Welcome to my new blog!

Back in 2007, I started a mommy blog called Dinglefest. Then a few years later, I added a special needs ministry blog called The Works of God Displayed. Now, all the posts from both can be found here.

All new posts will land here too, as this blog will share stories from all facets of my life, from family to ministry and products we love to perspectives on race, adoption, faith, disability, and more. Glad to have you here!

When you're a white kid in the Dingle house, you might end up with a skin colored bandaid that doesn't match your skin tone. 😂 #trucolourbandages @tcbandages #diversityinhealing

I love finding my friends' books out in the wild! #doinggoodissimplebook #doinggoodissimple #BUYIT #helponenow @chrismarlow

"Can we read a little bit more? Like three minutes? I'll set a timer on my phone." -Zoe (Note: She has no phone. It's pretend.) #isaidyes #duh

Our Zoe girl had her first horse show - and first ribbon - today on her trusty pony Peanut 💜

Friends, it's been a hard week. Remember to pause to care for yourself too. (poem by nayyirah waheed, of course. who else? i love her so.)

I love nayyirah waheed's way with words.

Celebrating the ministry of #HopeReins tonight and sharing some of our family's story @hopereinsnc

We got home, and Philip said, "um, mom? Patience is sleeping on me." So, of course, I asked if I could take a picture before Lee carried her to her bed. #bettertogether

It's a hard life, huh? Methinks I need to consider a non-white slipcover to this chaise in my office (or, as the kids say, "couch bed") since this is Charlotte's favorite lounging spot. #dogsofinstagram #itstheirhousewejustlivehere

I have a new RENTAL (all caps to clarify that we haven't gotten word yet about Pluto's expected demise... she might pull through!) because I didn't love the Chevy I had. Lee tried to convince the kids that the white Chevy had evolved into this, but Robbie said, "yeah. Or maybe Mom just crashed again, so she needed something new." Thanks, kid.

If you think calling me a traitor to my race is going to make me quiet down, good luck with that. #blacklivesmatter

Stop. We don't get to ignore the pain and then condemn the pushback. #KeithLamontScott #TerenceCrutcher… https://t.co/7tY9MYhaeQ
