{Inspector Mom & Dad}

“Children do not do what you expect, they do what you InSpEcT.”* If you’re a parent you know that telling your kids to do something and thinking it will automatically get done correctly without any inspection on your part is unrealistic.  They’re kids after all, and kids will be kids!!  That’s why they need help fromContinue reading “{Inspector Mom & Dad}”

{Just Go Home}

Disillusioned with God?  Feel like he has let you down? This reminds me of the little kid who decides he is fed up with Mom and Dad and is going to run away from home.  He packs his bags and heads out the door down the long driveway.  When he gets to the end of the driveway he pauses.  AsContinue reading “{Just Go Home}”

The Green-Eyed Monster Called Jealousy

Do you begrudge other’s SuCcEsSeS?  Do you secretly wish for others to fail?  If so,  jealousy may be an issue for you. Jealousy stems from a mindset that believes there’s only a limited amount of success and good fortune and if someone finds success/good, it means your chances have decreased.    This is a scarcity mindset.  Contrast that with an AbUnDaNcE mindset – oneContinue reading “The Green-Eyed Monster Called Jealousy”

{Sittin’ On A Gold Mine}

When it comes to potential, we all are sittin’ on a GoLdMiNe.  God has placed incredible potential in every single one of us.  Don’t believe me?  Then you probably haven’t dug deep enough.  Because trust me, it’s there. I think most of us know this is true.  If that is the case, then why areContinue reading “{Sittin’ On A Gold Mine}”

{When Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Memories}

Don’t you hate the 24-hour bug?   Especially when it falls on a really important day, like ChRiStmAs!  Well, that was the case with my husband this past Christmas.  I felt so bad for him because I know how much he enjoys spending time with family, as well as being with our kids on Christmas morning to seeContinue reading “{When Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Memories}”

{The Puzzle}

One thing I really like to do, but don’t do very often is put together a puzzle.  From time to time my extended family will put one together during the HoLiDaYs.  It’s a great time to visit with them and enjoy their company.  Depending on the size of the puzzle it may take us hours or evenContinue reading “{The Puzzle}”

{Bring It!}

LiFe isn’t always EaSy.  Can I just be honest and say that sometimes there are things in life that StiNk.  Yes, I said that 5-letter word. {StiNk!} But I refuse to Be DeFeAtEd!  I won’t GiVe-Up.  It may seem like the FiGhT of my LiFe, but I will PrEvAiL!  I’m fighting the GoOd FiGhT of FaiTh!  God is fightingContinue reading “{Bring It!}”

{Etiquette 101}

Are we the only ones who don’t always know the right and proper thing to do in social settings?  Ok, I know that is a rhetorical question because from time to time I’m guessing 99.9% of the population finds themselves in that awkward situation.  You want to do the right thing in a social setting, but youContinue reading “{Etiquette 101}”

Biggest Bang For Your Buck {Cleaning/Organizing A Bedroom}

I always ask my girls when we go to clean their room what is the “biggest bang for their buck” to which they respond, “MaKinG oUr BeD.”  It’s always the first thing we do when we clean-up their bedroom.  And not only is it the thing that takes the least amount of time, it makes the room look 90%Continue reading “Biggest Bang For Your Buck {Cleaning/Organizing A Bedroom}”
