Today is the first official day of Spring. Hallelujah! Luckily we’ve experienced some lovely spring weather in Ohio for a little over a week now. The only thing that I’m not crazy about when it comes to the changing of seasons is the seasonal allergies I experience along with the beautiful weather. It makes itContinue reading “Another Busy Weekend”

Second Month…Second Award.
Over the past two months I have been sharing pieces of my story and my journey as a busy mom with readers from all over the globe. What I started as a therapy for myself has opened doors to relationships in various parts of the world. I was shocked when the first stranger began toContinue reading “Second Month…Second Award.”
Stop Thinking
Reflection. Waiting. Silence. What all do these three words have in common? Leadership. It takes a true leader to stop and set time aside to reflect on one’s life. We can never attain true perfection in this life so there is always room for improvement and progress. Reflection means reviewing an action, conversation, or thoughtContinue reading “Stop Thinking”
The Date Jar: Week 4 (Daddy’s Birthday)
Is there a better way to spend a Monday than as a family celebrating a birthday? I think not. Today was my husband’s 27th birthday and we spent the day doing some of his favorite things. We slept in, had brunch at Waffle House, visited one of his favorite parks, purchased a book at his favoriteContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 4 (Daddy’s Birthday)”
Ringing in Spring My Way
After such a beautiful weekend of sunshine and warmer temperatures I cannot help but hope that we have seen the last of winter. We’ve consistently seen a week of spring-like weather and so (fingers crossed) my hope will become reality.

If you were to ask me to describe my idea of a perfect day my description would in some way involve a trip to a bookstore with a follow-up reading session in a nearby coffee house. My husband and I both possess the gift to linger amongst books in bookstores or libraries for hours atContinue reading “Love Me Some Young Adult Fiction”
Dear Daughter
Dear Daughter, Of all the things that I am in this life I’m proudest to be called your mother. In everything you bring me joy and help me to learn the significance of life, love, and learning. Everyday I awake with gratitude for you and your father. I hop out of bed eager to seeContinue reading “Dear Daughter”
One of My Many Hats: Advisor
For the past four years I have had the privilege of advising a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at the high school where I work. I have been blessed to watch God work in the lives of the students I see on an every day basis. Most public schools are not open to the ideaContinue reading “One of My Many Hats: Advisor”
The Wait is Over
The long awaited day has arrived. I awoke this morning to a little something different in the air. Something that made me jump out of bed, select a bright colored (sweater and boot-less) outfit from my walk in closet, and hop in the shower to prepare for the day. For once I was not dreadingContinue reading “The Wait is Over”
The Date Jar: Week 3 (Family Getaway!)
Alas, the day has come where my husband comes home straight after work and the late weeknight basketball games are no more. His basketball coaching season came to a close a little over a week ago. Although I support him in all he does, a little part of me is excited that his season endedContinue reading “The Date Jar: Week 3 (Family Getaway!)”
