[html]May you have a child just like you!             We jokingly call it the Mother’s Curse. If you are a mom and have experienced a challenging child, you may have said it yourself. I’ve gotten a few giggles out of seeing my nieces and nephews stump my siblings in...

[html]If you own pets, you’ve experienced the fun of coming home to utter destruction. If you haven’t, read on my friend. I’ll share a little of my own with you. Ricky and Lucy, my two hooligans, love to be with us. In fact, they’re both lying beside my stool as I...

I'm grateful to take part in a writers critique group with some talented artists. eMarie is one of my favorites and her new book [i]A Snowflake's Adventure[/i] is adorable. She was kind enough to share her blog with me to celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow....

I don't understand how my dogs aren't bald. Two beautiful huskies—Lucy, a Siberian mix, and Ricky, a Malamute mix—live with my spouse and me. They can be a hot mess some days as they shed terribly. If I spend an hour brushing them and remove a pillow's...

One of my favorite things about living on a farm is the animal babies. Who doesn’t love to see the first wobbly steps of a newborn? With pastures full of cows, we have a fair share of new calves each year. Birthing season is starting again soon, and we’re excited to...

Where Have All the Good Eggs Gone? By Angela D Shelton There’s nothing like a farm-fresh egg for breakfast. If you don’t believe me, just ask Ricky and Lucy, my two huskies. They would prefer our farm eggs to the dog food we keep pushing on them. I usually give eggs...

Today I’m excited to introduce a new book by a fellow Christian author, Jodie Wolfe. Jodie has shared the opening scene to [i]Protecting Annie[/i] with me. [center]>[/center] [b]Burrton Springs, Kansas August 1, 1876[/b] Death paced close enough for Annie McPherson...

[p]Ever drive by a row of broken fences and wonder what happened? Why would the owner leave them in such disrepair? Then again, ever feel like you’re a broken fence? I only ask because I am, in fact, a broken fence. I’m not literally a fence but hang with me, and I’ll...
