A Simple Christmas
I am having a hard time getting everything done this Christmas season. The tree is up, but there are no ornaments on it. The presents (for the most part) are purchased, but none are wrapped. Goods for baking lie on the kitchen counter waiting to be mixed and made into something yummy and sweet for […]
Gratitude: The Lost Love Language
In this season of giving thanks, we are all hyperaware of the things for which we are thankful. But, in a silly conversation with my kids the other day, I realized how much we really take for granted. We were discussing the difference in humans from other mammals, and we started talking about opposable thumbs. […]
It’s Not Gonna Be Easy….
I am not going to lie or pretend. I have been struggling lately. While most of the things I face every day are “good problems”, there are some seriously stressful and worrisome things in there as well. I have struggled with just carrying the weight of these things, but also with feeling guilty about struggling. […]
God Is So Good! Celebrating 2 Years…
I cannot believe two years have passed so quickly! They say time flies when you are having fun. Well, I say time also flies when you are working your fanny off and having fun doing it! About two and a half years ago, I got a diagnosis for a somewhat serious autoimmune liver disease. It […]
Life Is Not Always Easy…
I told my husband that I just wished the whole month of August could fall off the calendar. And I meant it! It seems that every bad thing in our lives circulates around this time of year. It was 9 years ago this month that my Daddy committed suicide; just less than a year later […]
“Are you on the bus?!” Reflections from Honduras…
The first thing I noticed was not the heat, which I had mentally prepared myself to withstand. It was the houses, and I use that term loosely, as the plane made it’s final descent to land. It didn’t help my feelings any that the airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras is listed as the #2 most difficult […]
Wave Upon Wave
He stood there with his hands on his hips watching the water like a bird searching for a fish. The ocean was rough because of an impending storm and dark clouds gathered in the distance. He knew that the conditions weren’t great for splashing in the ocean, but we had just arrived and the kids […]

Am I Enough?
Raise your hand if you feel like the perfect mother! That’s what I thought. Crickets. Why do we feel that kind of pressure when none of us can live up to the hype?! I blame social media. Yes, that devil Facebook has us all believing as we scroll that everyone else has is all together. […]
The Reflection of Jesus
Every year we have an egg hunt at our farm. We have done it since our daughter was about 2 years old, I suppose. She will be 8 tomorrow. (How did that happen?!) We invite family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and through the years, neighbors have brought friends, friends have brought other family members, and so […]
