My friend LuAnne Crane recently made one of the hardest decisions of her life. She decided to leave a job she has loved for 30 years and be home with her high school aged son.

How to Save Your Family Logo Vintage proposal a return to more romantic times
by Rebecca Hagelin
There is a lot to be desired about the days of old when a young gentleman got down on one knee and asked a blushing young lady to be his bride. And, of course, before that romantic and memorable moment, this same young man would have gone in person, shaking in his boots, to ask her father’s permission to marry the girl of his dreams.

Two Rings. One Vow. Logo We've Been Keeping A Secret
by Stephanie Dye
Life. Plans. Our plans. (These are all things that are subject to change.) We make a plan for how we see our lives going and then God reminds us that we are not in control of our own plans!

by Meg Lowery
Do you remember the feeling you had on the last day of school when the anticipation of a summer filled with fun, friends, sleeping in and no homework, loomed over your head like a bubble about to explode?

The Simple Wife Logo This Side of Heaven

Single-Parenting Journey Logo We Are Not A Broken Home
by Meg Lowery
I despise the phrase "Broken Home". It just simply causes a stir in my soul. It is common for people to use this phrase when referring to a single parent home, however this causes pain.

The God Who Sees Me Logo It's Time To Go Home
by LuAnne Crane
Three years ago the Lord unmistakably called me to work more strategically alongside Dr. James Dobson to help a small team launch Family Talk. For the previous 26 years I had primarily been a flexible worker for him... Read More

Two Rings. One Vow. Logo The Wedding Gifts
by Stephanie Dye
So I have a confession. After 10 months of being married, I just opened and used one of our wedding presents for the first time! It was the first time it had been out of the box and still had the gift receipt attached to it! But, I haven’t needed it up until this point… Read More
