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.
What I Wore : A Few Favorites for Summer
Confession, I did not get my photos ready for my traditional What I Wore Wednesday post. I did get my daughter ready for camp, launch a new blog, and swap bedrooms for my girls. I'm pretty sure this is medal worthy. Or at least chocolate worthy. Especially the part...
Sometimes, God Size Dreams Begin With a Whisper

When You Need a Vacation from Your Vacation
What is it about vacation that makes you need a vacation? Last week I had a blessed few days on the beach with my family. It was a sweet time for us. But let's be honest, vacation is hard work for a weary mom. Doing life out of suitcases and out of your normal...
What I Wore
So I know I was MIA last week with What I Wore, but I have good reason. I was here... And mostly I was wearing what I'm sure was a mom bathing suit. But,I won't show you any of those pictures for obvious reasons. We had a lovely time. I could stare at this scene for...

My Kindle reader is jam packed full with goodness to read this summer. Soon, we'll be taking a vacation to the beach and here is what I'm excited to work my way through: (FYI: post contains Amazon Affiliate Links, see below) Quitter by Jon Acuff: My husband and I are...
When Weary Lays Me Low
Weary lays me low. Do you know what I mean? Do you feel pushed down, beat up, down for the last count? Lately, I feel this lowness on a daily basis. The problem for me is lingering in the weariness and letting it take me to other places where fear, defeat, and anger...
What I Wore
Did you hear that? It is the sound of summer. Ahh, the beach is calling and the ice cream machine is cranking on high. We are ready here at our house. School is out! Woot! Woot! The heat showed up big time this week, but I did manage to wear both of my new...
On Risk and Storms
Holley asked us this week... What is the biggest risk when dreaming God sized dreams? My thoughts have been racing and I keep thinking of Oklahoma and storms. I'm trying to fit it all together. Sometimes you can't. But sometimes God leans in close and whispers...
Meet Here on Mondays and Help Me Write a Book
I have this crazy idea to write another ebook. In fact, I've been working on it for about a year. I've bounced my ideas off a few people through my newsletter, leaked a bit of it on my Facebook Page and Tweeted about it. The feedback has been amazing. But something is...
Favorite Things
One of my most favorite things of all is a Girls Weekend away. Last weekend, 8 of my friends gathered from all over the country to spend our 21st weekend together in 21 years. Though we'd like to say we started these weekends when we were twelve, the reality is they...
