My mothering journey is unique in that I have had a chance for some semblance of a “do-over” or what might be better described as a, “try, try again!” When the youngest of our four eldest children turned seven-and-a-half, we had the first of what became our final three. As a result, I’ve benefited from…
I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for inviting me and my family over and allowing us to see the messy imperfections of your home. There have been times when another mom will invite me and my family over and her house is spotless! I’m sure you probably know one…

Hello, my name is Kelly and I have a repeating problem. It started about 10 years ago. I didn’t realize it was a problem until recently. Maybe you have this problem, too. Consider these rhetorical questions: Do you find yourself giving the same instructions to your children over and over? Does it seem your voice…
As a child, I don’t remember a day where my mom was not there. I am told my mom had to put me in a home daycare for a week after I was born, so she could transition from day shift to night shift, but I have no memory of that time. I was home…
My husband and I have become Uncle Duane and Auntie Des to many of our friend’s children. It is a role in life that we love! I was reading a scripture passage in Matthew and it caused me to think about some things. “Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay…
