The blog for Heart of Womanhood.
I’ve always had a heart for Valentine’s Day! I remember with a big smile the excitement building the week leading up to February 14th each year. Afternoons were filled with Valentine preparation. First there was the official Valentine BOX. Before gift bags, back in my elementary era, shoeboxes with a hole cut in the top [...]
My hubby and I are one of those couples who like to dance. But honestly, “we got no rhythm in our genes.” When out on the dance floor at weddings I love to see the couples who make it look so fun, so easy, so natural! But US? We’re the ones who just kinda bounce [...]
There’s a saying that goes, “It hit me like a mac truck.” How many of you can relate to that quote this holiday season? Well, this gal certainly can---literally. Last Thursday morning as I was walking in to speak at a high school FCA, I was literally hit by an SUV! The security cameras verified [...]
Do you like play dough? I do. I love both the feel AND the smell of it! Yep. I'm a hands-on kinda’ girl. From finger painting to cookie dough rolling, I love forming things by hand. Guess what's super cool? God does too! Our verse today paints a vivid picture of God as our "hands on" [...]
I’m still basking in the glow of some fall break fun with our middle daughter.

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!

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 [...]
