I’ve carried three babies to term and have given birth to each. And as of Tuesday, I feel as if another pregnancy has resulted in the birth of a 14.7 ounce 6 x 9 inch baby book. Mother and baby are doing well, although the three year gestation of this one was a doozy. But she’sContinue reading “So, I released my first book this week.”

Podcast Interview Link
It’s been quite the day around here with the launch of my first book, Brownie Crumbs. I’ll fill you in on more details later, but for now, I wanted to share this link with you. This is a podcast interview I did with Nancy Carmichael of Logospost.com. I share about several messages from the bookContinue reading “Podcast Interview Link”
It’s My Book’s Birthday!
Today, after three years of labor, my book has been born! (Phew!) I’m so excited to announce that my first book, Brownie Crumbs and Other Life Morsels, is now available on Amazon in paperback, and for the Kindle. You can find it here: Also, I had a book trailer made to give everyone aContinue reading “It’s My Book’s Birthday!”
All the feels.
There’s this phrase that young and cool people say now-a-days. When someone is feeling really emotional, good or bad, they say they have “all the feels.” Because I am not a cool person (and my young-ness is debatable, at a week shy of 39), I don’t often (ever) use this phrase. I tend to be pretty traditional.Continue reading “All the feels.”
One of those days.
Yesterday, before the sunrise, my oldest child stood in front of his middle school peers and shared his story. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) group meets once a week in the cafeteria before the first bell of the school day. One Wednesday each month they combine with another middle school FCA in town. They join their groupsContinue reading “One of those days.”
Cruise Control
“What on earth are you doing?” my dad asked from the passenger seat. “Did you have your cruise control set just now?” I sheepishly shrugged and admitted that I had. The clicking sound the brake pedal made when you pushed it to disengage the cruise control had given me away. Sneaky little tattletale! “I like to setContinue reading “Cruise Control”
On Dreaming Small.
Three years ago I wrote the blog post below entitled, “I’m Going to Dream Small This Year.” Today I reread it and decided to post it again. This is a major spoiler alert (it’s my blog, so I can spoil it if I want) but it’s about faithfully doing the little things in life. About dreamingContinue reading “On Dreaming Small.”
See Now.
Why do I have to use the scissors to cut the tape off this dispenser? It’s designed to tear off easily on these little pointy things. Annoying. Should I wrap these gifts in one box or separate them so he has two presents to open? Where did I put the scissors? How do I alwaysContinue reading “See Now.”
Gratitude through Gritted Teeth
I knew there was a fee to park at the venue where I was taking my two young daughters to the Disney Princesses on Ice show. But I forgot. Not until I was driving in to the large lot did it dawn on me that I had no cash. And they don’t accept credit cards for parking.Continue reading “Gratitude through Gritted Teeth”
Finding Sense In The Common.
I pull the spoon out of the dishwasher and stack it with its fellow tablemates in the drawer. My motions are robotic. I do this same thing almost every single day. It is such a common task that I don’t even have to concentrate on what I am doing. I push the clothes into theContinue reading “Finding Sense In The Common.”
