We recently went to Paducah, KY, for a family funeral. The kids and I were able to take a few hours and visit one of my favorite childhood destinations, Pounds Hollow and Garden of the Gods, in the Shawnee National Forest.

As a stay-at-home mom, I often do the same things over and over: I empty the dishwasher. I sort the laundry. I cook the mac n cheese. Everyday.

I add a little of my job skills to my life as a mom by trying to create order in our often chaotic lives. I know that my work DOES matter because I'm doing the job God gave me to do.
