by Skye Wensing I have been married for nearly 6 years now, and I love being married to my best friend. But I have to say, marriage is work, a continual working at that. When we got married, an older friend told us, “You won’t just float into a spiritual marriage.” And it’s so true….

“Good Day”
Speaking of the end of an era on radio, it was certainly that when Paul Harvey died. I’ve missed that signature voice of his, the stories of the love he had for wife Angel (and the way he always celebrated couples reaching milestone anniversaries), and his wishes for a “good day.” But I was positively…
Just Another Stepping Stone

I have a new favorite book on marriage. And for once, it’s a marriage book I can recommend without disclaimer—to anyone!

Support Our Farmers: Buy Local Produce!
Summer is here! The birds are singing about it, and the calender agrees, even if it does insist on being cool and rainy up in North Idaho. I love Summer. It promises happy times–barefoot days, watermelon feasts and picnics, and it is the season to stock up on Fresh, for winter is coming. One of…
Barefoot and Pregnant
I was seven months pregnant with our first child when Fairlight posed a question: “I’ve always wanted to ask, do pregnant women feel as cute as they look?” I laughed. I was beyond exhausted, more than glowing from the humidity I was unused to, and not feeling in the least bit cute. “No,” I had…
