We stepped outside this morning, and the air was almost crisp, with the scent of dry leaves hanging in the air. Fall is coming! It is still August, and I know hot days are still going to be with us for a while, but that hint of autumn weather got us all a little excited. September is right around the corner, so here are our new memory work plans for next month! I have been trying to add a little thematic material to our memory work, sometimes to go with the season or holidays. At first I thought maybe we…

One day as I was washing dishes, I tuned into a podcast featuring interviews with different Christian authors and speakers. I don’t honestly even remember who the host was or what podcast I was listening to.

Funny thing is, my husband and I both just remembered a few days ago and have absolutely no plans to celebrate! Our actual anniversary the middle of the week. And because this is one of his busiest times of the year for work, it isn’t possible to get away on the weekends, either. We also have a lot of other things coming…

I’ve had writers block lately. It isn’t that I didn’t want to write and post on the blog. I did. But also had a lot of fear surrounding my writing. I had begun to let the Dream-Stealer sneak into my head and whisper things about my worth. As a writer. As a mom. As a wife. As a child of God. But you know what? Those ideas were lies. Fear is a liar. Comparison is a thief. They lurk in the corners of my mind and tell me I’m not good enough, not creative enough, not talented enough, not driven…
