When you haven’t seen the sun in days… literally DAYS (except that one time you took out the mounding, flu-infested, germ-pool of trash) and the most excitement you’ve witnessed in that time is the happenings of supervillain Gru in Despicable Me, you might just be a mom of ALL sick kids… and if not, then you might need to read …
Written by: Amy Olds I love how my son loves. His generous heart towards his teacher and classmates is so rewarding to see as a mother. As he was leaving class the other day, he was helping his classmate with her backpack. He then turned to me with an ear-to-ear smile and began running full speed in my direction. …
The noise is inescapable most days—the chatter and lights from the TV, the bings and rings from our phones, the coming and going, and the rushing this way and that… it’s all so much. Many days I tend to bury my heart and mind into the mindless, needless distractions while my poor kids suffer from half-here-mommy syndrome. I’m a stay-at-home …
We don’t talk about it. Nobody warns anybody else about it. Maybe it’s pride or embarrassment or sheer fear of judgment that keeps us from speaking out about it. But it’s there, lurking along the outskirts of our hearts and minds—the post-holiday lull. For those of us who live far from family, this lull hits especially hard. It comes in …
Written by: Ashley Peavey 2 Corinthians 5:17 “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Have you ever gone through a day, a week, maybe even a month and thought to yourself, where has the time gone?

Written by: Suzanne Hines Even before becoming a Mom, I was a Christian. I grew up as a missionary kid in a Christian home and made my faith my own at a young age. Then, I became a Mom…and everything changed. Motherhood made me more like Christ—it was sanctifying. I understood even more about what love was and saw beauty …
Perfect is boring. I haven’t always felt this way though. In fact, I think I just twitched while penning those words. For the majority of my thirty-one years, I’ve fought for perfection—the kind of perfection that would keep me at the top of my class/peers and would push me to slay every goal I set. The type of perfection that …
Written by Shannan Panganiban I’ll admit it… when I found out I was having a son with my first pregnancy, I was overjoyed at the thought of all my future children having a big brother to look after them. But suddenly I realized, I have no idea how to raise a boy. I started to think about all the things …
Written by: Raven Alexis I allowed myself to Google it. “the loneliness of motherhood” 448,000 results. Isn’t that funny? That while feeling so alone, there are so many others searching and discussing the same thing? As a relatively new mama (my son, Legend, is 6 months old), I still get asked: “How’s motherhood treating you?” “Do you love being a …
Written by Marielle Petkoff My life is boring. My life is nothing special. I have nothing to say worth sharing. I went from working for a well-known corporation, managing a multi-million dollar business, to spending my days as a stay-at home mom, changing diapers, microwaving chicken nuggets, and driving circles around the neighborhood just to kill time when the afternoons …
