Sometimes the biggest truths come in the smallest packages. Often some of the most important stories are found in children’s books. It’s no wonder He told us to become like little children. “He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (1 Corinthians 1:27). Always Plenty is a little story written for…
Choosing an email service provider can be daunting–whether you can’t stand your current service and are anxious to move elsewhere or you’re just beginning to build an email list and don’t know where to start. Regardless, you’d like to choose the perfect solution from which you’ll never have to move. I’ve spent the last five…
What’s not to love about tales of little people? John Peterson’s The Littles. Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. And of course, E.B. White’s famous little mouse adopted by big people, Stuart Little. But The Tales of Larkin by Alan W. Harris are our family’s favorite. The Larkin aren’t just little people. These books are about little people with a big…
She should have known it would be a storybook romance. From the time she learned to read, she immersed herself in the best of love stories, fiction and non. From Little Women and The First Four Years to Anne’s House of Dreams and The Twenty-Fourth of June, she knew what it should look like when The…
I’m going to pretend that it is a sign of a balanced literary diet for the list of books I’ve been reading this month to be entirely eclectic. There’s not a bit of rhyme or reason to the titles below except that I’ve enjoyed them lately. (And their colors coordinate beautifully. A fact I just…
My husband and I are the kind of self-employed entrepreneurs who have a lot of little income streams that, as it were, flow into larger tributaries of income. As much as this helps our savings account grow a bit bigger each year, it can make our bookkeeping a lot more difficult. (Ideally, to continue the…
I’ve given up on new year’s resolutions. Instead, I spend all year searching for the perfect apps to keep me more organized in the next year. Here are four perennial favorites that have literally saved my sanity this past year. These are the apps I put on my friends’ phones. These are the services I make…
It’s that time of year when it gets dark before dinner and I just want to curl up with a good book the moment the dishes are done and the kids are in bed. At this stage of motherhood, I’m running low on sleep and short on time, so my favorite reads aren’t thick tomes…
It seems that each year it gets harder. The calendar gets full and the days get fuller. All this hustle and bustle in a season that is supposed to be about waiting and watching–for the King Who came and is coming. I got out the Christmas books early this year. An ever-changing stack of them is on…
I like old things. Old furniture, old books, old authors. Austen, Bronte, Alcott, Montgomery, Stratton-Porter, Wodehouse. We’re well on our way to having a personal library stocked with the finest in vintage fiction. It isn’t often that I find a “new” author I like. It is even more rare when I find a modern-day author…
a photographic celebration of babywearing #CarryThem
“What’s your favorite baby carrier?”
The question makes me laugh.
Especially when followed with, “If you could only buy one baby carrier, which would you buy?”

The End.
