This Blogging Life
While we were on our vacation last week, someone asked me if I was a stay-at-home mom. My knee-jerk reaction was, "Yes." Later, though, I wondered about when I'd feel justified in saying I'm a work-at-home mom. If I had to estimate how much I work on this blog, I'd say I average 3-4 hours a day. ...

10 Things I’ve Learned After Publishing 1,000 Blog Posts
On Wednesday I published my 1,000th blog post and it's got me feeling reflective and nostalgic. I wrote my very first blog post on January 3, 2010. You can read it here. It was actually on blogspot back then and I named it, on a whim, "Our Daily Bread." I clearly didn't have much of a plan when I ...
