Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
Welcome readers! I have some exciting news. A few weeks ago, I launched my first ebook, “Parenting In The Light: Mothers of The Bible Series.” This book covers 8 moms – and moms-to-be – in the Bible and shares their struggles and accomplishments. Learn about: Rahab and why she is noted in the “Bible Hall of Fame” in Acts 11. Moses’ mother and why her
I was going to say “ever”, but yet is more hopeful for Christmases to come. The really cool thing? It was NOT about the presents, as I didn’t anything major, just a few little things, for which I’m still grateful. We have had a lovely time, since Thursday evening when I got off work, all the way through today. Well, ok, we were stuck in
I see that I have not blogged in a whole 5 days! Well, readers, that is because I took 4 whole days off! I didn’t write, work, think about work, stress over my career, or any of that. It wasn’t perfect…Chris ended up in the ER with torn rib cartilage (no idea how), and Zoe was a bit of a handful on Thanksgiving. The upside
At the request of one of my readers, I thought I’d re-pick up my F-word series on a word that you absolutely have to embrace if you want to be fabulous: FORTITUDE According to Dictionary.com, fortitude is a noun meaning, “mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation courageously”. Wow. Hard. CORE. Lots of heavy-hitter termsthere, did you notice? “emotional strength”, “adversity”,
Today’s guest post is by Kathleen Deyer Bolduc, author of Autism & Alleluias (Judson Press, 2010), a wonderfully inspirational book about dealing with autism through faith. You can learn more about Kathleen at www.kathleenbolduc.com or visit her blog. Check back next week to read my book review! It’s one of those recurring dreams—one that surfaces again and again. My husband Wally, son Joel and I
Well, not perfect, the kids were a bit, shall we say, rambunctious today? And our dog destroyed the plug on our vacuum cleaner, but those worries are for another day. Good stuff, good karma coming my way. Lots of great opportunities, not just for me, but maybe something awesome for Chris, which fell in his lap due to a series of completely unpredictable “coincedences”. (You
Today I went to see Amelia’s class in concert at school and something really wonderful happened. Lately, as many of you know, I’ve been questioning everything about my parenting, partly due to an insane amount of stress and anxiety, and partly due to some toxic people. I know it’s dumb, but I’ve questioned everything I’m doing or have done, and looking at my girls as
Well, I must say the last 10 days flew by! So I will update you all, starting with the holiday. I hope all you who celebrate had a nice holiday, whether you ate a large feast with a big group or, like someone I know, had some ice cream with the kids and then went home and made potatoes & stuffing. Isn’t it awesome that
Well, we’ve just come back from 5 day in Virginia. It was an ok vacation. The drive from this house is only 5 hours, so it’s not too bad. We got a 3 day pass to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA, but my kids were not really up for it. In fact, they spent most of the 3 park days cranky. On day 1
OK, so I’ve got this great new blog and nothing to show for it, in terms of entries! I’m sorry. It’s been difficult, I don’t even really care for the design but haven’t been able to put one together for myself yet. It’s been really tough lately. Amelia who is now 4.5, is acting up a lot. I get very discouraged because I feel like
