The pleasure of what you enjoy is lost in wanting what you do not have. – My fortune cookie the other night So apparently God speaks through fortune cookies these days. He’s blindsiding me from every which way I’ll look. I am annoyed and grateful all at the same time.
Wishing this was my reality today…

The Super-Woman Epidemic: Part 2
For every Pretend Super-Woman, there are two or more women who fall into an entirely different category. We’ll call them Afraid to Try Women. The Afraid to Try Woman is intensely aware of her own inability to be Super-Woman. She knows that perfection is beyond her grasp – that her house will never be the
The Super-Woman Epidemic
There is a trend among American women. Actually, I can only attest to American women because theirs is the behavior that I have had the privilege [AKA exhausting burden] of observing most closely. It is that of the Super-Woman. The social media world has only perpetuated this epidemic because all of us normally average women
Another One for the Memory Books: Girls Weekend 2011
Three days. Five nights. All fun. My gals arrived at the airport at midnight on Wednesday night. I thought to myself as I was on my way to get them that I haven’t been out of my house past ten o’clock since…I’m not real sure. It felt a little strange, though. Christen was laughing that

My Hunk went out to pick up the birthday cake and returned with these… I was utterly and completely surprised. My kitchen has smelled like our wedding all week 🙂

Always There and All There Is
How much do you love those moments when Scripture reaches out, grabs your heart and pulls you down body and soul right into its blessed Truth?! I love it so much that I feel like I could jump and shout a little…and it’s 6:23 a.m. as I type. Do you know what that is? A
Just a day in the life…
Sometimes we FEEL like we are terrible mothers when really we are not. Sometimes [most of the time] there IS something we could be better at. I’m not the best playmate there ever was. I wasn’t even a great playmate when I was a child, to tell you the truth, but my girl LOVES to
