What to Wear

What to Wear

  Ladies, We are always trying to figure out what to wear. We may dress our flesh, but often leave our spirit man naked. We are going to get scars, wounds, but how much better will it be WHEN those flaming darts come our way, that they would be deflected by our shield of faith. So how should we dress? How should we fight these daily battles we face? “A final word: Be strong in the Lord ... Read More »

Breasfeeding Baby Beyond Maternity Leave – Pumping in the Workplace

As my daughter is quickly approaching her 6 month birthday – it also means I am almost done with my goal of exclusively breastfeeding her for 6 months. I know for some moms this is easy. No problem. For others, it can be a challenge and sometimes it’s not an option.  Now, I don’t want to say that you have to breastfeed – please, just make sure that your baby is fed! But for me, as long as it...

What It’s Really Like to Have an Identical Twin – and Finding out at Age 33!

Ok yes, I knew I was a twin my whole life, but for the first 33 years, we were told we were fraternal.   First question EVERYBODY asks when I mention that I have a twin sister is – Are you identical or fraternal? My response was always that we are fraternal, but look VERY similar!

They were listening to the radio and singing along to one of the songs. All of a sudden my youngest stops and says, “I need to make memories so later in life I can remember how good my life was.”  I instan... Read More »

Shut Up and Dance with Me – How to Lead and How to Follow

Ah, Summer. Season of weddings and first dances. For some, learning the perfect dance can be just as beneficial and effective as premarital counseling. For me, this one activity became an object lesson in how to lead and how to follow – on and off the dance floor. There we were in the middle of the dance floor, learning the box step and trying to remember the fancy add-ons we had learned the lesso... Read More »

Stress Doesn’t Last Forever

From time to time we all stress out about something. Whether it be school, work, friends or family, stress seems to be the “dark cloud” in our daily lives. There may be times when you think that you might as well give up, times when you think nothing could be worse! But that doesn’t have to be the case!

What Blogging Is Really Like – Sharing And Caring

When I first started blogging, I thought I should write a full story of my life. Then I thought I should write all of my thoughts. After a few years, I know that my orientation about blogging was changing! Blogging is about keeping my working portfolios. I’ve been a blogger since 2009, and now when I read my old posts, they make “aha” moments. From the old posts I know when I mastering certa... Read More »
