Hey There, September! I’ve always LOVED that back-to-school feeling that others seem to dread 😉 Even though my homeschooled kiddos are now grown and graduated, I still get tempted to buy new notebooks, journals, pens, and books.

Who determines whether you are a GOOD mom? How do we know if we're a GOOD mom or not? Most women answer that question with, "I'm close with my kids. They tell me their stuff. They tell me regularly I'm a good mom." Or "Many people comment to me that I'm a good mom." "My [...]
Want to Learn Emotional Resilience in Parenting?
Most parents have what they would consider a "difficult or challenging" child and another child or children who seem "easy" or we could say more "easy-going".

Life shouldn’t be just something that happens TO you, but rather something you create with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives IN you! We all have the creative power we need on the inside of us because we ourselves were created in the image of God. We have His creative nature in our [...]

It’s Time to Retell Your Story
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you're asked about a painful story in your past? A breakup, a loss, an abandonment, a betrayal? It's time to RETELL your story! We all have different stories in our lives that we have told over and over and over again. We’ve told the same story [...]
You Don’t Have to Feel the Same to Be in Unity
They say your sibling relationship is likely the longest one you will have on earth. Longer than your parents, spouse, or your own children, you will have walked the earth the longest with your siblings. It's important to remember that while you've known each other the longest and went through a large chunk of your [...]
