The month of May just zoomed by, as I was crazy busy with adjusting to summer vacation with the kids at home, my part-time job, and everything that goes along with that. Honestly, I’ve been doing a whole lot of “looking in my house.” How God Gets Our Attention Thinking over the last six weeks… Read More »
I’ve had a blog (albeit, in several different forms) since 2008. I’m amazed by a couple of things when I look around at other moms with successful money-making blogs. Some of these bloggers have been online and working for a shorter amount of time than I. There are a dang lot of women bloggers, but… Read More »
I think most of us have an idea that God’s call is usually only valid if it involves foreign countries where you’re scared to drink the water and have to get a dozen vaccinations before you board a plane. But you know what? Is that being a stay at home mom? Is that cutting hair?… Read More »

I had always wanted to be home full-time with… Read More »
Today I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 7 of the Virtual Blog Tour for FaithLeaps: The Christian Mom’s Guide to Passion, Purpose and Profits by author Alyssa Avant. On the last stop of the tour, Alyssa visited Rosann Cunningham’s blog at Christian Supermom. Below is the great interview I… Read More »
FaithLeaps is a brand-new book from Christian mom and entrepreneur Alyssa Avant. I’ve had the pleasure to receive an advance copy of this book for review. I gleaned many insights from the book, but I think the most beneficial—and one that has the tendency to slip away from mind first—was that God made me who… Read More »
One of the Bible verses that stays with me through thick and thin and good times and bad is this one: The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. —Proverbs 14:1 (NIV) I think I like it because it’s appropriately convicting, yet practical as it offers… Read More »
