The Chocolate Side of Life
Experience life's sweetness everyday...
Milk Chocolate Moments:
Flannel Sheets on snowy mornings; consuming a Snickers and a Diet Coke [to cancel out the calories] on a porch swing; sun-drenched laundry swinging from a line; buttery sunshine on spring afternoons; starlight; the laughter of children; a job you love; reveling in the last page of a well-loved book; friendship; holding your mate's hand as you drift to sleep.
Dark Chocolate Days:
Annoyances; tailgating; telemarketers; junk mail; betrayal; illness; loss... A spouse. A child. A friend. A job. A dream.

Scribbles - Sketches for Stressed-Out Moms
Does anyone ever listen to me???
Dirty dishes your husband "forgot" to wash! Lego�??�?�® foot acupuncture - courtesy of your kids! Kool-aid�??�?�® on the couch, laundry for an army, dinner that must be perfect and a boss who doesn't understand that combat fatigue is synonymous with motherhood!
Here is a beautiful devotional written for mothers by a mother! You won't find long drawn-out readings that you don't have time for. You will find short, to-the-point chapters that speak to your heart through the many things you do in making a house a home.

The Lights of Home - Scenes of Home & Heaven
You remember it from childhood. Flashlight tag, wide porches. Hiding behind the lilac bushes. The smell of Sunday dinner and the sweet sounds of laughter.
It's more familiar and more comforting than anything else you know.
It's a place to which you can always return and one day it will be yours forever.
Experience again the welcome glow of The Lights of Home. |
