3 Things You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child (and Yourself) Overcome Fear and Worry
Last Saturday I did my usual: get up early, go to the gym, and head to the grocery store to grab a few things. I like to go to Fred Meyer because it has a Starbucks, and I get to enjoy my coffee while leisurely rolling my cart down the aisles. Usually no one out is out Saturday mornings, so it feels ...

Do You Have 10 Minutes to Spend on Yourself?
It starts from the minute we hold our babies in our arms. Our needs become second as we wake up in the middle of the night to feed, rock, and soothe.

Finding God’s Purpose in Every Season
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time ...

Trusting God’s Love When Yours Falls Short
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I think it’s nearly impossible for us to give our kids all the things they need. I often wonder, “Did I give them enough hugs today?

The Christian Mommy’s Guide to Loving the Hard to Love
Have you ever known a person that was hard to love? I have. Quite a few, in fact. There was the lady in front of me at the grocery store the other day. She was mad about everything. She complained about the selection of breakfast cereals, the speed of the cashier, and the smell at the store. I ... [keep reading]
Is God Romantic?
It’s February, mamas! You know what that means…Valentine’s Day. It’s seven days away. Just enough time to run to Walmart and grab some chocolates and those sweet little Valentine cards for your kids to pass out at their classroom parties. Truth be told, V-day candy-coats my heart in pink, ... [keep reading]
3 Ways You Can Beat the Winter Blues
Every year I fight the blues for two months straight. It’s that time when Christmas decorations have been packed away, but the light of spring hasn’t arrived yet. Sunlight is limited, gray is the theme color, and cold temperatures make me dream of a tropical vacation. (If you live in a ... [keep reading]
Could a New Morning Routine Help You?
I’ll be honest. I was never really a morning person. I didn’t have a morning routine and had no problem staying up until all hours of the night. A few years later, we had a newborn who barely slept through the night, so I became the sleep-whenever-I-could person. And then I became the tired mom of ... [keep reading]
