Stop Chasing Mirages.
We live in a world that is overrun with cheap substitutes for the real thing. At this point, I’m not even sure it really matters what the real thing is… think of something real and substantial, and I bet there is a substitute for it. There are substitutions for “real” food, real entertainment, real connection, Continue reading

The Era of the DINK.
Have you heard of the new phenomenon known as “DINKS?” It stands for Dual Income No Kids, and it stands for people who choose not to have kids, ever. Now. I understand that everyone has a right to choose their path in life, and maybe there are some people who were truly not cut out Continue reading

Choose your kingdom.
“Vanity of vanities,” says the preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” , What profit has a man from all his labour in which he toils under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes; Ecclesiastes 1:2-4 What kingdom are you working for? I can tell you that in my lifetime I have Continue reading

Get outta that funk.
Have you ever been in a full scale “funk?” I think there is a definite possibility that I am the queen of it. The smoke, anxiety, hormones, husband being away for over a week, (enter various other excuses here) have me feeling… blah. I felt like time with the kiddos would help, and made cookies Continue reading

Fixing my eyes on Jesus.
My nerves haven’t just been frayed the last while. They have been threadbare. This is our busy season. Our fly in fishing lodge is officially open for business, which means I start to feel scattered. We have a beautiful homestead here, and the lodge is a 5 hour drive and 30 minute flight from here. Continue reading

Mother’s day.
I’m a day late writing something for mother’s day! Mostly because I was busy being a mother, and a daughter, and a daughter in law. My weekend was jam packed. I hauled my 3 month old baby along for 5 hours of dance dress rehearsal Thursday, 6 hours in the throws of the first dance Continue reading

The attack on our girls.
Have you ever had an argument with a fourteen year old girl who may or may not be struggling with entitlement, and found yourself wanting to shake her till her teeth rattle? Yeah me neither, don’t know what brought that to my mind… weird! It seems to me that entitlement is a raging epidemic in Continue reading

We need validation, mamas.
Do you ever feel like the work you do as a mama is invisible and a little redundant? Yeah… me too. We are raising little people, and we know that it is an incredibly noble calling, but still, the onslaught of laundry, suppers to be made, fights to break up and settle, and bums to Continue reading

Finding your old self.
“When will I find myself again? I feel like I have lost myself since having this baby.” I am on a few motherhood forums, and this question seems to pop up in one form or another at least daily. I see it everywhere, too. Even in church, in the nursery. Young moms who are rushing Continue reading

Screens.
Hell hath no fury like a teenager whose phone has been repossessed. My husband and I have recently been convicted of the amount of time our kids spend on their phones. The addiction is very real.We have always tried to limit their use, but it seems like it creeps back up. These sites (tik tok, Continue reading
