It's January 12, and if you're like me, you've already broken 87.4 percent of your New Year's resolutions. But what about your bucket list? The thing I love about bucket lists is that you have a lifetime to achieve the items on that list. And while, in the back of our minds, we might realize that some of the things on our list are unattainable, still just having them on our list means fun times of … [Read more...]

Reading Challenge for 2015
Let's talk reading goals! I admit that I'm a bit of a slacker when it comes to New Year's goals. I don't choose a word for the year, though I think the idea of doing so is lovely. And I don't make any resolutions. If I did they'd probably be along the lines of, 'Don't wear yoga clothes four days a week.' 'Spend less time procrastinating writing and more time actually writing.' <But … [Read more...]
My One Word, A Bible Tool I’m loving, & A Giveaway

A Priceless Bridal Shower … on a budget!
My oldest daughter is getting married in May! (You may have seen a previous post.) And she was only home in Little Rock for a month, which means lots of wedding planning, picking out a dress, checking out the reception spot, and having a bridal shower. Talk about busy! (And that doesn't include Christmas, New Years, everyone in the family getting strep, book edits and deadlines on another book, … [Read more...]
Do you have a word for 2015?
Have you ever asked God to give you a "word" for the year? I hadn't until I started meeting with a group of writers several years ago (I'm waving to you, Robin!) and a few of them had done it. Ever since, we've prayed together asking the Lord to show us something specific he wants each of us to focus on for the year. I'll be the first to admit that some years February has rolled around and I … [Read more...]
A Year in Review
It’s popular this time of year for TV specials to review the past 12 months and remind us of all the events that occurred. I did something similar on January 1st and looked at my own year in review. Every morning during my quiet time I keep a journal, jotting down what I’ve been doing, what I’m praying for, and any insights that God shows me as I read my Bible. Sometimes it’s easy to miss the … [Read more...]

My Secret to Juggling Life
Often I'm asked, "What's your secret to juggling life?" Most people wonder how I manage being a mom of five kids and having a full time writing career. My days are jam-packed with teaching my kids, and my afternoons and evenings are crazy-busy with running them to all of their various activities. In addition, I try to squeeze in all of the responsibilities that come with being an author. … [Read more...]
What’s the last e-book you’ve downloaded?
Did you get a new e-reader for Christmas? If yes, what kind did you get? Me? I've still got my trusty Kindle PaperWhite, which I love and use nearly every day. Yes, I still love holding a "real" book. But the convenience of having so many books in the palm of your hand is just flat intoxicating and more than a little heady. : ) Just for fun, would you share… The name of the last book … [Read more...]
