My intentions for writing about several of my favorite Christmas lyrics went the way of so many good bloggy intentions. [Disappeared into a fog of real life.] But it’s not too late! Christmas hasn’t passed yet. I loved hearing from so many of you about your favorite Christmas lyrics. I’m almost out of time, so […]
Do you guys remember the old commercials for Reese’s PB Cups from the 80’s? The premise was: who was the first person who combined chocolate and peanut-butter? Because it changed the world as we know it. I think in one of the scenes, some guys tried the combo and said “Hey, let’s go tell […]
For as long as I can remember, back to early elementary school, I have sung in some sort of choir during the Christmas season. I’m sure most of you also had Christmas programs in elementary school (back when we didn’t have to say “Holiday Program” or “Winter Vacation”) and wore angel wings or shepherds robes and sang […]
Last year after the very first Called to Love Retreat, I wrote in a blog post: “This little ministry is definitely my thing. Not MY thing meaning I own it, but rather it’s the thing for me. The perfect task for my gifts and passion. I have not been so exhausted emotionally and physically in […]
My mind is spinning each day with details, details, details about the Called to Love retreat this weekend.

Some of you may remember my birthday post from 2013, where I asked you all to “like” a new business called Encompass Nutrients.

(Destiny Rescue is an organization very near and dear to my heart that fights human trafficking in […]
I started to title this “Short Story”, but I accidentally typed “Shorty Story,” and now I like that way more. Sometimes I don’t blog because I feel like it needs to be long and thoughtful, or long and spiritual, or long and hilarious. Sometimes it just needs to be shorty. So, this handsome kid […]
One of my favorite things is bragging on my people. And today I want to shout out to every person on the interwebs that I am SO STINKING PROUD of my friend KRISTEN BAUGHER! Yep, that’s her. <————- I can picture exactly where we were on a late summer day when Kristen told a couple […]
With my track record, I must say I’m pretty proud of myself for two Friday Favorites in a row. [picture me doing closed eyes, overbite and pumping fist in air] And I KNOW. It may seem strange to YOU that I can write about my underwear one day and God’s Word the next day, but […]
BONUS Moment #5: I never, ever, EVER remember that there are two “r’s” in the word embarrassing until spell check reminds me. Never. #4: Because of their frustratingly similar packaging–darn you, Target UP brand!–I literally opened and touched a glue stick to my face instead of the kids sunscreen face stick. (Yes, I use theirs […]
