Moms. We’re all busy. Perhaps some are busier than others, or perhaps it only seems that way because your busy doesn’t look like my busy and vice versa. In our busyness, we sometimes let things slide–things that aren’t demanding our attention right at the moment. Like prayer. As Christian moms, we know we should be […] Read more…
Today, I wanted to just sit and chat with you. I hope you have your cuppa joe handy so that we can sip our coffee (or tea) and get to know one another better! I have a question I wanted to ask. Are you a rule follower or a rule breaker? I’m a rule follower. […] Read more…
“Life is an adventure! Enjoy the ride.” I can still hear Brad Palmer emphatically stating, all with a smile. This was the first of many occasions I would hear him make the statement while we were in South Africa. In this moment, we were sitting inside our Land Rover, which was not roving but stranded […] Read more…

I am a sucker for romantic movies. Girl meets guy and after years of dating she suddenly realizes that he isn’t the one. A timely realization after a chance weekend encounter with another guy. As fate would have it, they are perfectly suited for each other and as the story goes, they live happily ever […] Read more…
Don’t ask me why, but the other day I was thinking about whales. Weird. I know. I considered how they come up for air, but they know that they are going back down to the deep. (It is said that sperm whales can hold their breath for up to 90 minutes!) It may be a […] Read more…
Mashed Potatoes are not my cooking specialty. My potatoes are always lumpy. I even have a stand mixer and have allowed those potatoes to beat and beat and beat, and they are still lumpy. Therefore, I resorted to instant potatoes. One day, I was preparing those instant potatoes in the microwave. Very carefully, I took […] Read more…
What have you always dreamed of doing? Like, when you were a little girl, playing make believe–envisioning what you would be–what was that thing?
