I was restless to share my writing with others and I decided to do something about it. MomsToolbox started as an email newsletter in 2002 and evolved into a blog in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I&#8217;ve hosted 2 foreign exchange daughters (Emma from Denmark and Shari from Germany), guided\u00a0thousands worldwide in reading the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/bible-in-90-days\/\">Bible in 90 Days<\/a>, shared countless\u00a0daily devotionals, meal plans, recipes and travel stories from as close as staycations in my own city of Houston to as far as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/trip-journal-desert-safari-in-dubai\/\">desert safaris<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/trip-journal-snow-skiing-in-dubai\/\">snow skiing in Dubai<\/a>.
