The other day while strolling through Target, I came across a Valentine count down—14 days of surprises like an advent calendar. I had been thinking about how happy my kids were with our Elf on the Shelf during December,...
Pandemic baby jokes aside - Valentine's Day might be the most challenging holiday to celebrate while social distancing or limiting your out-of-the-house activities. While many couples choose to stay in for Valentine's Day no matter what the global pandemic...

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about love and how we share it. Love can present itself in many forms – in relationships with God, friends, spouses, and children, to name a few. When you pray, you share your...
Valentine’s Day can bring a lot of emotions. There are some people who love it while there are also others who love to hate it. Regardless of where your feelings lie on the red-roses-and-hearts-through-arrows holiday, there are plenty of...

It’s just around the corner, you guys. Good plans, bad plans, no plans, some plans. Everybody is crazy on…
Valentine’s Day.

Around the start of a new year, external forces tell, remind, inform, and educate us on how to transform into the best versions of ourselves. Advertisements for gym memberships don the billboards along the highways while radio commercials boast...
Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes...how do you measure—measure a year?
If my kids were to answer this question, I guarantee their answer would be “in pieces of candy.” And if that annual number added up to anything less...
We don't typically think of Valentine's Day as a mom holiday. We don't really think of any holiday as being a mom holiday, except for Mother's Day, and that's not really a mom holiday and we all know it. Mothers...
