About 8 years ago, I met Stephanie Jankowski of When Crazy Meets Exhaustion through some sort of blogging something. Specific, right? I have no clue how I’ve made friends with several of my bloggy friends, but I distinctly remember connecting with Jankowski as we were both online English teachers married to math teachers. We both … Read more
As Lent approached, I knew I wanted to do something. Give up a treat? Give up Facebook? Promise I’d exercise daily? The one element of my daily routine that was missing the important “stuff” was my devotion time. When I received If God is For Us, a study of Romans 8, I decided to take … Read more
My Sunday School class made it our mission to walk through the Bible to understand it in a way that we had never understood it. Yes, most of us have spent our entire lives inside a church and in regular Sunday morning classes. We’ve learned the “basic” stories of Noah and Jonah and Job and … Read more

When I taught in the face-to-face classroom, Little Women was a story I introduced to my high school juniors. The course is American Literature, and the story of Little Women is iconic. Boys and girls alike were entranced by the story of the four sisters who are so very different but who love one another … Read more
Have you ever had a dream — a wish, a desire — that you knew would be just the perfect solution or exactly what you needed? And have you ever had that dream absolutely just not come true? It happens a lot to me, anyway, or my dreams are put on hold. It’s hard to … Read more
Once upon a time, I scrapbooked all the time. Or at least regularly. But then life got in the way, and I found myself shoving pictures and memories in to boxes. I did take the time to create a wedding scrapbook for Math Man and me, and I’ve worked on getting each kid’s first year … Read more
