There are many things that I'm glad I have that I can attribute to my mother: Her good looks Her servant's heart The way she makes others feel loved My need to save as much money as possible with things If you understand at all that last one, then you know the word...
With Mother's Day coming this weekend, I've been thinking a lot about mothers. Mine wasn't around very long for me. She was sick from the time I was a baby and by the time I was seven she had succumbed to the cancer that desimated her. Then, my dad took over as...
The idea of bringing mom breakfast in bed is such a sweet memory for child and mother. She doesn't have to get up early or cook for anyone, and she gets to just relax. But what if your afraid that the thoughtful idea from the kiddos will turn into a...

When driving from A to B anywhere in the country, raise your hand if you enjoy going the longest way possible. Yeah, probably not the case for many (myself included). Well, just like driving, if there's somehow a short route for the everyday chores, it would be nice...
Some things are so easily taken for granted. Be honest with yourself: how many times have you gotten to meet someone for the first time, had a small chat with them, and forgotten what their name was 5 minutes after? Yes, I can blame it on a horrible memory (hello...
They come in different sizes, different colors, and varying species. Some call them a Companion, a Best Friend, a Family Member, but to most around the world, they are known as DOG. If you haven't heard me talk about dogs, I can tell you this: I Love Them!! Actually,...
I admit it, I love scented candles and wax that makes my apartment smell like I've just baked a billion dozen cinnamon cookies or just washed and line dried a load of linen even when I've not been close to the oven or the washer! I sniff through a batch of bars to...
With every status you post, you wait to see how many "Likes" you can get. Seconds feel like minutes, and than you notice you've been staring at a computer screen for 10 minutes, waiting on a thumb's up to justify a sentence you decided to write. Technology has sucked...

The idea of "Aging with Grace" is something that many would love to do. Personally, looking at my mother, who's over 55, I know I would LOVE to look like her at her age (trust me, the lady looks like she's in her 40's)! Yes, you could use serums, stay out of the sun,...
While many see today as the very dreaded TAX DAY, I can't help but feel giddy. Well, for one reason, the hubby already did our taxes for us (first time doing joint tax return, oooo). But the bigger reason is that this chica has officially been part of KVNE and KGLY...
If it isn't wedding invitations coming in the mail, the baby announcements are plastering your fridge, right next to your grandkid's zebra drawing and the reminder to go to the dentist in 2 days. As exciting as it is to have a friend, child or sibling welcome a new...

Today's morning show topic caused me to take a hard look. God is telling me to let go of the things I love. My plans? Turn them loose! It's all His! And He promises that if we'll take delight in Him, He'll give us the desires of our hearts. I SO needed to hear that!
10-year-old Josh was really missing his dad. He'd been gone seven months, missing the everyday stuff that fathers and sons share. Talks, playing catch, just hanging out. It's hard on a kid that age, even if he has a big brother to turn to. He tried to be strong for...
Do you want to be a wise woman who uses her words to build up those who listen? It's so easy to fall into that trap of tearing people down. Without realizing it sometimes, or maybe even intentionally, we criticize and judge others. Wendy Pope shared a Proverbs 31...
