You’ve all heard that Pinterest is the way to go when it comes to blog page view referrals. I’ve heard so many bloggers say that they “need to do more on Pinterest,” but who has the time? There’s a million little things you have to do as a blogger. If Pinterest isn’t already part of […]

When it’s Hard-to-Give-Thanks-giving
Thanksgiving is a time to remember our blessings and voice our gratitude to God, our friends and family, and to ourselves. If you are astute enough to acknowledge that you’re not as thankful as you should be, you’re actually in a good place! My husband recognized years before I did that I had a problem […]
6 month blog traffic and income report
I can’t believe it’s been six months … I’ve never done a traffic and income report, but I always enjoy reading them, so hopefully you will, too. I love blogging. I wish I had more time for it and more time to spend with my kids. There are two reasons I wanted to blog to […]
Why You Just Might Be the Proverbs 31 Woman
“She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” Proverbs 31:15-16 I used to feel badly that I’m a WAHM (work-at-home-mom). If I didn’t have to work, I could […]
The Day My Anxiety Left

Managing Ministry with Small Children
“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matt. 6:33 My husband and I have been in ministry for years, even before we met. We’ve always known that we would have children, and that we would be serving in church in some capacity. I studied […]
Why Comparison Is Killing You
“…When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.” 2 Corinthians 10:12 Most women struggle with comparing themselves with other women. The logical conclusion to this empty exercise is the pride/insecurity scenario. If you win the comparison battle, it puffs you up and makes you feel a little better […]
Praising God with a Broken Heart
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.” Job 1:20 I have never experienced grief, fear, and depression like I did when my first son, my middle child was born. It was a completely […]
The Glorious Mom
“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” – 2 Corinthians 12:10 Being a mom is fantastic. Nothing like having little tiny look-alikes who think you’re the best thing since sliced bread. And who need you […]
