You’re doing it all right, mom

500 decisions a day. I read somewhere that’s how many little choices a teacher makes and why they’re so tired. Motherhood is a whole lotta teaching. And even more second-guessing. I guarantee that you wondered, regretted, feared, or worried last week, if not today, that your way of momming was wrong. Me too. I heardContinue reading “You’re doing it all right, mom”

Which mom are you?

You may be a boy  mom if you’ve heard, “Mom! I’m done! And it looks like a snake!” Or a girl mom if you’ve yelled, “We don’t have time to brush your hair, just get in the car!” You may be a SAHMom if you put on a jacket to drive kids to school becauseContinue reading “Which mom are you?”

Thanksgiving prayer for you

I want to take a moment and wrap us up in prayer today as we travel, gather, or stay put because Thanksgiving can be filled with both joy and sorrow… Jesus thank you for each one of my readers. Thank you for all that you are doing in our lives that you are in controlContinue reading “Thanksgiving prayer for you”
