Hi Mom, I have another delicious recipe to share with you. I wanted to make a soup that tasted like an enchilada, had quinoa in it, and was made in the slow cooker. Done, done, and done. You place everything in the slow cooker. Turn it on, walk away, and come back later to the most delicious dinner your family has had in ages. I'm telling you, make this tonight. You'll thank me! Make sure you run your quinoa under cold water to rinse it off before using. Rinse and then shake the excess water ... [keep reading]
Finding the Light in Halloween
As a Christian mom, Halloween has always been the hardest day for me to figure out. Fresh out of seminary, I was full of facts and hundreds of reasons to ignore the day, so in my first years of mothering, that’s what we did. I just acted like nothing was going on. Of course, as the kids grew older, that plan went out the window. As early as preschool, they knew something was up. ... [keep reading]
How to Make Hosting Easier During the Holidays
Hi Mom, With the holidays right around the corner, you might be thinking ahead to hosting get-togethers with your friends and family. I've discovered ways to welcome others into my home and not let stress get the best of me. Here's my story: I’m convinced I have a house-shaped heart. Creating a welcoming atmosphere in a home (park, backyard, or church) for family and friends is my love language. Does that mean I have a perfectly kept house and I’m a perfect hostess? Far from it. Come on ... [keep reading]
How to Tell Your Child About the Brave Women of the Bible
Hi Mom, What Bible stories captured your attention as a child? The stories dramatized on Sunday school felt boards often featured Noah and his ark, David and Goliath, and Paul traveling on his missionary journeys. And rightly so! These stories depict giants of our faith. But the Bible also elevates women—faith-filled adventurers who lead, make brave decisions, and risk everything to follow God. Miriam was one of those courageous women of the Bible. Growing up as a slave girl, Miriam ... [keep reading]
Is Your Spouse Stuck with Your Leftovers?
Hi, Mom— Have you ever felt like this with your husband? Read below. The silence was so heavy it pressed on my heart like a vise. I would sit at the dinner table and inwardly fume at the imperfections I felt existed in the man at the head of our table. Hearing him rise and leave in the morning turned to relief for me. It gave my mind a break from evaluating the reasons we weren’t seeing eye to eye or why our time together often turned into conflict. Was I falling out of love with the ... [keep reading]
Here’s How to Dedicate Your Daughter to God
Hi Mom, My husband Jonathan and I want to talk to you today about daughters. We know them well because we have four of our own. With more than 13,505 combined days of parenting girls under our belts, we can honestly say that raising Alena, Kaitlyn, and our twins Camryn and Olivia has dramatically changed our world…for the better! Parenting a houseful of girls has caused us to take a deeper look at why God gave these special girls to us and how He intends us to operate as His children and ... [keep reading]

Did You Know Your Child’s Faith Depends on God?
Hi Mom, I'd like to share something very important with you. As a mother, one of my deepest wishes is my children will have a relationship with their heavenly father beyond my teachings. I don’t want them to know about Jesus only by the stories I or their Sunday school teachers tell them. I want them to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Due to their age, we say bedtime and mealtime prayers together. We read their children’s Bible and I do my best to shed light on how Jesus works in ... [keep reading]
5 Things You Can Learn from Parents Who Homeschool Their Kids
Hi Mom, While you’re feeling fresh and excited for the start of a new school year, I’d like to offer a Christian Public Service Announcement for your consideration: Every Christian parent should homeschool this year. And every year. Before you start drafting an essay in the comments about the value of various other educational choices, let me explain (for the record, I homeschooled my own kids in preschool and pre-K, they now attend a private Christian school for elementary, and I went ...
