Go deeper–is my mantra this year.  This year I wanted to focus a bit more on the depth of God’s love for us and help my kids make a deeper connection to that by being a vessel of it.  Obviously, this is something I should and try to do all year but this week I […]

I’ve always enjoyed giving my husband homemade Valentine’s Day card.  But when I came up with this idea one year when my first born was little I decided this would be our new tradition. With this tradition your kids will end up with keepsakes of your love for each other, a book, and your spouse […]

Have you noticed how much the word love is used in the Bible?  It’s the perfect resource to go to when you’re looking for ways to love others but it’s also full of romantic love notes for you to share with your loved one.  Songs of Solomon has chapters full of “turn red” love notes. […]

Some days I wish I could be back in school. I would probably skip over high school and go straight to college. I absolutely love learning.  Anyways I’m over at Babble.com today with this article, “What Students Remember Most About Teachers.”  And I shared this inspiring quote that makes me think twice about how I […]

I recently had a wonderful mother and friend  share that she’s been ignoring this deep calling from within her soul to play. To play with her kids. She proceeded to share with us as she paused in between words, the tears rolled down those tired but hopeful eyes and each word spilled forth from deep within her longing soul. […]

For the past 12 days since 1st of January hit, a little soft voice kept nagging at me saying, “Get organized woman!”  Though I used the word “nagging” don’t get me wrong I LOVE the smell of fresh white clean calendar pages!   I love the idea of a fresh new start and though it’s not the 1st of […]

Well, I love all things Christmas, family and friend gatherings, Christmas tree lightings, Christmas baking (that we are doing today), the joy that fills our community, Christmas carols, our Christmas advent activities…. But what I love the most […]

Okay, I know it might be a little too early for this Keep Calm and Jingle On printable but I couldn’t help myself.  My son has been dying to decorate our house for Christmas and he did.  On November 1st I was out most of the morning and he stayed home. When I got back […]

Though it’s hard to be away from our extended family during the holidays, it definitely has pushed me to come up with some of our own little family traditions.  And now my two oldest, excitedly expect certain activities around the holidays. When I am running around exhausted and I look at my husband and say, “the things […]

  This month as we usher into the season of joy, service, gratitude, family and yummy food let’s take a few moments with our kids to instill a value that they will take them a long way in life: gratitude. Do you know of anyone who is constantly complaining? Who points out the negative in […]

Why 21 Days and not 28 or 30 days to complete the whole month? Well, because I realize that we are busy people with busy lives and instead of beating yourself up for missing a day I’ve built in those “we just couldn’t get to it” days for you.  If you missed what this is all about […]

  I truly believe that gratitude can be contagious, so let’s shake off the whiney and grumpy mood we can get in.  And for the next 21 days, let’s become beauty seekers. Let’s train our  heart and mind to look for the beauty that surrounds us, the big and the small moments. The Tuten familia along […]

At night when I would walk into my mothers room to kiss her before heading to bed and sometimes I would find her on her knees, literally. She would be pleading to God for her children and as I observed her face it was one of true humilty.  This is such a beautiful memory and a powerful […]
