My kids finally get it.
With everything that has been going on about corona virus, the build to whether we will or won’t shut down, the news and the intense family discussion taking place in our house, the boys are fully aware of the virus and its impact. They have even taken to washing their hands more often without complaint! […]

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God gave us not a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.” We are in the throws of battling Corona virus. We are in the midst of social isolation, panic and shutdown. Life at the moment is surreal. It feels like it should be a film not in our daily lives. […]

Trying new things.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I cannot bake. I genuinely cannot bake a simple a cake. There are no if’s or but’s about this, I am an awful baker. So bad in fact, that I tried to do baking with the boys when they were younger as a rainy day activity and the kids […]

I did it.
I can officially tick something off my bucket list. I have finished my story and I have sent off my manuscript to a few publishers now. I try not to think about it, but honestly I think about it constantly and I am checking my email hourly. There have been a few rejections and I […]
