This is finals week for Kentucky schools. However, more than any other year, the 2020 tests are far from "standardized." Nope. This year the exams are being completed at kitchen counters in pajamas OR on family room floors with laptops. From first grade spelling tests to AP College Credit Exams, this season of testing hit [...]
The "triumphal entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday has been a favorite picture of mine since childhood! I loved making construction paper palm branches and waving them high in the air when our Sunday School teacher got to the part of the story where we would shout, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes [...]
Hey mommas, in between loads of laundry today, take a moment to read our March Heart of Womanhood blog post from my friend, Darisha Bishop. She has a house full of kiddos and a heart full of Jesus. She has her own blog named Momdry so check it out! What’s Momdry? Well, in her own [...]
Not sure about you, but by this time in the year, my New Year’s resolutions are already beginning to blur. My clear resolve to not text while driving still remains intact, but I admit that I am already back into the old habit of taking a cell phone call or two (or three) during my [...]

What a creative Halloween 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.” [...]
The grandparents would be here in one hour for a family Labor Day dinner. With the beginning of September, my taste buds turned to fall foods despite the outside temperature remaining hotter than my preheating oven. My plan? To serve my mom’s famous Chicken Casserole. So, I prepare the rice, then the broccoli, then the [...]
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 [...]

When undertaking a renovation project, businesses display posters that communicate the motivation behind their mess. The dream behind their dust. Here are just a few of the construction signs that have [...]
