I Wouldn’t Want to Live Life Any Other Way – Lisa’s Story

January 30, 2017

Motherhood is full of disappointments and surprises.  It’s hard to let go of our expectations and embrace what we have been given.  It’s been a frustrating and an exciting journey, and I do my best to trust God. I did not plan on waiting until I was in my forties before having my first child, […]

8 Parenting Hacks From Large Families That ALL Parents Can Use

October 24, 2016

I wouldn’t consider myself a ‘mom of many,’ but just a few years ago my three kids were all home and I had to keep them busy and alive from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I can scarcely remember those days, and honesty I’m not exactly sure how I did it. Even today with two of […]

I just finished reading Jen Hatmaker‘s For the Love. If you haven’t borrowed it from the library, bought your own, or stole a friend’s copy, I highly recommend you do so, STAT. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Okay, it was probably when I read her last book! Anyway, the whole […]
