“Mother”: A Sweetly Delusional Song about Motherhood

“Mother”: A Sweetly Delusional Song about Motherhood

Yo!  Life ain’t ho-hum When you spend your days as “mum” Just wipe that tiny bum While Sally sucks her thumb Hollah!   Okay, so maybe dropping the beat isn’t exactly in my talent department.  Or remotely in the same zip code. I am an excellent bum wiper, though.  They like the way I work it…Mom Diggety… I got to… Read More

Crop that Photo

Crop that Photo

Some people say editing photos is unnecessary. I say, “Hallelujah!”.  Bring.it.on! Because the ability to crop photos is a gift from God.  Right up there with sunsets.  And caffeine. Allow me to explain: You can have this on your wall… Or this: Enough said. Note to self: buy Bean bigger, more wedgie-proof jeans.

Mantacular Homemade Granola Bars {approved by Manly Men}

My hubby has been away for the past five days riding his 4-wheeler in the mountains of Kentucky.  I have no doubt that there’s been an ungodly amount of farting, burping, grunting and other blatant displays of manhood going on down in those parts. It’s a little scary what can happen when 8 grown men assemble in the hills where… Read More

5 Things You Should Know About Spanx

A Rambling Post About Nothing Much

A Rambling Post About Nothing Much

It has only been a million years since I blogged anything deep or thought-provoking, and today’s post won’t do anything for the average depth of post {re: shallow}, because what lies below is a compilation of random, completely disconnected snippets to give you a nutshell glimpse, albeit a substantial nutshell, of what’s been going on in our crazy little world… Read More

The Evolution of {an unwanted} Design

The Evolution of {an unwanted} Design

While you may find this hard to believe, what with my mad design skills and all {cough cough}, I occasionally design something for a client that doesn’t inspire shrieks of joy and spontaneous outbursts of the Harlem Shake. Sometimes they hate it, but graciously say, “I’m…just…not feelin’ it, sorry”. And then there are those times that I design something that… Read More

12 Things I Have Learned While Potty Training A Boy

1.  Do not crouch down beside the gunslinger, no matter how much encouragement and assistance you feel it necessary to deliver.  High velocity urine ricochets off open toilet seats.  And burns eyeballs. 2.  The perimeter outside which half-read magazines could lay open beside the loo, in wait for the next 2 second bathroom break, has increased by 3 feet. 3. … Read More

Vacation Rambling

Turns out we really love camping.  Our children actually sleep well in a tent.  Late, even, despite noisy 2 year old neighbors who rise at the butt-crack of dawn. We also happen to work magic on a tripod grill over open flame.  Who knew flour tortillas, salami, cheese, peppers, tomato and chutney would marry in such an epic way. My… Read More

We spend so much time waiting to feel ready... mor We spend so much time waiting to feel ready...
more confident, more equipped, more certain.
But God often asks a simpler question:
What’s already in your hand?

Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
And obedience doesn’t require certainty—just trust.

🎙️ Episode 011 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live:
 What's In Your Hand? | The Power of Small Beginnings

While we’re raising them, God is still raising us. While we’re raising them, God is still raising us.

Listen in on my conversation with my daughter, Alathea, and we talk about apology, repair, grace, and what it looks like to grow together as a family instead of pretending we have it all figured out.
