an adventure in living boldly
All 3 of our children take piano lessons and the music in our home is often lovely! It’s a blessing to hear a wonderful combination of sacred, classical, and popular music filling the air. They all work hard, and while the practicing definitely takes some time and effort, the return on the investment comes in […]

Dear Weary Mom, Life sure is a big juggling act sometimes - with kids, spouse, schooling, laundry, jobs, church, volunteer positions. It takes a lot to keep everything going smoothly. I often wonder what might happen if I stop the juggling act and just let go. The truth is, that terrifies me. Well, it used […]

I’ve been really craving some family time lately. With the end-of-year rush with school, and all the extras that go with that, I felt like I was seeing my family, but really only for the business side of things - the schoolwork, piano lessons and recital, crossing paths on the way to one meeting or […]

Hello, My Name Is ______, Perfection. Making life perfect for everyone. Making it all fit together. Holding onto perfect because anything less is scary. And because of all that, I am exhausted. Rather than being open-handed and open-hearted, I am tight-fisted and hard-hearted. I cannot let God take things out of my hands in order to […]

The end of the school year is always a time of mixed emotions for me. On one hand, I’m so happy to be nearly done with school and have another year under our belts. On the other hand, it’s a time of “g00d-bye” and “see you later” to some of my greatest assets. We homeschool, sort […]
