Hi! Thanks for stopping by! If I could sit for an hour or two and have coffee with you, these words written down here are much of what I would say. Mostly you would hear me say, "Me too. You are not crazy and you are definitely not the only one." It is my hope that these frail and honest words of mine wrap around your soul like a big ole' comfy blanket, and that you leave this space feeling a little more hope and encouragement.. and just a little less alone.

Mama finished up her classes today so alllll the holiday fun can finally commence. It’s pizza & Hallmark Christmas movie with friends night! ♥️🍕🎄

We got her first semester blue book exam results back and she did amazing in every subject except one. So her dad immediately sat down with her to work through the weak areas and come up with a daily plan to strengthen that subject so it doesn’t pose a roadblock to her educational pursuits down the road. I love that he cares - not just in word but in deed. I love watching him take the time and effort to be a good father. Not every man who fathers children chooses the path of being a dad. It makes me so proud of him because I know it’s becoming less and less of an easy thing as they grow older and the pull of life threatens to distract from what is the most important thing. Dads, we need you. Not just to earn a paycheck or to fix what broke but to be present and active and fully invested in their lives with your time and wisdom...and with your love. Maybe now more than ever. The world needs less men who create life and climb ladders and more men who are good leaders in their own home.

I thought I’d take part of this season and turn the spotlight on the gifts that can’t be bought - the true gifts in my life that can’t be fit under a tree. Today it’s my mom. The older I get the more I appreciate her presence in my life. The truth is, no matter how old we grow we never ever stop needing our parents and I am blessed that she is part of my life. Mom is one of the most giving and generous people I know...she’d give me her very last dollar keeping nothing for herself if she knew I needed it. She makes THE best soups, sandwiches, and salads you’ve ever had in ALL your life, we do nothing but laugh when we are together, and if I’ve ever witnessed someone truly getting better and better with age, it’s her. She is “finishing well”, which counts the very most. ♥️ Challenging you to name someone who is a gift to your life this holiday season and start counting up your gifts before Christmas morning even arrives. 🎄🎁

What I came up with to keep my kids from being bored and lazy over the holidays and to keep this mama less stressed! They can earn extra Christmas money by choosing tasks to complete one by one until they’re gone and then I’ll make new ones! 🎄 I’m always saying to them, “I’m not just handing over money to you because you want it. This is real life, I’m not an ATM, and you’re gonna have to earn what you get.”

How many cups of decaf. coffee and hot chocolate will it take to get me through a research paper on “The effects of parental divorce on adolescents?” The jury is still out on that one! 🤦🏼‍♀️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Sunday morning Home Depot runs & breakfast are the best.♥️ It was pouring rain so he dropped me off and the lady inside said, “Your boyfriend must have dropped you off!” “No, he’s been my husband for almost 17 years.” She said, ”WHAT!? That always stops after the dating ends.” “Well not with him. He loves me like I’m brand new!” Men, if your woman isn’t acting like a queen maybe it’s because you treat her like the hired help. When you treat a woman like she’s of high worth, I can promise you she will rise to the occasion. Also, being loved well just makes a woman glow.
