I was thinking this week about memories – specifically relationship memories. When my son turned one, and I realized I was expected to buy him birthday gifts a mere two weeks after his grandparents and great-grandparents (and, yeah, maybe his parents, too) had spoiled him at Christmas, I realized I needed a plan. So we […]
Nerds are Sexy, Too
Nerds are the best. And I mean that sincerely. My family and I took a vacation recently. In fact, I’m still sitting in Vancouver, British Columbia, as I type this out. We head to the airport at 2am tomorrow. Yay. (Not.) I realize that some families go to the beach for vacation. Some families go […]
Summer Reading at its Best
Happy 4th of July! I hope you have plans for a wonderful celebration filled with family and friends. Personally, I’ll be working on a paper I need to turn in for school. If it wasn’t for that paper, though, I would have other plans for tomorrow. Can you guess what I would rather do? Read. […]
When Someone Has a Past (with a #Giveaway)
Almost everyone has a dating past, but some of us have more of a past than others. When it comes to romance, those pasts can be even trickier to deal with. I’ve got to be honest, though. I was twenty-one when I got married. My dating “past” is pretty finite. I was talking to someone […]
Sunshine Yellow
Several years ago, friends from church brought me a pepperoni pizza. My then-eleven-year-old son had told them that was the only kind of pizza I liked. Reality? I like a few veggies – and even the occasional fruit – on my pizza with those meat toppings. Plain pepperoni was his favorite kind of pizza. Then […]
Life Experiences in Story Form
I’ll be honest. Easter isn’t my favorite time of the year. It’s been over a decade since it happened, but the last Sunday we spent together as a family was Easter Sunday. Our daughter passed away the following Sunday morning. It’s harder for me when Easter comes closer to the anniversary of her death, but […]
Meet Letty from His Runaway Crush – w/ a #GIVEAWAY
I hope your March is getting off to a fabulous start! It’s looking pretty sunshiny where I am – literally and metaphorically. 😊 For believers around the world, this is often a season of reflection and prayer as God prepares our hearts for Easter. This year, though, it’s also a season of great Christian romance. […]
New Series Launch! + a #Giveaway
Welcome to February! It’s going to be a great month. For lots of reasons, I’m sure. One of those reasons, though, is that the Easter in Gilead series is launching. Woot! Woot! His Runaway Crush is book three in the series, and it’ll be out March 28th – but book one (see Valerie Comer’s post) […]
Relationship Resolutions
I’ve talked to a few people recently about what their 2022 was like and what they would like to be different in 2023. I’ve gotten some interesting answers. A lot of people faced financial challenges in 2022. Inflation and the cost of living have weighed heavy on many people. Some people have been discouraged by […]
Walking Together
I’m going to talk about something a little different today, and I hope you’ll come along with me for the conversation. Often, when something tragic happens, people pull together, care for each other, and walk with their neighbors through the trial. Until some of the people forget. Then the ones who haven’t forgotten- or who […]
