It is often that I wonder how I’d respond if one of my sons or my husband was taken from me in death. Call me morbid but it’s true. Would I be strong enough to still find hope and enjoy life? Would I curse God? Would I be thankful for the time shared and love [...]

Handmade. There’s something about getting a gift made by hand makes the item extra special. It means someone took the time to make choices, be creative, and actually take the time to make whatever it is that they’re giving you. So, when I get something handmade, I really treasure it. A lot of love was [...]

Happy 4th of July! Here’s some pictures of our day. Josh finished building our deck (we never quit) and then we had our moms and my siblings for crabs, grilled sweet corn, baked beans, deviled eggs, macaroni salad and Ramen Noodle salad (sounds odd, but is good). The boys were the center of attention, of [...]

We celebrated my sister Rebekah’s 25th birthday yesterday. Also known in our family as “Peppy” (not sure how that one got started), Rebekah is the second of four in the line-up of siblings in my family. When she joined Chesapeake Community Church several years ago, I was asked to share about her at the new [...]

On Friday I received a surprising call from my husband telling me a friend had tragically died. Tim Barranco was someone I’ve known for a good many years. First, our sisters played basketball together on the CHEN (homeschool) team. Then we worked together for two summers at Beachmont Christian Camp. Later I ended up [...]

Nite, nite
Sleep tight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite
See you in the morningtime
Sweet dreams
I love you the best!
Sometime when I was too young to remember, my mom started saying this little poem to me before I went to sleep. Growing up, I couldn’t go to sleep unless she tucked me in and we said it together. [...]

I met Suzanne by reading one of her articles on Boundless. Then I found her blog. We’ve been “blog buddies” ever since. Suzanne is an editor for Clubhouse magazine and was teaching some workshops at a Christian Writer’s Conference in Newark, Delaware, so I met her for dinner on Saturday night.
I was forty minutes late, [...]

Tuesday we had lunch with Dog-Lady. I say “we” because it was three co-workers and myself. My co-worker, Betsy, had met Dog-Lady in the park outside of our offices and since Betsy loves dogs and talks to everyone, she’d struck a conversation with Dog-Lady who owns Jack the standard poodle. A friendship had sprung immediately. [...]

We were five very different girls from very different backgrounds and parts of the country. We’d never met and were suddenly all living together in the same townhouse in Virgina. Jenna was from Georgia and personified the proper southern lady with matching shoes and purses and long flowing blond hair. Jessica was California chic who [...]
