There are very few aspects of parenting that I've stressed about more than my kids' diets. The truth of the matter is that my kids don't like vegetables, at least not many of them. And honestly, I can't blame them. I was never a veggie fan myself ... Read More

I don't care who you are, we all struggle with feeling lonely at one time or another. As children we get hurt because we are last picked for kickball (even though we might suck at kickball)--it still doesn't feel good to be left out.

When You’re a Christian Without a Church

When I Become a Mother I’ll Never…And Other Words I’ve Eaten
I was judgmental before I became a mom. There I said it. It’s a little liberating to admit that. There were things that I said I'd never do.

She was tired after a long day of work, then her evening ended with homework and a non-cooperative two year old.Her toddler ... Read More
