No bones about it. I was a non-athletic girl. Have you ever heard someone say, “Well, I don’t have an athletic bone in my body”? Yep. That was me. Ironically, God’s sense of humor included match-making this artsy, musical, studious gal with a superb athlete. My hubby was even a man called into a life-time [...]
What a creative costume! Our friend began with a can of gold, high-gloss spray paint covering a tennis outfit, tennis shoes, visor, and tennis racquet. Gold skin makeup and gold hairspray completed the winning costume. Her daughter struck a “tennis pose.” Everyone applauded. Like magic, my neighbor had created her own perfect “trophy child.” Impressive? [...]
Have you ever thanked God for polyester-blend fabrics? I certainly have! God knew that this momma needed to live in a generation where you do not have to iron everything! (Needless to say, I praise Him often for wrinkle resistant t-shirts in our house full of athletes!) Although at the “Wig Wam” we don’t iron [...]
Whether I see one in a hotel, a restaurant or a retail store, my creative mind appreciates clever construction signs. It’s a common sight. When undertaking a renovation project, businesses display posters that communicate the motivation behind their mess. The dream behind their dust. Construction signs like these have brought happy to my heart recently: [...]
Every 4th of July morning, our ordinary collection of middle-class houses becomes an extraordinary celebration of family and freedom with an annual neighborhood parade. To prepare for Independence Day, we simply distribute flyers, post signs, plus invite our community Fire Station and Police Department. Parents decorate strollers, wagons (and their toddlers). Kiddos jazz up their [...]
Like re-reading a meaningful book or re-watching a favorite movie, this month's Heart of Womanhood Blog is a re-play. Why? Because this momma needed to be reminded of these truths----again! I'm guessing many of you are in the same boat with me. So let's dive into the BeYOUtiful Summer of 2024 together... This summer [...]
Remember the childhood game of Mother, may I? It’s an activity where one child plays “Mother” while all the other children position themselves on the opposite side of the room or yard. Each playmate takes turns asking “Mother, may I take three large hops?” OR “Mother, may I take five giant steps?” etc. With each [...]
It's March y'all! Can you hear it? It's the sound of the NCAA March Madness theme song playing on your TV in the family room. It's also the sound of the hamster wheel cranking up its velocity for spring? It's playoff and tournament time for winter sports while conditioning for spring sports has already begun. [...]
I was 35,000 feet up in the air when it happened the first time. While flying to speak at a church my gaze shifted from the clouds around the aircraft to the open Bible in my lap. As I began to review the passage for the “Chalk Talk” that night, I noticed that God’s Word [...]
The Wiggintons are Christmas card people. We like to send Christmas cards. We like to receive Christmas cards. We’ve always been Christmas card people. When I said “I Do” to my husband in 1985, I said “I do” to many things! One desire my husband made perfectly clear during our engagement was that he’d like [...]
