It was a couple of months ago that Megan and I connected. She started hanging out in our community reading and commenting on posts. I had to go find out more about her and so I went over to her blog to visit. I read a few of her posts and my heart melted.…
A couple years ago I decided I wanted to be more intentional about starting Christmas season traditions with the kids. One of the things we started doing was an Advent countdown and I got an Advent bedtime story book to read each night. Then made note cards for the countdown to tape on the wall,…
Today is a special post put together by myself and four other moms from our Community Writing Team. We come together to support Moms that are pregnant or have a newborn. We will start out with a Mom sharing a concern and we will share three supportive responses that are filled with encouragement from Moms…
We’d been home for a month with our newly adopted son after persevering through five years of emotional ups and downs in order to adopt him. We found him and lost him twice over a five year period, only to watch God finally outstretch His arm to give him back to us. I used to…
