Welcome to my web site

I am the deliriously happy, chronically sleepy wife of one remarkable man and mother of four little girls.

I am also blessed to be a speaker at national conferences, retreats, women’s functions and marriage seminars as well as the author of five books, (Who Got Peanut Butter on My Daily Planner?; The Chocolate Side of Life; and Scribbles: Sketches for Stressed-Out Moms), and numerous articles in such publications as Today’s Christian Woman and Focus on the Family.

I now live in a newer farmhouse, after our family lost our beloved restored 98-year-old farmhouse in the May, 2003 tornado. It is here that I swing on the porch swing, write, entertain, avoid dusting, play and eat chocolate . . . not necessarily in that order.
