A Convicting Read: The High Calling of Motherhood Book Review {And Giveaway!}

March 27, 2017

A couple months back, I was approached by Ambassador International to be a part of a book review tour they were launching for Chimene Shipley Dupler’s The High Calling of Motherhood. Being a busy blogger and book author myself, I’m not exactly in the business of reviewing books, but the title jumped out at me […]

The Do’s and Dont’s of Comforting a Mom After a Miscarriage – Guest Post by Lisa from The Family Road Map

March 6, 2017

My heart danced when my dad made a baby bed out of wood for my dolls. All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was to be a mamma. In time I would learn that God and I were not on the same page. His timing was not my timing when it came to […]

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, […]

It’s Not a Competition, Mama, We are All on the Same Team

May 23, 2016

I’m gonna be honest. There are moments of each and every day when I do not feel like I’m good enough. The voices I allow in my head tell me that I will never be, have or do what others seem to succeed so easily at. The blogs I read, the Facebook posts I see, […]

A Different Perspective During National Adoption Month Series – Linda’s Story

November 20, 2015

I love children dearly. I have taught several hundred in classrooms to read, write, add and subtract, and to love learning. But I have never had any of my own naturally, nor have I adopted. But I am an adopted daughter of God, born naturally to wonderful earthly parents back in 1947. God adopted me […]

When You’ve Got Too Much on Your Plate

September 11, 2015

School started this week. I have a second grader and a full-day kindergartener in two different schools with one homeschooled preschooler still at home. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for nearly eight years, and I’m now adjusting to the change of mommy seasons. It seemed like not long ago, I had nothing but babies and […]

The Thrills and Frills of a First-Time Pregnant Mom – Guest Post by Joanna

August 3, 2015

My first pregnancy was about a decade ago. Yet, I can still remember how joyful it was when I saw my baby for the first time, holding her in my arms, while we make each other warm – my body heat on her skin, her presence on my soul. Truly, it’s a major milestone for […]

Teaching Your Kids Online Reputation Management – Guest Post by Amy-Rose Lane

July 12, 2015

For those of us who grew up in the prehistoric dark ages, the internet is still a fairly new thing. Like Ernest Hemingway describing bankruptcy, we became web-literate gradually then suddenly. As if overnight the whole world and their granddaddy started using social media. It’s a fantastic method to easily share our lives with friends and […]

You’re Not Alone: A Special Needs Mom’s Reflection on Fear and Motherhood – Guest Post by Katie from Wonderfully Made

May 31, 2015

I was a senior in high school when I walked into school wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt accented by a basketball belly, a strand of pearls, and holding a five pound dumbbell in one hand and a baby doll in the other. It was career day and we had been told we could dress […]

Living in the Shadow of Being a Birth Mother

May 17, 2015

In honor of birth mother’s day on 5/9 and Mother’s Day on 5/10, I wrote a guest post for the Portland Moms Blog. I am a wife of ten years, and stay-at-home mother to three little ones under eight. From an outsider’s perspective, I appear to be just an average Christian church-going, minivan-driving, play date-attending […]
