In the last few years, I’ve discovered a love for novels set during Regency times. I’m not 100% sure why other than there’s something about stepping into a time that is so different from ours, yet the struggles are the same. Everyone wants to be loved and have the opportunity to live a life that matters. When I saw that …

A Beautiful Bible for Tweens.
If you’ve been around my blog for long, you know I’m always talking up books that I love. When I saw this one, I thought it would be great for my eleven-year-old and I was right. I wish I’d snapped a photo of her face when I let her open it. A fan of adult coloring books, this Bible was …
You’re Already Amazing
You’re already amazing. As women, isn’t that a concept that we really struggle with? I know I do. I’ve spent weeks and months studying to understand who God says I am. To understand my identity in Him and how to use who He created me to help others. Looking for a resource for women? @cara_putman recommends @holleygerth You’re Already Amazing. …
What does it mean to be prolife?
I’ve been pro-life basically since birth. My mom shared a story of looking in a playpen at a friend and I playing as babies, and knowing that one child was missing. You see, I was born the year after Roe v. Wade was decided. It has impacted my life through that story and the activities my parents engaged in as …
Paper Hearts & Love Letters
I was inspired by the novel to make a fresh commitment to surprising my love with notes — no matter how small — that remind him how much I love and appreciate him. If Hallmark sales explode, you know why.
The one Christmas tradition I “don’t” like
Today my friend Melissa Tagg is posting about her most un-favorite Christmas tradition: I love lots of Christmas traditions: Classic Christmas movies. (Somebody posted a comment on Facebook the other day asking if she’s missing out by never having seen It’s a Wonderful Life. It was all I could do to stop crying and pull myself together before replying.) Christmas …
A Christmas Song
Today I’m delighted to share with you Katherine Reay’s post in our fa-la-la-la-la Christmas giveaway. This weekend I was off-line because my cousin got married. Family came to town and we celebrated an absolutely gorgeous weekend – full of love, laughter and Christmas. Both my girls decided that this was the season for a wedding – the music is amazing …
Starry, Starry Night
“Play Starry, Starry Night!” For as long as I can remember, my Dad played the acoustic guitar for his daughters. And for as far back as the sweet sound of those guitar melodies go in my mind’s ear, I can remember asking him to play Starry, Starry Night (or,Vincent). Over and over I’d ask. And again and again he would play. Fingerpicking like a …
christmas gifts: the unexpected and expectations
Today Beth Vogt is kicking off our Christmas Blog tour! This is not a sentimental Christmas memory … and I do have my husband’s permission to share this story. Once upon a Christmas time, my husband and I were newlyweds celebrating our very first Christmas together. Our tiny one-bedroom apartment was festive, thanks to the shiny silver aluminum Christmas tree …
