Keisha, the Director of Created Women, is my third nomination for the She Is Noble contest. I love how Merriam-Webster defines being noble – it is having, showing, or coming from personal qualities that people admire, such as honesty, generosity or courage. It’s Keisha’s courage that makes her noble to me. She is fearless. She has a passion to go where I wouldn’t have the courage to go – out on the street, in the middle of the night, to meet with trafficked women working…
This past weekend I spent with a dear friend. On her farm. A real farm with goats and pigs and cows—oh my! And babies—lots of babies. I really wanted to hold them all, but the moms got mad at me. Don’t they know I am a mom and crave little warm fuzzies? It was so fun. Becky is amazing and thinks nothing of whipping up dinner for 3, 5 or 15 people at a time. This dinner she calls, “Schwag!”…
Picture yourself wrapped in a colorful blanket leaning up against a cactus. (Wait! On second thought, the cactus part is not the best idea.) The tumbleweed is rolling by. And you are wondering what you can rustle up for dinner by the campfire (or grill). Feeling like Southwestern fare yet? If so, try our Steak Fajitas Dinner courtesy of my sister, Kathie.

To think that the image of my face might give someone joy–not because of how I look or because I am their mother–but because the way I loved them…
Breakfast for dinner! Enough said. Mom on a Mission’s Jackie Brown is sharing her amazing Breakfast Casserole recipe which is perfect for those cooks who like to be creative (or a little daring) with their ingredients. And what serves as a better “side dish” than Starbucks Low-Fat Blueberry Muffins? I’m hungry for breakfast right now! Conversation Starters: 1. What 3 words best describe you? 2. When do you sometimes feel understood by grown-ups? 3. What can we pray about for you…
What is it about kids and dough? It’s just so fun to play with and to eat. My daughter, Emily, got in trouble at the age 5 for eating the Play Dough at school. Probably my fault as I am a big fan of eating cookie dough and my kids are too. Poor Emily, she assumed all dough was edible. My sister Kathie’s kids are still in the “dough is fun” age. They’ve had a lot of snow and she…
