It may be true that many hands make light work but little hands in the laundry make for dark socks in the light loads and clothespins scattered everywhere.

Airing Our Clean & Dirty Laundry {Link-Up}
There’s something so beautiful about it. Hung all in a row on the line to dry. In colorful mounds waiting to be sorted or neatly stacked and folded piles. Clean or dirty, I love looking at other people’s laundry! And it’s always fascinating to read about their laundry methods—find out if they turn the clothes…
Hermie “God Forgives Me”
I really appreciate the way Max Lucado communicates lessons to kids. Especially in the new book Hermie: God Forgives Me, and I Forgive You. It starts off with two examples of Wormie being an understanding and forgiving friend when Hermie is forgetful. Then, Hermie’s hesitance to forgive Wormie is in such stark contrast that the…
a letter to my 14-year-old self
Dear Me, I’ve been wondering—if I really could send a letter back in time to you, what is it you most need to hear? I could tell you about the adorable curly-haired children you’d have, but you could probably guess what they’d look like (hint: just look at your baby pictures). I could tell you…
Pain Redeemed
“There are hundreds of ways that heartache can rip through our lives. The kind of pain doesn’t change the truth. God is the same no matter what type of agony we face.” -Natasha Metzler in Pain Redeemed Natasha’s story is one of infertility. Maybe yours is of a broken relationship. Or of a sick child….
Really Woolly Bedtime Bible Promises
Maybe I’m prejudiced because my dad raised lambs and my mom collected sheep décor and figurines. But I don’t think children’s book illustrations get much cuter than DaySpring’s “Really Woolly” pictures. The new Really Woolly Bedtime Bible Promises, published by Tommy Nelson, is no exception. Filled with rhyming promises and reminders from “You Are Forgiven”…

7 Tips for the “Friends & Family” Blogger
My cousin Lindy asked me for some blogging tips in anticipation of trying to keep all of us up-to-date on her time overseas as a nanny. So here are a few tips for Lindy—and for the rest of you who are just blogging for the fun of it, blogging to keep Grandma in the loop….
consistent (personal) branding
As I worked on my own personal (re)branding, I studied the profiles of fellow bloggers and the social media experts I respect… And I took note of the consistencies and inconsistencies alike.
Platform: how to get noticed in a noisy world
Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World is a fabulous tool for anyone who is in business or social media. (And really, can you be in business without being in social media these days?) It’s aptly called “a step-by-step guide for anyone with something to say or sell”. The first section, on creating a wow…
GoodNite Lite
“Our night lite is orange! Our night light is orange!” The door-opening and loud exclamations sometimes seem to negate the whole idea of “sleeping in”, but at least they’re getting the idea. We used to be greeted by “Ready brek-uss! Ready brek-uss!” at about 6:25 each morning. An announcement from a 2-year-old’s lips which was…
my personal (re)brand
I wasn’t thinking about branding when I first got online as a teenage girl. I wasn’t even thinking about becoming a blogger. So I used variations on my name as I signed up for accounts—a different one for almost every login, or so it seems now that I’ve tried to go back and make them consistent!
The End.
