It’s not a pleasant thought: moving across the country. I have never done it (although The Hubs has, multiple times, as a kid). I don’t see how people can do it and still stay sane (are you thinking what I’m thinking? lol). WOW. Before I had kids, I moved across the state… WITH kids, I […]

And recycled garbage bags- […]

Some of you guys are already talking about Christmas shopping! I agree, it’s never too early to shop, for Christmas or birthdays or whatever.

September 15, 2010
When you mention the word “fasting,” most people think of abstaining from food, which is understandable. But fasting is, essentially, simple abstention. It can be abstaining from eating types of foods, or from watching television, or from magazines, or whatever. Those things all have their place, but what does God say about fasting? From Isaiah […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
