I am a Mom with a View. :) I'm happily married to my husband, Josh, of 19 years. We have FIVE sweet, beautiful kiddos. My husband works in full-time ministry, and I have always enjoyed helping him! Our life is crazy, it's busy, and I love it. This blog will be filled with topics that are passionate to me. I'm passionate about the Lord and HIS viewpoint, I'm passionate about my family, and I'm passionate about SOME current, political topics. Enjoy! :)

To tithe or not to tithe? That is the question many people have on their minds nowadays. Is “tithing” an Old Testament commandment that is now exempt because we are no longer under the law? Or perhaps for those who still believe in tithing, there are other questions that come to their minds. Do I … More To Tithe or Not to Tithe? That is the Question.

To all of the women out there during the busyness of the Christmas Season: If you’re not careful, you’re going to miss it. Am I talking about the latest Hallmark movie?

To Whomever It May Concern at Children’s Place: After online shopping and store shopping off and on for the past month or so, I have to say that I’m super frustrated by even the liberal agenda of retail stores.
