All ten all dressed up at our daughter Bethany's DC wedding in January 2020. Isn't it a dream?
Welcome! So glad you came to see me.
My husband and I have been laughing (with a little crying) together for 38 years. Our kids range in age from 37 to 12. Needless to say, I have often found myself in every season of motherhood simultaneously. With seven out of college, one in college and two still at home, I am (what?) at the far end of parenting. What a journey it has been!
I did not go it alone: I had help. I had mentors. I had women who walked beside me. Now that I am almost done with this season of parenting (we are never really finished, are we?), I find myself wanting to do for today's moms what others have done for me.
So come on in and stay awhile. I have so much to tell you.
Meet the grandkids...so far.
Let me introduce you to Jubilee, Ella and Aimee.
To them, we are Gigi and Granddad. What a joy!
Speaking of Motherhood
Every month I have a blast visiting with host Brandy Williamson on the Mom Material Podcast. Head over to my Reading, Writing and Ruminating page to join us for Nest Night, our monthly mom chats. The first chat was in March, but we will be meeting on the last Wednesday of each month, 6:15-7:15 CST. Below is the Zoom link and code for the July 31 meeting on Discipline. This summer I will be speaking at the Silver Bay YMCA family camps several times. If you're looking for a speaker for your next event or retreat, I have addressed audiences from Rome, New York to Naples, Italy. I would love to come encourage you.
