It was a simple request really. "Move to the next lane. It is clear." Straight forward for most people. Unfortunately, I am not most people. Everything inside of me bowed up. I will move over when I am good and ready. And out of spite, I waited until the last moment to change lanes. You might be wondering what ...

Review: The Five Love Languages of Children
How do I love on my kiddos? How do they know that they are loved? These are things that really got me thinking one day. I remembered a book title that I have heard thrown around in conversations many times. I decided it was time for me to dig in and get to the bottom of my questions. The Five Love Languages of Children is a piggyback book of ...
Children with Sensory Processing Disorder
While surfing for some info, I came upon the official website of the book The Out-of-Sync Child. While reading the "Introduction" page, I found some great thoughts that I want to share with you. They sum up Sensory Processing Disorder so well. Sensory processing—the ability to organize sensory information for use in daily life. [While studying ...
Sanity Saving Scripture (aka Memory Verse)
I have been so convicted about memorizing scripture. Psalms 119:11 says, "Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you." Want to stay away from sin? Memorize scripture! After hearing from so many of you, I see that you also desire to do this but haven't had the motivation to move forward. So, I have added a ...
What’s in a Name?: Our Out-of-Sync Life
Although I don't understand 95% of Shakespeare, I do remember a few lines from his famous plays. Here is a line said by Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." While I see both sides of this concept, I believe that it is very important when naming ...
Review: No Work Spanish
Two years of high school Spanish taught me very little. Working with students of limited English taught me a lot - it would be very helpful to know Spanish! When the review came up for "No-Work Spanish," I was curious. No-Work Spanish audiobooks are stories read with each sentence said first in English, then in Spanish. At the ...
Review: Departures – Two Rediscovered Stories of Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen
As a teenager, I devoured the Christy Miller series. I ordered each book as soon as I learned through my Focus on the Family magazine that they were available. I stayed up deep into the night reading about Christy and Todd. When I saw that a rediscovered book was available, the part of my brain that holds all of my ...
Confessions of a Grieving Girl
Eleven years. Can it really be that long ago that my life was severed in half? With. Without. While my heart fights to believe the truth, my head reminds me of the facts. Eleven years ago my eighteen-year-old sister's life ended. Wow...that is hard to type. Eleven years ago, my family and I began a journey of grief. Grief that ...
Review: Princess with a Purpose
A few weeks ago, I encouraged everyone to purchase A Warrior Prince for God. Today, I will introduce you to the "girl" version of this book. Princess with a Purpose is very similar to its brother book. (If you haven't read the other review, be sure to before reading this one.) A little girl has a dream that she ...
Recipe: Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread
I have two favorite smells in life. The smell of a freshly bathed baby. Be still my heart. The second favorite smell is homemade bread baking in the oven. Delicious. While it might be cool to say that I make several loaves a week by mixing and kneading, I would be lying. I haven't kneaded bread for quite some ...
