10 Things I’m Loving {January 2019}

Hey friends! Do any of you remember the "old days" of blogging? You know, back when people just told you about their days, their family adventures, fun traditions, and just normal life stuff? I was talking with Dawn Camp earlier this month about our yearning to get back to that in our online spaces.  I want to share my heart. I want to offer you resource suggestions. I want to provide you with tools you can use. I want to encourage you and challenge you ... but most of all I just want this ... [Read More]

{february calendar now available!}

Oh friends! I am excited about the girl moms prayer calendars for the next couple of months! (Okay, who am I kidding ... I'm excited about the calendars every month.) Do you get yours? If not, now is a great time to subscribe! Every month I create a Scripture-based prayer calendar for moms to pray for their daughters. We pray Monday through Friday (and use the weekends to catch up or pray the prayers for others). I've been creating these resources since 2015 which is just unbelievable to ... [Read More]

Resource Recommendation: (in)courage Devotional Bible

People ask me all the time about Bibles. Usually they ask me what Bible they should get. I know a lot of people have one answer they give to everyone.

I've learned that different Bibles can serve different purposes in different seasons of life. In fact, I've discovered, for myself anyway, I use a multiple Bibles almost every day for different ...

Love Well. Live Full. A Plan for 2019

Hi friends! 2018 was not my best year on record. And I think the lack of writing here is evidence of that. I spent a lot of time discouraged and feeling a basically overwhelmed in almost every area of life. We had so many great things happen last year ... but my heart and mind were in turmoil so much of the time. As I began praying about 2019, I realized I needed to go back to the basics. By that I simply mean, I needed to refocus my heart and mind on those foundational things that God has ... [Read More]

What I’m Reading {January 2019}

If we were meeting for coffee or you dropped by my house one Tuesday morning, there is one thing I'm sure of — we'd talk about books. Even if you said you weren't a reader {which would, of course, make me a little sad but nevertheless}, I'd tell you I know a book you'd love. I used to share this sort of post regularly and then life got crazy last year and I barely wrote anything. So, I thought we'd get this book loving party started again in 2019. I often spend January reading one or two of ... [Read More]

{in case no one has told you lately} You Are a GREAT Mom!

You are a GREAT mom! I'm serious. I know you may not feel like it's true. But it is. And maybe today you need to be reminded. Because really what we all need is a little less mom guilt and a lot more mom grace, right? So consider this your Thursday morning hug from me — So, in case no one has told you today — You are a GREAT mom! If you were sitting here with me and we were on our second cup of coffee and past all the small talk, I'd ask you this one question: What are you ... [Read More]
