The blog for Heart of Womanhood.
It's fall y'all! The weather is cool. The leaves are changing. Sweatshirts are welcomed. Another sign of fall for our family? Friday night high school football games! Because my hubby and I work in ministry with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, we cheer on different teams in our city each week. The stadiums and school colors [...]
Our youngest daughter, Tress, can confirm that in training our youngins' basic safety guidelines, the phrase "never walk alone" was often repeated. She learned this truth for herself in recent years as God walked faithfully alongside us through a season of personal tragedy and hardship. Tress is godly and gutsy. She is redeemed and [...]
As we enter the home stretch of summer, is your scurry crowding out your stillness? Is life's hurry overtaking His holy hush? If the answer is YES to these questions, then this month's Heart of Womanhood blog is for you. After spending years pouring into our children, "there's truly no greater joy than to know [...]
It's where I rocked our three baby girls to settle them down at night. It's where I wrapped them in extra love and snuggles when life got especially hard. It's where my mom rocked me. And her mom before that. Yes. This rocking chair may not be farmhouse or contemporary, but it holds a special [...]
It happens every spring---the month of May hits like a hurricane! As mommas, we prepare ahead of time for the December holiday rush--but May? Not so much. Then all of a sudden "all the things" come crashing into the last four weeks of school, right? Recitals and banquets. Final projects and exams. Spring sports and [...]

If you're like this middle-aged momma, I'll admit that I may have an amazing moment here and there...but I usually feel, well...usual. Most days are full of routine. Far more like a maze. Far less than amazing. [...]
As a young girl I remember seeing Better Homes & Gardens magazine arrive in our mailbox each month. Mom would take a break from her work to “sit a spell” and be encouraged by the practical articles and the pretty photographs. Seeing our stack of magazines on the coffee table was an inspiring sight. Why? [...]
Tuesday is trash day at the Wigginton house. Yep. Every Tuesday morning, we roll our jam-packed trash cans to the street. And every Tuesday our wonderful trash and recycle guys carry away our collective mess. From the time our daughters were little, they looked forward to trash day. When they heard the huge truck rumbling [...]
From the beginning of time, our arch enemy has been targeting the beauty of women. Satan (once known as the most beautiful of the angels) was (and is) fiercely jealous of God's crown jewel of creation---woman! Therefore, his arrows point steadfastly at the hearts of moms and daughters, seeking to steal our God-given glory. How [...]
As mommas, we all need moments to simply pause and take a deep healing breath. Time to push the reset button. We need other mommas who remind us of what's really important---of WHO is really important! One of those friends for me is Lisa Stogner. It is our prayer at Heart of Womanhood Ministry that [...]
