Well, the kind of laboring I’m talking about here certainly isn’t childbirth! This kind of labor involves renewing your mind to the truth of the gospel. It involves taking [...]
I’m in the process of writing a snarky post about the trials of motherhood. I just can’t get the wording right. Sometimes words just spew out like vomit (TMI? I know). Sometimes the words flow like a river. And sometimes the words get dumped out like a 10,000 piece lego set, and know it’s my [...]

You survived. The whirlwind of madness that swirls around Christmas has passed. Finally, a well deserved chance to sit back and relax. Park yourself in a comfy chair by the fire with a good book and a cup of cider… you earned it! Not! Glitter, tinsel, and shreds of holiday packaging creep out of every [...]
Christmas is loud. Everything is decorated. Your minivan has a wreath on the front and you put antlers on your husbands truck.. but not REAL antlers; you’d NEVER kill a deer!
