This post contains affiliate links. Last week I posted on Facebook how happy I am that fall is finally here and got back some fussy comments about how it’s still so hot and it doesn’t feel like fall yet, sadness. Then I looked around at other social media accounts and there was complaining all around. …
Last Sunday I got a rare treat. ALL 9 of my children came for dinner. It’s almost become a unicorn of a dream…..that we would all be in the same place at the same time. Hasn’t happened in nearly 3 years. I heard about the plan a couple of days before it happened. They considered surprising…
At last I had an entire day at home yesterday. It’s been a while, between traveling and driving kids to and fro, since I got to just hang out at the house. Well, truth be told, it wasn’t 100% at home all day. I did have a breakfast date with my youngest son. Every Thursday…
The bug has hit me. You know the one….spring cleaning, or call it post-wedding-cleanup, or possibly “I can’t take this messy house anymore!” syndrome. Whatever you call it, it hit me hard last week. It was great timing too because all of my older kids were gone to the Christian Worldview Film Festival Thursday-Saturday, so…
I’m back from a week of “Mom & Me” time at Disney World. Last week I took my 14 year old son to Florida and we had a grand time, just the two of us. I know it sounds crazy to be doing these trips with each child who is still living at home, but…

In a week I will be decorating the church and getting ready for our daughter’s rehearsal dinner. Right now I feel like Lisa has disappeared and the crazy-wedding-lady has stepped into her body. There is so much to do that I’m getting up before 5:00 am each day to work on my regular life so…
This week is full to the brim….well it’s actually overflowing to the floor and down the hallway. I am just trying to keep it all organized. I am planning a wedding with our oldest daughter, flying to Orlando for a few days, getting ready for the Texas Summit (you MUST come!!!) this weekend and that’s not…
This past weekend while the world was arguing on social media about women’s marches and mean Tweets, I was tucked away with hundreds of women celebrating freedom in Christ.
I am super-dee-duper excited about the next few weeks! Why? Because I have a new book coming out! Woohoo! It’s called, “Tightropes & Teeter-Totters: Finding Balance in the Ups and Downs of Life.” This subject, struggling to find balance, is one I am closely familiar with. You might even say we were besties for years. …
