These devotions are all about sharing biblical encouragement for moms in their faith. You are loved and appreciated, moms!
It’s true that I’m inspired by pumpkin pie. It’s delicious, it’s the perfect way to enjoy fall, and it helps me appreciate the little things in life. It also makes me want to confront the person who coined the phrase “easy as pie” and ask them to take it back. Or at least change […] Read more…
Hi, I’m a Stressed Out Mom of a Toddler I might has well have that stamped on my forehead. Fellow toddler moms, let me tell you a story involving a ramp. You know that where there’s a ramp and a toddler, all bets are off. There I was, walking with my mother-in-law and two kiddos […] Read more…
It’s not my kids. It’s me who’s fussy today. To be completely honest, I need an attitude adjustment today. Even though my kids are a huge blessing, I’ve forgotten how to be a happy stay at home mom.

Do you ever read about the Proverbs 31 woman and think, well, how nice for her. Because, here’s my confession: sometimes I do! No offense to this amazing, ideal wife and mother, but I can’t handle how productive and wise and early-rising and kind and profitable she is. Honor her for all that her hands […] Read more…
I’m not always the mom I want to be. I’m a living, breathing, human mom who was once not a mom and still feels like I have a lot of catching up to do. And a lot of laundry to do. I’m not supermom, I don’t have it all together, and I definitely am not […] Read more…
Life is Unpredictable with Messy Kids Let me take you back to one winter when I was a pre-teen. We were on one of our long family road trips to southern Texas, this time with my cousin traveling along. He always sat in the very back of our minivan, where he could chatter about video […] Read more…
I had a hard time deciding on what to focus on for show and tell Tuesday with Momfessionals about being on the struggle bus. I have lots of struggles as a mom, and I actually like sharing about them so God can turn my brutal honesty into something helpful. Hopefully. I really thought about sharing how […] Read more…
Back before I had kids, one of my fears was that motherhood would turn me into a different person. Who I’d be as a mom was such a mystery. Would I let myself go?
