Parenting in HD

During last week’s sermon at our home church in Florida, Christ Fellowship, Pastor Tom Mullins shared some great, practical and godly words on parenting.
I love sharing great resources, so if you’d like to listen to the entire sermon, you can click HERE. Otherwise, just take a quick look at the following outline and maybe one of the [...]

Happy Anniversary to my Prince!

I couldn’t let today pass without wishing a Happy 6th Anniverary to my best friend, biggest supporter, partner in life, the father of my children, my prince, all I’ve ever dreamed of and everything I could never have known to hope for – my husband, Ricky!
I am so blessed to be on this journey of [...]

Is prayer a burden for you?

I just got back from enjoying a couple hours at the pool with a new friend here in Nashville who invited me and the kids to hang out with her this morning. Of course we stayed longer than we should have (it’s so hard to pull kids away from a pool!), so I was hurrying [...]

Happy Father’s Day

I hope each and every dad out there know what a special role God has equipped him for. I know holidays can often bring feelings of hurt, sadness and anger instead of the expected joy and celebration.
Regardless of the experience you have with your own father, I pray that you celebrate him today in the [...]

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

As I sit here trying to wrap up my day and prepare for tomorrow, I have “The Next Food Network Star” on in the background and I heard one of the contestants utter this quote. As someone who believes strongly in pursuing your passions, I love hearing others who are willing to do whatever it [...]

Sparkle Shoes

What is it about girls and sparkles? Everywhere I went today, some woman commented on her red sparkle shoes. Secretly, I think we all wish we could dress in bright polka dot shirts with striped tights, sparkle shoes and a ballerina top…or is that just me?
Like mother, like daughter.

The Hurried Path

I just had the priviledge of editing the June Newsletter for Intentional Moms and the last paragraph was so practical and poignant that I wanted to share it with you:
Wisdom says we prepare for tomorrow. Scripture says to pay attention to today since it is all we have been given and granted. We can actually [...]

Mommy…according to Britton

At church on Saturday night, they decided to ask the 3 year old’s to describe their mom’s in honor of Mother’s Day. Here’s what Britton gave to me when I picked him up…scarily accurate, from the mouth of my baby boy!

Scripture Memorization – Psalm 23

It’s Monday, so it’s Scripture Memorization time!
Today’s lesson is on teaching Psalm 23. It’s six verses, and typically I recommend a verse a week, but you can teach this to your kids in a month if you work on it at different times throughout your day. There is no tune to this, and feel free [...]

“Learning Time” vs. School

How is it that my kids love “learning time”, but don’t like the mention of school?
When they were little (a least littler than they are now!), I began “Learning Time” as a way to teach them at home without making it seem like a formal process. I spread a blanket on the ground, gather some [...]
