Making home mean more
By Guest Writer Gail from The Imperfect Housewife “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29.18 Do you ever lose sight of why you do what you do? Being a homemaker, a mother, a wife, isn’t always an easy task. We wear so many [...]
Hey guys! We have news!! or, to say it another way! Yep, we are thrilled to report that we are expecting another blessing! We are thankful for this new gift – knowing that it is God who gives “every good gift” (James 1:17)! And this is indeed a good gift! BTW – I wish I [...]

I love my girl. My daughter. Saying those words is still a little surreal – even sixteen months past the event. But some nights the heaviness of that statement astounds me.

You know, I’ve really been a dud about decorating for Christmas. I feel ashamed of that fact, but even at the same time – I know why I have been like this. The fact is that decorating alone is not a lot of fun. My hubby, although wonderful, isn’t a “decorating” kind of guy. He [...]

Cookie No. [...]

It’s kind of a bummer. Rarely are parties planned (unless it’s teasers like “Over the Hill” parties) and as you add children [...]
Read an interesting article by Stacy McDonald over at Your Sacred Calling here today about family traditions. Specifically, she discusses how her family enjoys specific traditions and the bonding effect that it has had on their lives. On the flip side though, she emphasizes how Christians must be careful that our traditions are not empty [...]
Anytime that I have five minutes to type, it’s always going to go straight to the heart of the matter. I love my family. Sometimes it almost HURTS how much I love them. I didn’t know my heart could swell to such a degree. At this moment, I’m typing away and my husband and Little [...]
