Written by: Morgan Cooper As I sit snuggled in my favorite Alabama sweatshirt, a hot cup of creamer with a bit of coffee, my pup curled up beside me, the sunlight bringing the Cooper Cottage to life while also exposing a bit of dust in quite a few places, missing my hubby while he is away at work and counting … Read More
Thank you Crazy 8 for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions expressed are 100% my own. I envy moms with fashion sense… the ones who piece together intricate details of colors and fabrics with striking accessories and to-die-for shoes. Every time I go out and see that mom with those fashionable kids strutting their name-brand tushies like tiny runway … Read More
I’m tired… but it’s a different kind of tired. Oh, I’ve been tired before. When I was fifteen, I could sleep until noon on the weekends because I was THAT tired. And in college, the fifteen-minute power nap was my bestie, and boy did I need that dear friend A LOT. And sure, in those early years of married bliss, … Read More
After months of listening, processing, and taking into account all of the hurt, excitement, and confusion that friends and strangers alike expressed over our country’s recent election, I finally broke my silence and shared my feelings and thoughts on the matter here on my blog: “When Love and Tolerance Become Hate Behind a Mask.” The overwhelming theme of this recent post … Read More
Written by: Elisabeth Rigby Homeschooling my own kids? Psh, no big deal…easy-peasy. Hadn’t I gotten straight A’s in high school, even taking Physics and Pre-Calculus? Didn’t I graduate a semester early from Bible college with Honors? I went into homeschooling with a faith in God and a confidence in my own qualifications. The first week with my five-year-old was a … Read More
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 … Read More
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. … Read More
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 … Read More
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 … Read More
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? Ever since having kids, that thought comes through my head far … Read More
