Caleb

This is Caleb, with his little sister, Hannah.
Over the weekend, I received a FB message from their mom, thanking me for my books. And, I just CAN’T EVEN begin to offer enough prayers to this family or to thank The Lord enough for the blessing of my job.
😭🙏🏻❤️

Thanks to Briggs Racing!

Ohmigosh! SO excited to be scrolling on Insta this morning and see... “HEY! That’s MY kid! 😲”Thank you to Briggs And Stratton’s racing page @racebriggs for lighting up my morning! Lots of racing families in the cold Midwest looking forward to getting back on the tracks this spring (including a few nervous mamas; note the telltale signs of rubbing and bumping on that side 😧)! 🏎🏁❤️

Time to Decorate!

I needed to feel a little festive on a cold, gray, wintery day. I pulled out an old tablecloth, my mother’s silverware and these antique dishes. (Roses were on sale at the grocery store, $9.99 a dozen; I treated myself to three! 🤷🏻‍♀️🌹💝)

Trouble Remembering

I was trying to think of the word “pagoda.” (💁🏻‍♀️ Long story, but it had to do with a biscuit structure created by one of the contestants in the British Baking Show. ) I came up with “pergola,” which I knew wasn’t right. Had to Google: Japanese, structure, building, church.” Ahh: found it! (But, seriously?! How long can I still blame the pandemic for this sort of stuff?!)

Super Excited to Announce!

I’m SUPER-EXCITED to announce our next collaboration! 📚 🎉 Have you ever stood beside a tractor 🚜, or watched them at work on a farm? — SO much power, so many AWESOME attachments to do the jobs! Have you ever seen a combine harvester, running though the fields?! Oh my word! Amazing! HUGE! LOUD! 😲 I’m hoping to capture some of the LOVE that I have for these vehicles AND the admiration that I have for farm life and the farmers that bring food to our tables. 🌱 ☀️ 🌧 🌾
