Moms Need Friends

I finally got around to sending in some of my writing from a few months ago! My mind still feels too much like mush to write a coherent article, but I did write a few in the spring, and this one was published today on Faith & Family Live!

Children Are Welcome Here

Did you have a playhouse as a child? Of all my childhood friends, I only recall one friend who had a real wooden playhouse in her backyard. Her grandfather built it, and it was beautiful—a two-story yellow dream home! I loved it and always dreamed of having one of my own.
