Do you have any great laundry tips for raising boys? If you have boys, you'll need to remove bloodstains, grass stains and neon stains you can't imagine the source of! :-)
Have you ever wanted to leave a homeschool magazine unopened because it just reminded you of your failures? Or felt sad instead of excited when you saw a homeschool catalog?

Outside, let them run and play and wrestle and yell. Inside, they moderate…
I noticed an older journal of mine amongst the debris of an Eliza playtime around my bookshelf and sat down to leaf through it. Before the sickness and tiredness of pregnancy, in the days when I had time in abundance and thought I was 'busy', my most focused and best devotional times were always when…
In the spring of 2008 I first prayed for a baby, and in the spring of 2011 God answered that prayer with the birth of our beautiful daughter. My joy was full but so were the fears I wrestled. In some ways I felt like a baby Christian again, caught in a whirlwind of emotions,…
