. The hopelessness of it all. How I felt almost frozen. I was inadequate, ill prepared, and just a bit angry. I didn’t know what to do or how to act. My first response was to put myself to bed; I wanted to hide underneath my covers and sleep

Stop Stressing Your To-Do List

  It’s midnight and I can feel myself fading, finally snug enough in my cocoon of blankets to drift off to sleep.  The sound of snoring (is that my husband or the dog?) can’t even stop this slumber now, as I tumble deep into – wait, did someone say dog? I never did bathe the
