Did you know that most families only spend 37 minutes of their day together? Wowzers! With our hectic schedules and packed to-do lists, it’s no wonder that we have less and less time for each other. But, we don’t have to settle for this. Let’s maximize quality time with our family this coming year. Too many parents feel like their family is growing apart, but they don’t know how or have the time to fix it. That’s why we created the 60 Minute Anchored Family Guide.

It’s been a week since we celebrated Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving not only because of the food but more importantly because of the focus on gratitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Today, I am going to share five promises of God to be thankful for. God’s word is filled with promises. There…

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I love this holiday because it reminds us to be thankful for all that God has blessed us with. It is also a time to do fun family activities and traditions. Here are five simple Thanksgiving traditions you could try this year.

Our family loves time at the beach. Not only do we have lots of fun, but we also learn some valuable lessons. One of the lessons we learned several years ago was “Nothing is impossible with God.” It all began with a neon golf ball. The day before we left to go to our friend’s beach house, I handed each child a list for packing. It was all the necessary clothes, a swimsuit, a beach towel, a toothbrush, etc. The kids did great packing their suitcases. Nathan decided to add in a few extra toys from home. One of those toys was a neon golf ball. Micaela and Nathan both really enjoyed diving for items that summer so I knew it had to be for diving.

My birthday is coming up. I absolutely love birthdays! I enjoy celebrating and of course, gifts are an added bonus. In celebration of my birthday, I thought it would be fun to share 10 things that you may not know about me.

Summer is in full swing around here! We have had a flurry of activity. It has been fun but also wearing. Maybe you can relate? One place I love to go for encouragement when I am in a busy season is the Bible. Here are five of my favorite scripture verses to help you to thrive in this busy season.

Bethany Turner is hands down one of my favorite authors! I am going back and reading her books I haven't read yet. The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck is quite the page-turner. I love how Sarah's story reminds us that no matter what our past God redeems it and uses it for His glory. Sarah and Ben's love story is swoon-worthy. I loved this book and highly recommend it!

Join me at the Printed Letter Bookstore for a beautiful story of healing, hope and friendship! Katherine Raey weaved an incredible story where Madeline, Claire, and Janet felt like my dear friends. I cried with them, cheered them on, and even told them what to do. I grew in my walk with the Lord as a result of their story. I loved this book and highly recommend it!
