Morning Devotions With a Preschooler and a Toddler

Morning Devotions With a Preschooler and a Toddler

If you didn't know this about me, I am an extroverted introvert... meaning that I can manage pretty well in a room full of people, but I need my alone time.

Confessions of a Minivan Mom: Mom Anger, Guilt & Shame

Hello blog world!! It has been waaay too long since I have written last. I have had all kinds of things to write about, yet no time to do it.

I remember there being really neat nuggets in Numbers the last time I read it, but honestly, I had recently walked through some discouragement and thought I would benefit more from reading through Psalms.
