What does this mean for you?

It means you’ll continue to find encouragement here for Christian living.  

We’ll ponder on marriage topics with a Christian worldview.

I’ll share things with you that I’ve found helpful in the journey of parenting, including ideas for meaningful (and fun!) family activities.

And based on 2014, it appears you all have a great interest in the books Christian authors are writing, so we’ll definitely plan more interviews.

And giveaways—because we all love free stuff (as long as it’s not junk), right?

You know what I’d love for you to give me?

Your ideas! Tell me more topics you think Christian families would enjoy reading.

(First Giveaway of the year: Leave a comment below and you'll be entered into a drawing for a free 16GB flashdrive!)
