Hi friend! I am so glad you have stopped by the site. We have such a wonderful community of moms here and we would LOVE for you to join us as we share life and learn together!
Family hikes have been our thing this summer. Every weekend we’ve sought out a new trail to hike with our three boys. And can I just tell you, it has been glorious, though it doesn’t always begin that way.
Before we leave for hiking we get the usual pushback:
“Dad, no!”
“I’m so tired from baseball. Can’t we just rest at home?”
“Another hike! What?”
When I was seventeen, my best friend, Tania, and I jumped into my white Plymouth Duster and drove from State College, Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, Georgia—straight through in thirteen hours. We drove ninety miles an hour nearly the whole trip. We were reckless and young and crazy. But, oh, did we have fun. Singing at the top of our lungs, windows down, not a care in the world.
Most of us enter into parenthood desiring to be the best parents in the world! We have pre-determined expectations we lay on ourselves based upon what we experienced personally and what we witnessed in friends homes. The moment we enter motherhood we want to be the better mom.
It feels like there is nothing left in me to give.
Have you ever spoken those words out loud or whispered them to God in desperation?
On any normal day, do you feel like there’s not enough of you to meet the needs pressing in?
What happens when normal turns into a string of chaos? Then how do you manage?

It may seem strange to you that a pizza joint would put out a worship album. But everything we do for the Lord is intertwined, isn't it?
Many people who eat pizza still need to hear words of hope and inspiration. That's why Pizza Ranch put out the Living Hope album, with the help of the contributing artists, of course.
