About Tsh

Tsh is the creator of this blog and a recent convert to kombucha. She's mom to three kids, likes her coffee black, and thinks a library card, a Netflix subscription, and a passport are some of the greatest parenting tools in the universe. She's written a few books, and her next is due for release with Thomas Nelson in early 2014. She and her family will travel around the world soon after—hopefully everyone will be potty-trained by then.

I really like “Of Santa and Jesus” — so true. We not true Santa-philes, no gifts from Santa around here, but our daughter has been watching Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph, and I love the glow of the Christmas lights on our tree!

But she also loves her manger scene, and wants to take “Baby Jessis” with her everywhere. I like the balance we have going on!
