I Just Wrote a Blog on My Facebook Status

November 23, 2019Leave a comment

Mamas, Today I wrote the following on my personal Facebook page and with the comments that came in response, I felt God telling me to share it further. I hope you find encouragement and if you feel convicted, please do not be offended, sis. This is a message of love and of hope: Sometimes it … Continue reading I Just Wrote a Blog on My Facebook Status

GUEST POST: People are Like Water

November 23, 20192 Comments

*Special thanks to Stephanie Trembley for allowing me to guest post!* I spent my tween and teen years growing up in the country. We had seven and a half acres, a horse, a huge hog, a mess of dogs, some chickens, and some guinea hens. We had a huge vegetable garden and a quiet life … Continue reading GUEST POST: People are Like Water

Why Do You Still Wake Up Early?

November 22, 2019November 23, 20199 Comments

This morning before 6am I have had coffee, read scripture, laid out clothes for Jaxon, and started writing. And this is what I call a slow morning. Why? I no longer have to rush to get ready and floor it to an office in Apex or Chapel Hill at a certain time. The kids do … Continue reading Why Do You Still Wake Up Early?

Gift Guide of a Hot Mess Mama

November 20, 2019November 21, 20192 Comments

2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Oh, Mama! I feel like I have hit the jackpot. I am pretty proud of myself! I have been searching for gifts that are meaningful, affordable, and are sure to … Continue reading Gift Guide of a Hot Mess Mama

Anyway in Any Way

November 16, 20197 Comments

Diary of a Hot Mess Mama has been a blessing to me, a ministry to other parents, a platform for growth, and, most importantly, a way for me to glorify God. This has been my baby, my mission, and my passion. I checked the stats today, as I do once a week, and discovered that … Continue reading Anyway in Any Way

Sit by Me

November 12, 2019November 13, 2019Leave a comment

Today I was gifted the most validating feedback. I made an impact with a reader. I felt that warm feeling of "being right". I was accepted. I was well-received. My heart sang. That may seem superficial, but the feeling brought so much gratitude and appreciation for growth. At a very young age I remember feeling … Continue reading Sit by Me

Searching, Worrying, and Milkshakes

November 11, 2019November 11, 20192 Comments

Today we searched for a new truck for my husband. He works so hard to provide for our family and he deserves a new vehicle. Also, his current truck is on its deathbed. It has been a good truck, nearly 300,000 miles good, but it is time to move on. We went to so many … Continue reading Searching, Worrying, and Milkshakes

Call Me The Repo Man

November 10, 2019November 10, 20192 Comments

Robert and I have been working with the boys on the difference between "I didn't do it" and "I didn't do it on purpose". They can say, "I made a mistake." That makes me proud! We talk about the importance of owning our truth and our actions. THE WHOLE HOUSE apologizes, admits fault, and hugs … Continue reading Call Me The Repo Man

How to Support Another Mama

November 8, 2019November 9, 20198 Comments

I spoke with a mama-friend earlier this week and it dawned on me that her situation was totally different than my own, but I had no difficulty at all in identifying with what she shared. She told me that this blog meant a lot to her even though she had adult children. She said that … Continue reading How to Support Another Mama

Llamas, Mamas, and Eagles

Yesterday Robert and I joined 80-something other vendors at the annual Crafty Llama event at Divine Llama Vineyards. The event raises money for Financial Pathways of the Piedmont, which is a nonprofit that educates different members of the community to handle financial crises, build wealth, and become financially independent. We love this event and because … Continue reading Llamas, Mamas, and Eagles
