Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her. It wasn't 20 minutes later that we all realized what was going on... Mandy, her husband Scott, and their … {Read More}

20 Family Books

While browsing through our "personal profile" paperwork this afternoon, I realized that we have to provide 20 Family Books to be passed out to prospective mothers, agencies, etc.We did a family book when we went through our foster care training classes (through Snapfish) but I didn't like the quality, nor the fact that it was $20 (20X20=$400 yikes!).So, if any of you know of a good online company … {Read More}
