It’s simple really – get a bunch of girl friends together, and watch them solve the problems of the world! This weekend just gone was the annual Footprints Retreat, when the ladies behind Footprints magazine and Footprints Women’s Ministries Inc headed to the beach for some rest and relaxation. This year, we stayed on Bribie Island, less [...]

Wow, what a response to the post on my own experiences of the Quiverfull movement / Above Rubies magazine! With 34 comments so far, it’s definitely a new record on this blog! Today we have a special guest here on the Footprints blog, sharing her story. In the interests of fairness, I would welcome a story by [...]

Did anybody else catch the story on “Quiverfull” on the Sunday Night program? I found it particularly interesting as I met Nancy Campbell on an Above Rubies camp back in 1997. Funnily enough there was no mention of the Above Rubies magazine in the interview. For those who are not familiar with Above Rubies, it [...]

Counting our blessings is such a great idea, thought I’d revisit this topic again! So the things that made me smile this week, in no particular order, are: 1. That my darling husband and I had the day off together. It was like our second honeymoon back in May (for our 20th wedding annivesary) – [...]

  A friend of mine who is not a Christian loves attending her MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. Recently the discussion turned to their aspirations for their tots. There were the usual dreams of doing well at school, finding a suitable career, just being happy and healthy … but what really shocked my friend was when [...]

Miss 13 went shopping with her best friend on Friday, eager to spend her hard earned pocket money (she’d done extra chores over the holidays, which we had gladly paid her for!). She proudly brought home two items – neither of which we felt was appropriate for the wardrobe of a school girl – let alone [...]

Yes, we all have them … let me tell you about my recent trip into the valley of discouragement. Lately I have felt that our two teenagers are growing up wayyyy too fast (see photo above – Dion with his car, Julia and friend) – and my husband and I have been lamenting our lack [...]

I read a lot of blogs by mums of young children. Thought it might be interesting to share what it’s like to be the mum of teens and give others a glimpse of what lies ahead!
