Keep Showing Up-Pour Your Heart Out

I attended a conference for aspiring Christian women speakers and writers this past weekend. To say that I felt a great multitude of ways in just a few short days would be a HUGE understatement.  As I said in my post on the last night of the conference:  I dreamed, cried, pouted, wilted and lifted…

A Place to Put Your Feet Up-31 Days to Clean Day 4

Well happy Monday Divas!  It is a rainy dreary kind of day here:(  I had a chalked full weekend; crammed with all kinds of great eating in celebration of my 39th birthday! It is truly HARD to believe that I am now 39 years old.  Twenty seems like just last week! What is really crazy?…I…

Hugging the Porcupine-Pour Your Heart Out

I have always been a person who can pretty much get along with everyone.  I am sure there are people who just can’t stand me but up until now, I have been totally oblivious of their disdain for me.  Even more than that, I am just not a person who has tons of people I “don’t like”.  I guess…

Give Me Faith-Emily Watkins Guest Post

Happy Hump Day Divas!  Today, I am so honored to have a guest blogger, Emily Watkins. I affectionately call her a blogger because Emily is just swirling around the idea of blogging.  However, after you read her words, you will agree with me when I say that she is an excellent writer and has a…

Consider Your Ways-Pour Your Heart Out

The school year has officially started. Both of the girls enjoyed their first few days of school and we have had uneventful mornings.

A couple of days ago when I was in the hustle and bustle of my morning, I noticed one of my tires looked low. Upon further investigation, it was actually about to be flat. We just purchased a new set of tires about 2 months ago and then a month before that we had a…

Princess Choices-Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop

Today, I am participating in Mama Kat’s writer’s workshop. One of the writing prompts for this week is to list some of the things that I would tell my teenage self. Since we haven’t mastered time travel yet, my list will be what I wish I knew then but can share with young girls NOW:…

Back to School Already? Wal-Mart Gift Card Giveaway

Y’all know I keep it real so I gotta just say it, “I am so NOT looking forward to school starting!” I have really enjoyed letting the girls just BE without barking out marching orders to the next activity. Not having homework and projects has been fabulous. There have actually been a couple of evenings…

Beautiful Feet

I had the grand pleasure of having a LONG OVERDUE pedicure and manicure on Monday afternoon. My girls were over with friends and Mama had a few hours to herself! (Whoo hoo). I cut my phone off, opened my book and eased my feet in to the warm water. Ahhhhhhhhh I had been missing this….

She Prays More Than She Prepares

I attended the She Speaks Conference by Proverbs 31 Ministries this past weekend. The She Speaks Conference is an annual three day event with the purpose of encouraging women to answer the call God has on their lives.  Attendees are provided the nuts and bolts of speaking, writing, leading and influencing. When packing my clothes and…
