I found this blog on Dr. Jim Burns’ site and thought to myself, “This is so good. I can use this advice TODAY.” If you have a middle schooler this is so insightful and helpful. And even if you don’t, I think it’s good insight for all of us. 10 Truths Middle Schoolers Should Know […]
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” -Mark 12:30 Loving others like Jesus is our lifelong “following Jesus” quest. Life presents us with challenging circumstances and what to do in such circumstances can be difficult to decipher. However, […]
Sometimes I just don’t understand my husband. I straight up just don’t. I don’t always agree with him. I mean, doesn’t a “good” wife always agree with her husband? I have opinions and they don’t always lineup with his. Do I keep my “thoughts” to myself? It’s hard sometimes. I like being heard. I like […]
My husband and I were on our way from Texas to Arizona, we’d been driving since ten in the morning, and we were both exhausted. It was way past dinner time and both of us were hungry. We knew we’d be on the road until late into the night so “fueling up” was essential. Unfortunately, […]

If you searched the whole planet, I doubt you’d find anyone wiser or kinder or more enjoyable than Dr. Jim Burns. Every word out of his mouth pours wisdom. I couldn’t be more thrilled about his new book “Have Serious Fun.” He’s been a thought leader and family advocate for decades and I am so […]
While scrolling through social media I came across a letter which stopped me in my tracks. I’d like to share it with you… Hi ladies, Tomorrow will be my last clean for [name of bank]. I have made up a bucket of ISS cleaning materials for the next cleaner, whoever that may be. I’ve left […]
I was steaming. I mean really steaming. My husband said something as we were going to bed and it really got under my skin. Then, he fell asleep. He fell asleep! How could he? As I lay there with steam jettisoning from my ears, I thought about waking him up. The longer he slept the […]
I love a good love story. Don’t you? Sometimes we find love under unusual circumstances and when we least expect it.
