About Me

About Me

I am a wife, mother, daughter, aunt, and friend.

I am a wife to Hal and a mother to D (3) and B (7 months). I am a daughter of the King who longs to hear “well done good and faithful servant” at the end of every day.

I love football, sweet tea, and hanging out with my three boys. If I can enjoy all three of those things at the same time, it is a great day!

Why “Rubies and Rewards”?

“She is worth far more than rubies ... Give her the reward she has earned” (Proverbs 31:10, 31, NIV).

The idea to put this blog together came out of my desire to find a place where I could be encouraged to be the woman and wife God created me to be by hearing hard truths about what the pursuit of that goal looks like. A place where I could be challenged. A place where I could learn about who God is and what His Word says and how that applies to my relationship with my husband, children, and those around me. A place where I can be encouraged to know that I can lay my head down on my pillow at night and know that I accomplished something of value that day. A place where we learn that the value of a woman who fears the LORD is worth far more than any gem, and where we are reminded of the reward God has in store for those who honor our families and pursue godliness.

What will you find here?

I hope that you find sound biblical encouragement that strengthens you in your personal relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ. I pray that you will find Scripture, stories, and ideas that encourage you in your journey and challenge your thoughts about what it is to be a wife and a mother.

Biblical Teaching: I am confident that the best way I learn to take care of those around me is by studying the Bible regularly. A mentor of mine says that God’s Word meets you where you are. I am constantly amazed at how no matter what part of Scripture I am studying, I find it applicable to exactly what is going on in my life. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

We will look at a particular attribute of God’s character, look at a biblical doctrine in depth, or study a passage of Scripture. For example, the first month, we are going to take a look at the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

Meet My Friends: I am blessed to have amazing friends in my life. Women who have been blessed with many different talents and areas of ministry. I am excited to share them with you, but only for a day! :)

Meet My Mentors: I have also been blessed to have several women in my life who serve as incredible mentors. It seems that in different seasons of my life, God has brought someone along to teach me, correct me, and encourage me.

Encouragement: No one has ever said that being a wife and a mother is easy, but I hope we can share encouragement about how to enjoy our roles as wives and to enjoy our kids and not just go through the motions day in and day out.

Practical Tips: Recipes, organization, Bible Study, couponing, time management, entertaining toddlers. Hopefully this will be a place where I can offer practical tips and suggestions, and you can offer yours in return!

Laughter: Today as I was putting the boys back in the car at Kroger after grocery shopping, I thought I heard someone yelling at me, so I started looking around and I said, “Can I help you?” only to realize that it was actually Sir Topham Hat from Thomas and Friends DVD that had come on when I started the car yelling at me! It was crazy hot out and I had started the car while I was getting the boys in. I just started laughing out loud! D didn’t know why I was laughing, but he joined in. It was a nice way to end a hectic shopping trip! I hope we can laugh with each other, as well.


What you will not find here?

A mom who has achieved it all or a woman who has it together all the time! I am asking you to join me in my journey and grow with me as we share our struggles and victories together.



These are just a few of the goodies I have in store as we learn and grow together.

What is something you would like to see? What is something you would ask a mentor mom? What would you like to study? Leave a comment and share with me!
