Everything started here
I started writing on a blog called 29 Lincoln Avenue sixteen years ago. The name for my first blog came from the street address of the home I grew up in a small town in Southern Indiana. I loved the idea of inviting you into my “blog home” every week.
It was through learning to write and create content there (and then here) that I discovered my love for words and my voice as a writer. When I started, Twitter and Facebook were the rage and blogging found a unique place that would be writers (like me) were able to practice publishing more than a handful of words at at time.
Through blogging I started writing books. I am eternally grateful for that opportunity to put something more of my heart in the hands of those who are bookish by nature.
But even with Instagram, youTube, and every other social media option out there—I still love to add a few words here.
And I suspect I always will.

Are you overwhelmed?
This past weekend I had a mini-melt down over ordering books and such for our school year. Today, my husband gave me some delightful news which translated in my head sounded like one more thing I had to do. God knew this when he led me to my study of Titus 1:4 in the...
What I Wore
We are back from vacation and what I have come to realize is there needs to be another word for vacation for moms. I love getting away from normal every day life with my people. I even like (a little) our time in the van which seems somewhat timeless. But, it really...
