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, […]

God is in Control of Your Family Size; You Just Have to Obey – An Unnamed Mother’s Story

May 24, 2015

I am not a woman who should have a large amount of children.  In fact, I never wanted more than two.  One is a lonely child, so two for a playmate.  After my first two boys, I had to try for a girl.  I would push it for one more baby.  Only the baby was […]

Striking a Balance Between Technology and Life – Guest Post by Corinne from Alternate Tutelage

March 15, 2015

How does one turn off technology and turn on life? The truth is we can’t, at least not completely. Technology has become so integrated with day to day living that they seem inseparable. I wouldn’t be communicating with you if it was not for technology. Sunsets are no longer just sunsets, not when we have […]

Changed by Motherhood – Guest Post by Misty from Finding Joy in the Journey

February 22, 2015

I always wanted to be a mom; there was no doubt about that in my mind. However, motherhood changed me in many ways. I had dreams, expectations, and plans. Yet, none of those “worked out” the way I thought they would. I had planned on waiting until after college to have our first child. Yet, […]

Don’t Give Up, Mama: Guest Post for Creative Home Keeper

January 6, 2015

It would be so easy to give up. To throw in this towel of motherhood and let someone else fight my domestic wife and mommy battles. The world tells me that I am not enough if I am just a mom. That I could be more productive and more valuable to society if I spent […]

Influential Relationships – Michelle’s Story

April 24, 2014

I was a child of the 70’s when there was a recession in the land. Many kids came from broken homes and many others had both parents working outside the home. In one way, these kids were alike in that they had to basically take care of themselves until a parent was available. This was […]
