4 Unexpected Ways to Take Care of Yourself
The other day, I sat down at the kitchen table and did something I haven’t done in probably close to a year. Baby Girl was down for a nap, the Oldest was still at school, and the Middle was sitting with me at the table working with some play dough. I sat with a canvas…

5 Ways to Fit Scripture in Your Life
Not too long ago, I use to start every early morning the same way: I would pour a hot cup of coffee with a heavy dollop of half and half, curl up on “my” side of the couch in my dark living room, and read a short devotion by the dim light of a table…

Paleo Almond Pancakes
I don’t like pancakes. Gasp, the horror! I know. I’m a little wacky.
