Cravings {The Devotional)

The closest I will get to an Oscars Speech, probably. But you never know.

September 28, 2011

Since the Cravings daily devotional product, which hits stores next week, is not in a traditional book form I did not get the opportunity to have a thank you page. But there is a need to express my most utmost thanks to the people that made this little dream in my heart become a reality. This ...

The long, dark, & winding road.

September 6, 2011

All Dressed Up – or Running Around Naked?

June 21, 2011

I would never leave my house without first putting on a bra. Or pants. Or even shoes. (You just never know when you're going to run into one of those “No Shoes, No Service” signs!) And let's be real honest here . . . I don't even feel comfortable going out without lipstick. Yet not a week goes ...

Dear Daddy,

June 13, 2011

* My Daddy doesn’t make much of an appearance on the Cravings blog. It is a site for moms so I guess I shouldn’t feel guilty about that. But he is very important to me and there is incredible value in the role of a father. In honor of Father’s Day approaching I wanted to share about him. I ...
