As a mom, you never think that your children will actually grow up and move out, but believe me it happens.  I still remember my mom’s face when I announced that I was moving out.  Well, actually I hinted around at the idea but my parents didn’t take me serious.  So, when the time arrived...

I’ve been wanting to write this post for quite some time.  The feeling of contentment is one that many have a difficult time accepting. With everything that is happening around us, recession, earthquakes and so much more…how content are you? Having a healthy family, a home to live in, a...

This question was one that arose from our sermon yesterday.  Pastor Eric spoke about passion and what we are passionate about.  Finding that passion is so important and once we find it, it changes our lives.

I remember growing up and my parents correcting my sister and I every opportunity they had.  It was quite embarrassing and not something I want to impose on my children.

Home schooling was a venture my husband and I decided to encounter 12 years ago and by the grace of God were we able to maintain our sanity and continue.  We now have...

Have you encountered those moments when you walked into your kitchen and found mud all over your floors, and wondered what happened? Then you see your little guy, coming around the corner with mud all over their face and clothes. You ask him, did you make this mess and he responds, I didn’t...

It’s amazing how children can say things that can completely break your heart. Much worse they say it before church services, so of course I am extremely sensitive and cry through every worship song. Why? Don’t they know that church service is a time of reflection and worship time. A...

Having 5 children is no easy task!! And trying to raise them with high self-esteem is even harder!! We try to instill values and morals in our children on a daily basis and pray that we have reared them in the right direction. But it can be very stressful!! As a child I was taught never to give up!!...
