It is my goal this month to write every day. Or, at least have a post for every day. I am doing this series in conjunction with Tiny Nephesh Village, my membership site. Between these two blogs, I will be posting every day this month (starting with today, the 2nd). The theme of this month: … Continue reading February Writing Challenge: Writing Every Day

To the Momma Who Feels Like She Has to Apologize
I feel you. I really do. For the last two months, I haven't been to church, and it's only been the last several weeks that I've been able to watch our service online. I'm so tired. I cancel plans a lot. Being pregnant, with a 10 month old at home, I'm very careful about how … Continue reading To the Momma Who Feels Like She Has to Apologize
NaNoWriMo – It’s over, I lost (but it was a success) – & What I’ve Learned
Since it's December 4, obviously NaNo is now over. And...I lost. By that, I simply mean that I didn't write 50,000 words. I got close, closer than I ever have in the past. But, didn't hit that final word count. However, I really see this year's NaNo as a success, and I wanted to share … Continue reading NaNoWriMo – It’s over, I lost (but it was a success) – & What I’ve Learned
When Tiny Isn’t Enough – What I’ve Learned the Last 3 Years About Living Tiny
This particular post is a little bitter sweet for me to write. Nearly 3 years ago, I signed on my tiny trailer - my tiny home that had been 2 years in the planning. Four months later? I met my husband the weekend my apartment lease was up and my new home was ready for … Continue reading When Tiny Isn’t Enough – What I’ve Learned the Last 3 Years About Living Tiny
Thoughts from a Mom After Daylight Savings Time Ends
It's only Tuesday, and at that, the sun is practically setting outside my windows already. Before I was a mom, I looked forward to this day every year. Because, I did manage to get that extra hour of sleep. Not so as a mom, because babies don't understand time change. (This is going to make … Continue reading Thoughts from a Mom After Daylight Savings Time Ends
NanoWrimo!
Usually, I try to do the whole blog every day October challenge. But last year, and the year before, I fell short. Way short. I start with the best of intentions, and then, well, you know... This year, I made no such commitment. This October, I hit my second trimester, our family was adjusting to … Continue reading NanoWrimo!
An Imperfect Mom Kind of Night
What a day yesterday was. It's been disappointing, insomnia has hit, and I've been feeling like crap for most of the week. So, last night, I had hubby move our TV into the bedroom so I could just spend time with the family in bed in my PJs, and, now, we are probably killing our … Continue reading An Imperfect Mom Kind of Night
You’re NOT a Bad Mom: Knowing Your Limits
There are a lot of roles we can take on in life that teach us our limits, our abilities, and our shortcomings. For example, working in day treatment for 3 years has taught me I don't belong in that restrictive of a setting - that high stress. So, a hospital or crisis center is out … Continue reading You’re NOT a Bad Mom: Knowing Your Limits
Balancing Home & Ministry
This has been a heck-of-a-week. So many tornados, so much flooding. Pray for your Oklahoma friends. So, today (Sunday), I ended up staying home from church while hubby went to serve. Last night, right about midnight or so, our sirens went off...I was going to the bathroom of all things, right when they hit. Hubby … Continue reading Balancing Home & Ministry
Dear Momma:
Dear momma, I see those tears. I feel the ache in your heart. I feel the loneliness & shame. And, I feel the immense love you can barely contain.
