Jean Horst (1,191)    
Jean Horst   
What to do with your kids all summer?!
In just a few days my three sons will be out of school for the summer. One part of my brain is cheering loudly, because I’m looking forward to the more relaxing pace our schedule will take and I enjoy my kids, it’s fun to have more time to spend with... ( added 3 years 170 days ago.) |
A Tribute To Moms Everywhere -
Laura Trahan (38,784)   
Laura Trahan
In honor of Mother’s Day on May 14, I decided to write a tribute to moms everywhere. There is only one mom, mommy or my son’s favorite name for me (that makes me cringe for some reason), momma. No matter what name you call the person that fills that role in your life or if you are a mom, Mother’s... ( added 3 years 191 days ago.) |
Gift Ideas: Make Mother’s Day Memorable With These Meaningful Gifts -
Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I urge all the men out there to listen up. This holiday does mean something to women. If your children are too young (or too ungrateful) to do anything for their mom-the ball falls into your court.
It is funny to me how many times I hear husbands say, “Well... ( added 3 years 204 days ago.) |

Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Moms Far Away -
Jean Horst (1,191)
Jean Horst
I love my mom! I think she's the greatest. The older I get, the more I appreciate her & value the model she was for me. Not of perfection, but of gracious living. Every year, I struggle to come up with a suitable Mother's Day present for her, especially since she and I have lived at least 1,400... ( added 3 years 206 days ago.) |
Easter Traditions: Ways To Celebrate As A Family -
Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
Easter is my favorite holiday of the year. It means so much to me because it is really the one time of the year that the sacrifice made for us by Christ is actually recognized. Even non-Christians stop to see the significance of the day.
However, I must say I never quite celebrated the day... ( added 3 years 220 days ago.) |
Birthday Ideas for Turning Thirty -
Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
I turn old this week (my condolences to those who are older.) As a kid, I always thought 30 was so old. I thought by the time I was 30 I would have so much accomplished, so many achievements. But this week it is here and I find myself wishing it would go away.
I used to think those women who... ( added 3 years 269 days ago.) |
Free Tips To Keep the Romance Sizzling in Marriage -
Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
Let’s face it. It seems the longer a couple is together, the more routine and stale a marriage becomes. During Valentine's Day, Americans focus on romance, but for many couples it is just another holiday that may warrant a kiss from each other before moving on to the busyness of life.
How sad... ( added 3 years 269 days ago.) |
Alone on Valentines Day -
Jean Horst (1,191)
Jean Horst
It's that season again that single people hate. All advertisers and TV shows focused on Luuuuve. A constant parade of couples, families and children with sticky sweet sentiment everywhere. Positively sickening for those who are alone and don't want to be. Very painful for those who have loved and... ( added 3 years 273 days ago.) |
Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Your Man -
Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to turn the giving around. Each year, I watch as my husband suffers to find that gift that will not only make my eyes sparkle with his romantic thoughtfulness, but also live up to the glaring judgment of my female co-workers. However, this year, I... ( added 3 years 283 days ago.) |

In Everything, Give Thanks -
Danny Davids (19,741)
Danny Davids
For most Americans, Thanksgiving is the holiday that officially launches the start of the Christmas shopping season. We end up being thankful that we get an extra day (or maybe two) off from work, and a home-cooked turkey dinner with all the trimmings, hopefully with family or friends. But for a...

Ken McCreless
III There was never any hound dog with a keener sense of smell than what Jack enjoyed. It was a matter of minutes before he was back on her trail. She was home now. Her parents had died years ago, leaving her to raise herself. That was how she had come to find the cloth. When the EMS crew carried... ( added 21 days 6 hours ago.) |

She was easy enough to follow, her threadbare dress stood out like a lighthouse on an isolated shore. She had made it herself, several sewing lessons short of mediocre.
Anyone with any fashion sense at all would question her choice of cloth. Even brand new it was a bland, off-white... ( added 21 days 6 hours ago.) |

I
His odor was that of a dumpster in mid-July. His movements were purposeful and silent, except for the clacking of the human teeth that made up his necklace and bracelet. Scratches in a macabre floral design decorated his wrist and chest where the chipped molars and incisors had left their... ( added 21 days 6 hours ago.) |
Liberty The Native Language of Life and the Living -

That freedom is the badge of America's
essence first impressed me the most when, as seminary students, we
drove in a 14-passenger van from the campus of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky to Washington DC. It was
in the early 1990s, and I had just fled the... ( added 128 days 20 hours ago.) |

It's been said by the Best that there is a time and a purpose for everything under Heaven, I believe it with all my heart.
It's also been said that a positive-thinking person will always make Lemonade out of life's Lemons. I tend to think that it's God who makes Lemonade out of the Lemons... ( added 141 days 12 hours ago.) |

Teresa Ortiz (11,020)
Teresa Ortiz
My husband and I married young; too young just two days after my 18 th birthday. Our first child followed within three years and there was no way I was going to be able to stay home with her. My husband immediately stepped up and helped with the "wake up every two-to-three hour" thing and I knew... ( added 142 days 12 hours ago.) |
The Tale of the Troll -

Dave Potchak
The troll sightings took place along I 99 in Bedford County Pennsylvania in the summer of 1986. A rather portly troll approximately 33 years old and rumored to weigh over 175 lbs was spotted (as expected) waiting patiently under a bridge that carried I 99 over state route 869 near the vicinity of...

Being a Mommy -
Sara Grisham (4) 
Mommy. What a wonderful word. I never thought I would get to have that word define me, but it does. In the dictionary, under the word 'mom', my picture can now be included with the many other women out there who have had a child.
I have always wanted to be a mommy. I was mommy when playing... ( added 182 days 22 hours ago.) |

Coming up with a title for this piece was difficult to say the least. I thought of something sweet and mushy, but for my mom, this wouldn't do. Not that she isn't sweet and mushy, but knowing her, she would respond exactly like this:

You Were There (A Poem For My Mother) -

Michelle Mackin
I want to thank you
For the Mom you've been to me
I know I scared you
Countless times so terribly
How many times
You must have wondered
If I was going to die
But you were there
When others didn't care
I hear you sobbing
For a child born premature
I feel your heart... ( added 194 days ago.) |
