Christmas Magic is Exhausting

By: Lyndsay Crews An idea to help mommas overcome the stress of creating Christmas magic: Christmas is my favorite time of year. I am that person that decorates right after Halloween and thinks that any time of year is a good time for a Hallmark Christmas movie. Judge me all you want. Each year after […]

Going Unnoticed

By: Lyndsay Crews Have you ever felt unnoticed or wondered if what you’re doing really matters? Me too. I like reading devotionals almost as much as I enjoy writing them. One of my favorites is “My Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers. (It’s sold over 13 million copies.) Little trivia fact — Did you […]

The Ironman Triathlon

By: Lyndsay Crews As women, we don’t always have a great track record of lifting each other up. Recently, I completed a half Ironman Triathlon. It was 70.3 miles of swimming, bicycling, and running. The Georgia sun was hot and by mile 2 on the run (the last segment), I was mentally done. That’s when […]

By: Lyndsay Crews Having a kindergarten graduation ceremony…really? And during the ceremony, I am subjected to a PowerPoint presentation with sappy music reminding me of the time I can’t get back with my kid. Cue the ugly cry.

By: Lyndsay Crews Flying on an airplane is great. Flying on an airplane alone with two small kids while pregnant..er…not so much.

Cut Off by a Minivan

By: Lyndsay Crews Stuck in traffic…with squawking children…while running late…equals high frustration levels for this momma. Then, I see a car coming in the rear view mirror. It’s a woman in a minivan using the right turn lane as a passing lane! I see red and think to myself, “Oh no she didn’t. I’ve been […]

Hornets and Honeybees

By: Lyndsay Crews Little fun fact about me…I’m a NBA junkie. (pro basketball) We live near the Charlotte Hornets stadium and I’m always scheming to attend a live event. Last season, I took my 4-year-old daughter to a game. Ya know, starting her early. (wink wink) On the way home, I asked her what her […]

The Small Things Add Up

By: Lyndsay Crews It’s shameful honesty time. I like going to my church for the fellowship, sermons and bible study. But I really like going to my church for the free childcare and a mentally secluded spiritual think tank. It refocuses me spiritually for the week. As I leave, I say, “Alright Lord, I’m ready […]

By: Lyndsay Crews Is there really any convenient time to go to Disney with kids? At the time of my trip, I had a 2 yr old, 1 yr old and I was 30 weeks pregnant with number 3! I couldn’t convince my husband of my genius plan to go to Disney, but I convinced […]
