Some days just don’t start well. One of the kids wakes up on the wrong side of the bed – and it’s so bad you wonder who replaced your sweet, fun-loving kid with this surly grouch. What really makes it bad is one bad mood spreads like the most effective virus…especially when the younger kids watch and decide it must …
Today I’m delighted to introduce you to my friend Dawn Crandall, the author of the amazing Everstone Chronicles. I have thoroughly enjoyed her series set during the Gilded Age on the East Coast particularly Maine. You can read my review of her latest novel The Captive Imposter here. Bottom line? It’s my favorite of hers so far! Wonder how authors pick …
Yesterday morning, the KLOVE morning show was talking about the “this is your brain, this is drugs, this is your brain on drugs” commercial. Some of you remember that commercial quite vividly. Others have no idea what I’m talking about. Some days it feels like: this is my life, this is my life on steroids, this is my life on …
From my earliest days, I knew I wanted to be a mom. I also knew I wanted to take Katie Couric’s spot on The Today Show – hasn’t happened.

Where do I find my passion in this season of life? So many questions. And so much silence. It feels like I’m in a holding pattern with the …
Life is an adventure. We can probably all agree on that. Sometimes it takes some unexpected twists and turns. I just got back from one of those. It was a good twist, but one I never expected to find myself taking. I spent all of last week in Brazil. When you ask me where I want to travel, what I …
I adored this story of two people who are both trapped by their past relationships and a future that is uncertain.
From time to time we all need encouragement or a shot in the arm. We need a place we can stop for a few minutes, read a post that challenges, encourages or uplifts us, and maybe find a moment of truth and grace with our Heavenly Father.
