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.

Lately
I went to the beach last weekend for a lovely retreat with even lovelier women. I watched the sun show off two mornings in a row and I wondered if the moon was ever jealous. Glory. The sun comes up and my soul fills up. I've been thinking about being mom to four...
What I Wore
Nothing new today. I am finding myself on repeat tons with my clothes and that is not necessarily a bad thing. I loved what Hayley said last week about it. She is revisiting her No Brainer Wardrobe for 31 Days. It is rich with wisdom. Anyway, she said it is OK to have...
A Prayer for Moms this Time of Year
