  My mom recently sent me a picture of a large mason jar filled with dirt. The dirt had been swept up (by her) from the hardwood floors of my parents’ farmhouse.  She wasn’t commenting on the color or texture of the dirt. It was plain Missouri hill dirt. And I knew exactly what it

Hey Mama Monday: Don’t Forget You Have Strengths

  Hey Mama, Just wanted to stop in and deliver a quick message as we run out the door to fellowship today. It’s ironic. I don’t know; I just found it funny and had to tell you. You know how you have been kind of down on yourself about certain things lately? You look at

Piles of Learning

  I happen to be one of those mamas that thoroughly enjoys reclining at the end of a long day of cleaning to enjoy a spotless house.  Of course, this will only occur for 5-10 minutes before the next toy box dump or full sink of dishes starts all over again!  As moms, we need
