When you get stuck thinking romance is all roses and bubble baths, it starts feeling like something you’ll never achieve.

I never expected to have another baby, period. Much less another baby who isn’t healthy. And even more, another baby who “should be aborted.”

When he recommended abortion, I finally understood. That choice is for when the fear is suffocating. Sometimes scared moms want an easier way.

We’d been sufficiently warned. We were working against all the odds to stay together: divorced homes. Demanding careers. And now, a chronically-ill child. 

I wanted to be shocked that my 5-year-old kid wants a cell phone. But it’s the world we live in. Mandy at NextTalk says the digital world changes parenting.

John MacArthur told Beth Moore to “Go home.” Male and female opinions on both sides erupted. But there’s a bigger offense at play that no one is outing.

An Enneagram 3 to the core, I know I can change the world. Feeding hungry children, slashing divorce rates, and housing homeless: bring it on!

Later that night I told my husband thank you. “What you did this afternoon changed our whole day. Thanks for saying what you said and doing what you did.”

Right now there’s a mom whose 18 summers are up with her child.18 sounded plenty when empty sippy cups scattered the backseat. Now 18 doesn’t feel enough.

When my 6-year-old daughter with long, lanky legs called her thighs fat, I knew something had to change. I didn’t know body image issues would come so early.

While we might relate to the laundry list of women pressures, we have to be honest about why working moms and our husbands believe them.

Is it ever okay to deny his advances? Everybody needs an occasional raincheck, right?

I’m hosting an Easter party. You should too. Use these menu ideas and activities for a fun, easy way to share the Easter season together.

The sex talk and gender conversations in your home don’t have to be big, awkward productions. But they do need to happen. The sooner the better.

Making memories, passing on our faith to the next generation, is what our moments are made of. I try to focus on fully living in every single one.

One day David and his wife, Meg, realized they wanted their family to see that the world is a more diverse place than what they were experiencing.

What if our generation of moms decided to love the mom bods we’ve got? Motherhood puts a glow on any woman! It’s a look that’s well worth the wear.

At Christmas, decisions for an adult child of divorce become especially difficult, with both parents vying for your loyalty and attention.
