What we planned for Mother’s Day: church, 1st service, where I would watch a touching slideshow honoring the moms who had babies this year (including me) brunch at my favorite local spot, Swami...
In the trenches of motherhood, I often find myself craving time with the Lord. Uninterrupted, quiet, devoted time seems like such a treat, and it’s just not something I get much of these days. ...
I’m working my way through a shoulder injury. It’s really hard to “rest” a shoulder when you have a nursing 10-month old and a beefy 2-year old. That little injury has done so...
