I watched the sweetest video on facebook recently of a child with severe health challenges, giving her dad kisses and following each kiss with a silly noise and lots of lots of giggles. Y'all it was the cutest. It reminded me that whatever difficulties they face, kids are kids no matter what! This precious reminder … Continue reading Kids Will Be Kids (no matter what)

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
Things We Love
(and you will too!) The Himalayan Salt Dome acts a natural air purifier by emitting a stream of negative ions into the air leaving air fresher and cleaner. Excellent for those suffering from allergies, sinus congestion and stress. Use as a foot stool for a warming spa experience or just enjoy the ambience it creates … Continue reading Things We Love
Take Care of Each Other
It shouldn't matter where you are from or where you are headed, it all boils down to do we take care of each other or not? And y'all. My heart says we have to take care of each other. This is the essence of humanity. When we take care of each other, regardless of the … Continue reading Take Care of Each Other
More than a Day
Once we discover the Reason of Christmas it pummels our hearts and everything changes. We don't really give a rip about the gifts or Black Friday. The lights and trees are pretty but they don't really do it for us either. Don't get me wrong, we are plenty excited. We are plenty excited about our … Continue reading More than a Day
Disciplining our Emotions
We are all created with emotions. It is not wrong to have emotions. For instance, when we are moved to compassion to help another or when we grieve the loss of a loved one.

Holy or Happy
What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? Perhaps marriage works to develop Christlike character - forgiveness, love, respect, perseverance. I can't help but ponder if all of life is meant to make us more holy? Which is quite ironic because as people we usually strive for happiness … Continue reading Holy or Happy
That’s Hampton For Ya
We've lived in Hampton a few years now and there's this saying we hear every time something doesn't go right. "That's Hampton for ya." Well, there's definitely been a learning curve to rural living BUT in that learning curve we've found another side to Hampton. We're aware that there's all kinds of things that … Continue reading That’s Hampton For Ya
Doing It All
As moms we often struggle with doing it all. We run ourselves to exhaustion and go to bed at night discouraged because we just can't seem to do it all. The truth is, most of us are doing the best we can and doing a great job at it. I love when other moms share … Continue reading Doing It All
Dear Single Ladies,
My husband has been a pastor for years. Part of pastoring is marital counseling. Engaged. Newly Weds. Marital conflicts. But there's a thing or two that I'd like to say to you ladies BEFORE you are on your way to the pastor's office for marital counseling. 1. Don't marry a loser. If your mom and … Continue reading Dear Single Ladies,
