Ah, summer. A break for some, a whole new level of chaos for others. A time for fun, family, vacations, and enjoying the outdoors. It’s also a time when church involvement and attendance can slip and take a backseat. Not that our relationships with the Lord are dependent on church attendance, but it can be…

You Are Not Invisible
Let’s take a moment to celebrate that motherhood has little to do with biology and everything to do with heart. That it’s a labor of love in far more ways than one.
It’s a blessing.
YOU are a blessing.
And you are not invisible.
A Recipe from Tara’s Kitchen: Strawberry Shortcake with Sweet Drop Biscuits
Spring is finally here and the weather is warmer. If you are like me, you have been getting the yard ready and planning for that first summer barbecue. I love the warm weather and have been so happy to finally open my windows for some fresh air. Just last week, I was so thankful that…

A Recipe from Shyanne’s Kitchen: Breakfast Crescent Squares
One of my favorite meals of the day is breakfast! Though it took some time, I mastered this recipe while in high school and I still make this recipe quite often.

Poem: My Dad Kinda Looks Like Barry Gibb
My dad kinda looks like Barry Gibb, like a young Barry Gibb, or maybe Barry Gibb looks like him? My dad’s singing sounds exactly like the birds when they sing in the morning when the sun rises, or maybe the birds sound like him? My dad is a comedian, did you know? He made an…
