The Hunt for the Perfect Purse You know what I mean – right? Whether it’s the perfect purse or the perfect shoes, dress, or make-up, we women can get a little fanatical when we know exactly what we want but can’t find it. Six years ago we were on vacation and I found my idea of the…

How will you celebrate Thanksgiving this year? Are things going well with your family and you are ready to celebrate and rejoice?

If you are like most wives, mothers, and homeschool mothers there has been a time when you thought these roles stretched and pulled at you until you would break if you just couldn’t be alone for a while. If only you could finish that project, or read a book, or any number of things that…

I've been through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the last few weeks. The sudden loss of our eight-year-old dog, fun visits with friends, job struggles, vacation and seeing a lot of God’s creation, extended family difficulties and disappointments, children growing in faith, and so on. You get the idea. Life constantly has its…
