In the month of August, I was invited to share with a small group of homemaking mothers. These ladies gather regularly to meet and share their needs with each other. One of the ladies asked if I could share a devotion and any other topics that I felt was appropriate with these ladies. As I prayed […] Read more…
Ezzo Bashing
Time and time again whenever scheduling comes up with regards to a newborn baby, someone would bring up the Ezzos and then what I call the Ezzo-bashing would start. Many of those who bash them haven’t even read their books. What they have read are comments or blogs by others who may or may not […] Read more…
Looking back
The other day while out, I saw a mom who had a baby in a sling and was holding on to her 2 pre-schoolers, one in each hand, crossing the road. She was obviously dropping off the older 2 at the nearby preschool. Immediately that opened a floodgate of memories for me. Handling 3 young children […] Read more…
Just a mom
To be a stay at home mother is considered by many to be a waste of our education. Even in Christian circles. We are supposed to be doing something “useful” with our lives and degrees. Something not related to child raising, unless it is with regard to other people’s children. Read more…

Militant or Enthusiastic?
I was thinking about this recently : being enthusiastic about certain things and choosing to walk against the tide can come across to some people as being militant rather than enthusiastic. The more it is against the norm, the louder (literally and figuratively) we tend to get since no one else is on our side. But this […] Read more…
Yeast as the Culprit
If you have seen A Story in Pictures, I am very sure that you have been waiting anxiously for me to tell you how God healed me 🙂 Before you read this, you ought to read Repenting of Pride and Chided. I strongly believe that if I had not repented of pride, of being judgemental and of […] Read more…
How Should I Answer?
Most people know that my daughter and I have battled the eczema beast the past few years. It has been a tiring battle. And we have not fully defeated it at this point. But everyone can see that great tremendous progress has been made and we are continuing to make. So they come and ask […] Read more…
Walking the Teenage Years
The teen years can be rather trying because boundaries are being pushed and need to be re-looked and negotiated. Parents, too, have to adjust to a more assertive child. But I truly believe that if we pray continually for them and keep the communication lines open, we will pass the teen years largely unscathed, by the grace of God. Read more…
Choosing not to waver
Whenever you choose not to follow the crowd, you will, at various points of the journey, second guess yourself. I think it is just part and parcel of walking against the tide. Which can be a good thing – it can either solidify your position clearly or it can show up its inadequacy which will […] Read more…
