Sweet friends, I hope your Tuesday is full of sunscreen, bug spray, a lounge chair and a good book.
As the summer is winding down, we find ourselves grasping for those last few moments with our kids. We long to hold onto slow mornings and sleeping in. We cringe thinking about the chaos that will ensue once school starts.
Sisters… I get it. And so I encourage you to find new and fresh ways to enjoy your family between now and then.
You know what? We’ve had such a great summer.
- Sam’s heart has been healing and the effects of the bullying are slowly melting away. (thank you Lord)
- Sara’s schedule has settled down considerably which has given us more time with her.
- We’ve been intentional about spending sweet family time together as often as possible.
Wayne and I decided to use this summer to heal our son and connect deeper as a family so our kids were better set up for a great school year.
It’s paid off.
Well today at CWAHM, I’m talking about something you can do – as a married couple – to not only impact your kids now… but also help set them up for success later in life.
Click here to head on over.
For those of you who are not married, I encourage you to come on over and read what I have to say. I am especially tender to the road you walk as a single parent. You are courageous and brave and I bless you in that. Even though I am writing more directly to husbands and wives, I do have some sweet encouragement for you, too.
The bottom line is that we have to work with what we’ve got, right? And I believe with all my heart… God faithfully honors that.
Click here to come see me today. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts, strategies, suggestions and comments.

Thank you for the reminder to pour into my marriage Carey. Children take so much of our time… and their needs are often the ones that we meet the most. Thier love is so preciously unconditional. Good word for those of us who have husbands who equally need our attention, affection, and prayer. I am learning to pay attention to Steve and how I can better become his friend and companion. He doesn’t scream, shout, or squak like a chicken like my sons do. (Thank goodness!) However, I need discernment to know how to love him and pour into him as well.
Ginger… wise words. Yes, we do need to pour into our husbands in addition to our kids. What a job we have as mothers and wives. A delicate balance. God must really trust us…
