    As I was rocking baby girl to sleep I was reminded of how blessed I am. Not only with the life that God has provided for me, but also the people that he has allowed in my life. I was reminded of all of the times in the past few years that the generosity of…

    Fear is something that I struggled with for a long time. I am a huge worrier which is the first cousin to fear. It can be the most insignificant thing. My mom isn’t answering her phone when she’s home alone? My mind is running to all the terrible things that may have happened to her.…

    Today, I want to take the time to encourage you to spend time with your family and work on those relationships. Too often we get caught up with work responsibilities, church responsibilities, and even responsibilities at home. We are so focused on what we need to do that we often lose sight of what we want to…

    I really enjoy talking with my husband. We always joke that when we were dating he did all the talking. Since we’ve been married it seems like I do all the talking. We know that is mainly because in the beginning we were getting to know each other. Now, I’ll just be sharing my opinions…

    I am approaching my fifth year of teaching. This will be a defining moment in my career. It is said that if you survive past the first five years you will likely stay in the field. Those that are going to leave teaching generally do it before the first five years are over. So for…

    I want to start this post by saying that this is obviously an opinion post. I know that being a  stay-at-home versus working mama is a fairly controversial topic. Mamas on both sides are very opinionated and passionate about their feelings,  and I just wanted to share mine. My husband says I am very opinionated…

    I made the mistake of buying my husband a bluetooth speaker for Father’s Day. By mistake I mean I’ve probably used it more than he has. Needless to say as I was playing music one morning Mercy Me’s “Even If” started playing. The chorus says, I know You’re able And I know You can Save…

    We have been doing a lot of work in our house lately. I commented the other day that I felt like I have worked harder since being out of school for the summer than I did teaching. As I was working the other day the verse from Ecclesiastes 9:10  about might came to my mind.…

    One of the most enjoyable things about teaching is being able to decorate your classroom at the beginning of the year. Seeing the blank slate turn into a warm and friendly learning zone where your students will learn throughout the year is exciting. For me having a well-organized room helps prepare me for the beginning…
