Shopping On-Line
So Saturday I was shopping online — otherwise known as procrastinating when I should have been revising. I’m looking for one or two specific items, but found myself on piperlime.com.

Help Me Decide
You guys were such a great help last time. I thought I’d let you vote again. 🙂 I’m working with a designer on a webpage. I’ve put it off as long as I can, but figure with a book releasing in three months, it’s time to build one. So I’ve been looking at websites and trying to figure out what …

From Dobson to Leman to Shepherding a Child’s Heart to Babywise to Tricia Goyer’s Generation NeXt Parenting to Stormie Omartian’s Power of a Praying Mom, I’ve read a ton. Each have valuable things to take away from them. But Mary DeMuth’s new book …

But today, you get to hear from Mary. Enjoy! Why did you write this book? Aren’t there already a bazillion parenting books out there?Yes, I do …
The Moments that Count
Ever have those moments where life seems to conspire against you? A host of demands intersect and leave your head spinning as you try to keep all the balls in the air? I’m there. Boy, am I ever. I’ve got three book deadlines in August. Yikes! I know I am incredibly blessed to even have a contract, let alone four…but …
