exciting news!

so i'm not sure if you can tell, but i like to write. and lately i've been wanting to write a lot. i have countless posts sitting in my drafts, still more swirling in my head. there's a message i'm supposed to be sharing, and i want to share it here.

the coolest thing happened, and this wasn't on my radar at all. for one: it never donned on me that anyone would want to borrow my words for their own collaborative space. and two: i just wasn't seeking it out.

well, a few weeks ago, Nicole emailed me to see if i'd like to author for Fancy Little Things as they're planning a major re-launch of the site and looking for more contributors. hesitantly enough, making sure she had the right girl, i said... um, yes. i would love to.



sooo Fancy Little Things will be opening fresh on December 1 [it will be closed Nov 29-30] and my first post will show up on the 5th. i'll be writing for the "faith" team, which of course i'm thrilled about. i hope you'll add Fancy Little Things to your reader or bookmarks and join the community?

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
