This week will be our first week to try Chore Pad to keep track of chores. I will post a review of this app next week. The twins are 18, but they have developmental delays and need help staying on task. I’m terrible about charts that hang on the fridge. Our lives are so busy that they either get forgotten …
Strong Girls aren’t mean girls
Strong doesn’t mean you have the right to be rude. The Bible tells us that our tongue has the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). Strong Girls use their words to build up, encourage and not tear down (1 Thess. 5:11). But how do you do that when you’re in the habit of gossiping and being negative? Wait upon …
The Hooked X
As I wrote in a previous post, I was a fan of Scott Woltor’s research long before his new TV show, America Unearthed. I’ve been fascinated with ancient North American artifacts for years.

You can’t think straight after being pummeled by your child day in and day out with no end in sight. There just isn’t enough support for parents in this country. We love our children. We love having them with us in our home. But where is the support?

Strong Girl Saturday: Strong and pretty are not opposites
On Saturdays I’ll be blogging about being a Strong Girl. While I’ll be speaking to a female audience of all ages, my main focus, initially, will be on young women finding their way in this world with Jesus.
