empowering women hour by hour
Mormor was unable to write her blog Friday, so she is our guest blogger today.
Last week, my husband and I stopped for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. On the way out, I saw a t-shirt that said “Chocolate is the answer, it doesn’t matter what the question is!” This caught my attention because I [...]
So, I have this friend. Her name is “Favorite.” Okay, that’s not her real name, but it’s what I call her. In fact, she calls me “Favorite” too. I can’t even remember the last time I called her by her actual first name (haha!).
And also, I have this long-running joke with several of my friends [...]
Opportunity knocks…and sometimes it knocks us right over till we fall into a rut. I was listening to an encounter among children recently. Julia was cleaning the room she shares with Claire. Claire, who (thankfully) has shown some signs of maturity lately, wanted to help. (Note: opportunity.) She even knocked on [...]
As I have puzzled over a blog topic for the day, I thought about many subjects. I have written one on spring, one on judgement, and had a few other thoughts bouncing around my brain waves…but nothing felt right. Then I thought about blogging about death. No. I couldn’t do that.

This week, our family has the most amazing opportunity: I have met a new friend, reconnected with a neighbor, and lost myself in the service of others during a most difficult and trying time. Let me tell you about it…
Our twins wanted to go to Disney. We thought about going to celebrate their birthday. [...]

So if I’m not blogging about my right now, what the heck [...]
Marissa is on a leave of abscence today and so we are posting a previously posted blog. Enjoy!
I’ve pretty much always loved baseball, as well as most sports, and country music. Until recently, no one really knew of my love for these things. Somehow, when I was a kid I got this funny idea that [...]
Pauline is our guest blogger today. She is the mother of 4, grandmother of 15, great-grandmother of 9. She is known for generosity—and her biscuits—and she is a true southern girl who cooks for those she loves. Pauline shares an experience with her great-grandson from a few years ago.
I have had problems with my eyes [...]
We have a friend who said that our family is experiencing the hardest time in our lives. I know others who have as great challenges as we have and some who are experiencing greater challenges right now. We reached the point, long ago, when I thought we had all that we could bear. Still things [...]
Stephanie, our guest blogger today, is always ready to share her kind thoughts with those around her. She is a devoted mother and woman of great faith. She recently took up working with stained glass, and her quiet kindnesses speak volumes of her character. Enjoy!
It is the little things in life that help us along [...]
