Christmas season is a lovely time of the year and it’s also a hard time. Just recently I wrote a post about showing the importance of telling others that we are thankful for them and that they matter. Who do you need to spend time with today? Please join me today at my friends…
There were heavy sighs followed by eye rolls. I didn’t think my request was that demanding, but apparently I had pushed too far. Again. “Please? If you just smile nicely and look like you love each other, this will be over fast, and I won’t ask for any more!” That promise worked just long…
This post is for the discouraged mom who had a rough day with the kids and feels frustrated with herself. Please know I understand. It’s the rough days that help us remember that we can’t do it without God. At this very moment as I write this post, I’m struggling with my own inner…

One of my favorite places to go with my kids is the Butterfly Pavilion!! I am always amazed how beautiful each and every one is. Each time I go I look for the perfect butterfly to take a picture of. I search for the one that doesn’t have a damage wing and is sitting…
