Fresh Flowers and Bedtime
I spent the other evening with a group of 12-15 ladies in a party-type setting. Though I had a great time, and came home with a few great gifts, the insight I brought home with me is of far greater value… While one of the ladies was presenting her gift item, she mentioned how much […]
Expectation vs. Reality
The other day I had a melt-down. A straight out adult temper tantrum. I had HAD IT! After coming home from work one night, I walked into my kitchen to discover a tornado had demolished it while I was gone. It couldn’t have been like that when I left, could it? There were dishes in the […]
Boundaries
When I was in college majoring in social psychology, I did a term project on women and depression. I found this project extremely enlightening and helpful in forming my consciousness of what to avoid in the future. In one of my classes, we were shown a day in the life of a mother of 5 […]
Just Begin
How many mothers have big projects they want to accomplish? My guess is that you’d be hard-pressed to find a mother WITHOUT a big responsibility or goal. Maybe it’s getting the emergency kits together. Maybe it’s writing a book or planning a vacation or figuring out a way to totally organize the house once and […]

Love More
About five years ago, we decided to add two more words to our already established three word family mission statement (to be revealed at a different time). These two words: LOVE MORE are so simple to write, simple to say, often hard to put into action. When everything is going well, the weather […]
Love Loans
I sat beside the tub and poured water over Ivy’s belly, wishing I could make the noise and chaos behind me disappear.
It was me they needed. More of my time, more of my energy, more of me.
Spiritual Sundays: The Spiritual Roots of My Childhood
As a child, I remember my parents singing a blessing known as puja over an offering of fruit. The blessing was during a special ceremony where I was being given a new Mantra, a special word children focus on as they meditate. Children’s meditation consists of focusing while allowing other thoughts or distractions to come […]
Finding Joy in Mothering
Let us enjoy the art of living.” -Maya Angelou Not too long ago, I was out with my children running some errands. I’m not sure that I looked frazzled or weary, but because I was out and about with four children, it’s probably pretty safe to assume that I did. A stranger approached, and […]
Someday I’m Going Shopping By Myself
I know every mother understands how frustrating a trip to the store can be with children in tow. Our excursion last week wasn’t really that terrible, but I was suffering from a head cold and needing some serious sleep. Somehow all the chaos seemed to be magnified ten-fold. My oldest daughters wanted to visit the toy […]
Motherhood and the Transfer of Energy
Here is a fun science analogy that adds supportive insight into how our choice to be mothers can be the very best investment for our respective nations, for our world! Imagine, if you will, two balls, one large and one small. They’ll need to be balls that bounce. Now if you have ever bounced a large ball and a small ball side by […]
