EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
I firmly believe that every busy mom needs ‘me’ time in order to maintain emotional, physical and spiritual reserves for our family, ministry and work. Yesterday in Part One, I covered how to carve out little “beats” of rest in the middle of the crazy every-day pace of life. But I’ve found that there is [...]
One of the MomLife Today readers recently asked, “How do working moms get some ‘me’ time?” This is a question that I think can apply to any busy mom – and is close to my own heart
My kids’ laughter met my ears as I rushed into the living room. They sat around the carpeted floor surrounded by Lego blocks. Each of them had a project in various stages of completion. Smiles filled their faces. I glanced at the clock and groaned. My throat tightened and an ache moved to my temples. [...]
Ah, summer … the kids have lots of play dates, the days are long and beautiful, vacations are on the calendar … and every mom with any kind of a job is trying not to run around like her pants are on fire. I’m sure every such mom can see herself in the hysterical email I [...]

As a recent transplant to Little Rock, I’m just getting to know these amazing women. I’m also thrilled to connect with you — ordinary moms who have good days, bad [...]
This past weekend, Memorial Weekend, Dennis and I started cleaning our garage; actually, it’s a large storage shed. The garage was converted into a playroom equipped with a Ping-Pong table and foosball machine for our growing clan of teenagers over 15 years ago. Since we had to have a place for the lawn mower, bikes, and all [...]
For a number of reasons, I think my friends and relatives would be a little amused to see me attempt to write a post about spring cleaning. Let’s see … 1. Cleaning up after preschoolers is like shoveling snow in a snowstorm or, as I have been reminded, like running a blender with the lid [...]
