Why Daddy’s Are Special
As you know–Father’s Day was a couple weekends ago. It seems like every time Mother’s Day rolls around–the commercials ramp up for expensive gifts, flowers, and daily reminders to not forget your Mom and let her know how much you appreciate her. As a Momma, I really love this and I enjoy feeling special. But…

Becoming Whole Part 4: Emotional Wellness

Tis the Season to hopefully save some money. Fa la la la la. La la la la.
The Christmas season is upon us and many of you, like me, have always spent this time of year scrambling around looking for gifts, spending huge amounts of money and hoping and praying that we can keep the debt beast at bay. I have a lot of weaknesses. A lot. But one that has zapped…
God changed my plans today
I love lists–I love making them, I love thinking about them, I love checking things off when I’ve completed them. It’s like an obsession for me. I have learned that having some sort of schedule is essential, because without one chaos ensues. So why is it so hard? Day after day, I make a plan,…
