I love this so much 😂😂 I grew up on the beach (sundress and flip flops) went to school in the South (nylons, please) in-laws from Texas (she had to buy me an appropriate wedding shower outfit) and now I live in Montana: clear is kind - we don’t know what to wear 😂
@sewistwrites
For me, part of it was the hair: one night they went to sleep with baby chick fluff sticking out in all directions and the next morning they woke up with regular hair doing it’s normal thing 🥺
@AmysMargin
I literally started a group text with my mom and sisters so she could give us the low down and 👇🏻 is what she sent us!! Apparently the hot flashes are the only thing she remembers?!? How?
@MeredithMpinga
When they were younger I got an “Okay to Wake” clock. There wasn’t an alarm, instead it turned green when they were allowed to come out of their room. Now they just know not to come out before 7:00. So I get some minutes in the morning, but I also still stay up late 😬
@sewistwrites
He has not been attacked, but has anyone chimed in to hail him as the paragon of fatherhood for bravely taking a child in public with no help at all? 😏
@sewistwrites
One year when my husband secretly had my sewing machine fixed for Christmas, my then 4yo helpfully told me “not to look while Daddy sneeks you sewing machine downstairs.” 🥰
@courtneyrsexton
I even took my Sunday Selfie before church today. Which was good, because I bawled my eyes out seeing the fruit of God’s transforming power in someone’s life today!
@courtneyrsexton
I meant to grab a “ready for church” selfie, but instead you get an “after a 4 mile walk on the first 80° day of the year” selfie.
Thanks for having me 🥰
@ModestTeacher
Call and response is magical:
Class, class . . . Yes, yes
1, 2, 3, eyes on me . . . 1, 2, eyes on you
Flat tire . . . Shhhhhhhhhhh
Macaroni and cheese, everybody freeze!
@courtneyrsexton
Father’s Day lunch for my husband after church. Youngest off to camp today, everyone else leaves tomorrow. Happy Solitary Staycation Eve to me!
@kaylajohnsonatl
When my husband (who is having none of it with inspirational Christian media) came home from helping lead the college group at church and said we should watch it, I knew it had to be good. Now we’re watching it with our 9 & 11 year olds.

When I cook taco meat I usually make 4 lb., bag up three lb. - one lb. each in quart size freezer bags. So many times when wondering about dinner I remember my stash of taco meat. Microwave meat, refried beans in one pot, pick your tortilla, everyone builds what they want.
@racheljwelcher
I don’t know you personally, but I started following you after hearing a podcast interview. And being a pastor’s wife in Montana, you’ve got a place in my heart. I’m crying as I pray for you.
@courtneyrsexton
I’m hiding in my room from 12 practicing the drums and 10 and hubs playing Mario Cart. I could use a sensory deprivation chamber, but other than that, I’m good 😂
@courtneyrsexton
Sunday selfies are the only reason I’m on here today. Full disclosure: I touched up my makeup at 10pm trying to figure out why I was looking so weird before I discovered my glasses on the counter. So I added a bonus makeup free version, too 😊
@racheljwelcher
Oh God, have mercy! Be their Anchor in waves that won’t stop pounding. May they find You, ever present, in the midst of unanswered questions. Give the doctors wisdom; may they not miss anything that needs to be attended to. Strengthen their bodies, may their meds be effective.

Our seasons are different in Montana. This past weekend was the end of big game season. But I think the whole state has the Thursday and Friday before season off for the youth hunt days, mid-October.
@esaumccaulley
It’s been on my self for a while and this week it was my first summer read. It is beautiful and gripping. Thank you for sharing your family’s story with us!

@davidsharvey
Although I am under no illusions that the butter chicken recipe I have comes close to authentic Indian food, I am comforted by the fact that mine looks similar to yours 🙂
@courtneyrsexton
I lost my wedding rings that same way, but in a grassy field. Thankfully we borrowed a metal detector, made the 8 hour round trip again, and we’re able to find them. But why the drama for trying to be responsible and take care of our skin?!

@KristenL75
I’m dying over Diaper Buns 🤣😆 Such a sweet and hilarious moniker for an unknown baby!
@peepsaregood
I’m loving lotion bars for my dry scratchy elbows and frequently use it on my hands, too, when they are particularly dry.
@courtneyellis
It’s perfect. I teach preschool and have started conducting my yearly Mother’s Day interviews. So far the moms in my class range in age from 16-200. 😂

Sunday nights are for “breakfast for dinner.” Sometimes that means bacon from the local butcher and homemade waffles. Sometimes that means my boys eating dry cereal on the couch, me making a yogurt banana split, and my husband eating the other 1/2 my banana with peanut butter.
@courtneyrsexton
My face would look different if sinus pressure were visible. But thankful to not have chills and sensitive skin like I did last night.
Introduce yourself like a 4-year-old:
Hi, I’m Christina. Wanna be friends? I like singing and I love Jesus. Your hair looks like a nest and you smell like chips. I like that.
Can you imagine if adults introduced themselves to strangers like a four-year-old does?
"Hi, I'm Katie. I'm 38. Do you have any friends? I like coffee and 19th century British literature. You are really bald."
“He has given us the privilege,
since we have been rescued
from the hand of our enemies,
to serve Him without fear
in holiness and righteousness
in His presence all our days.”
Like 1:73b-75
Privilege can be a loaded word these days.

After the basic biology, we’ve kept reviewing internal body part names for both sexes. While being quizzed by our children on texting abreviations our 9yo boy supplied “uterus” for a “u” in some abbreviation I can’t remember b/c the words were just floating around in his head 😂
@CarissasNewLife
There’s one thing I read recently about Rahab that I’d never thought of before. She usually gets side-eye for being a prostitute but the Jewish spies don’t get shade thrown at them for going to a prostitute. 😒
