Happy Thursday, Reader! With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I wanted to share something special with you. It’s a printable workbook of St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer that you can enjoy with your kids. This prayer has been spoken by Christians for centuries. It’s a powerful reminder that God surrounds us with His protection and presence. Some of my favorite lines say: “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me…” It’s such a beautiful way to teach our children that God is...

Happy Thursday, Reader! Some days motherhood feels joyful and full. Other days it feels like your toddler's trying to shove a thousand cheerios in your face in under 7 seconds. There are dishes in the sink, kids arguing in the background, and a quiet voice inside wondering if you’ll ever be alone with your thoughts again. If today is one of those days, I want to remind you of something simple but powerful: One day your kids will have a small army just like them. Until then, you're the best...

Hey Thursday, Reader! I’ve been a little quiet lately (almost 18-months quiet), and I wanted to share why. The last 18-months I've been navigating the death of my 15-year marriage.

There has been grief.There has been a lot of prayer.And there have been many moments where God carried me when I didn’t feel strong enough to stand on my own. But through all of...

Happy Thursday, Reader! Last year, we were sitting on the front porch, the kids holding their little sparklers and waiting (not-so-patiently) for the neighbor's fireworks to start. When the first sparkler lit up, my youngest whispered, “It's like Jesus' light.” It caught me off guard. Because in that moment—surrounded by the noise, the humidity, the chaos—I saw what he saw. Awe. Wonder. Light in the darkness. And I thought, our freedom really is a gift from above. That night reminded me how...

Suddenly, everything felt more manageable. The kids were happy with a fun activity sheet, and I could breathe knowing I had a clear plan in front of me. This...

Happy Thursday, Reader! Every 4th of July, after the hot dogs are eaten and the sparklers have fizzled out, my crew knows exactly what’s coming next… Pajamas. Blue Bell ice cream. And a patriotic movie. It started one summer when my youngest was scared of the fireworks. Instead of going to the big show, we pulled out a blanket, snuggled on the couch, and I told them the story of when aliens attacked America on the 4th of July. (Yes, it was Independence Day movie with Will Smith, but they were...
