The Wyma family’s year-long experiment to dispel the sense of entitlement that permeates society from their home. With humor and wisdom, Kay shares successes, failures, and practical ideas from the trenches.

“Cleaning House is both a beautifully told story and a practical guide to parenting in today’s complex world.” Michael Gurian

best-selling author of The Wonder of Boys and The Wonder of Girls

“With unique creativity and wry humor, this sensible, determined mom herds her five distinctly different offspring into an acute lifestyle change; namely, learning to master the inevitable demands of life.… With ‘a spoonful of sugar,’ Cleaning House cools the dangerous ‘me first’ fever weakening our American culture.” Dr. Howard G. Hendricks and Jeanne Hendricks

Distinguished Professor Emeritus, DTS

Buy I'm Happy for You

In her warm, relatable style, Kay Wills Wyma confronts the comparison epidemic raging in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our social-media feeds, offering remedies along the way.

“Victims of comparison drive-bys litter the Internet. There are virtual warehouses of new ways to covet your neighbor’s home, decorating skills, summer vacation plans, or Pinterest-perfect kids’ birthday parties. In this paralyzing culture of obsessive comparisons, this book is the detox we all need. Lisa Jo Baker

author, blogger, community manager for (in)courage

Kay Wyma hit a home run on the Focus on the Family radio program when she talked about ways moms can combat the entitlement mentality in their kids. In her new book, she scores another hit with an insightful discussion of the pitfalls of comparing your life to others, especially through social media. Her advice is timely and relevant. Jim Daly

President, Focus on the Family

FREE Stuff

Please enjoy the downloadable studies (all of which have been used in larger Bible study venues) as well as slide presentations from a couple of Kay’s talks. Points to consider: they’re free and they’re Kay’s. The latter of which means her faithful friend Typo is likely to have tagged along for the ride. Typo keeps it real folks, lest we be caught up in any perfection idea. We’re just traveling the very regular road together.

Enjoy 🙂

Bible Study

Lineage Ladies

In this study, we contemplate the women in Christ’s lineage while employing some Bible study methods to help us be able to confidently engage with Scripture whether in a group setting or by ourselves – all with the Lord leading the way. [Recordings of our Neighbood Studies Summer-study on Lineage Ladies available HERE]

Lineage Ladies Bible Study 5-30

Le Souffle

In this study, we consider idea of “eating God’s Word” as we scour Scripture to literally highlight (with a colored highlighter of your choosing) the Lord God’s spoken word just as Red-Lettered Bible editions did for Christ’s spoken word years ago. It’s a fun exercise that just might change how you read Scripture.

Le Coeur – a heart cleanse

In this study, we use the popular trend of body-cleanse and apply it to our spiritual health. Instead of juicing, how about reading? Instead of starving, how about eating – bites of Scripture every day for the next 30 days. Our Chef’s meals might have the look of a rigid program, but they are actually measured to perfection – to satisfy the deepest longings of which we dare to speak: our desire to be known and loved.

"On the nonfiction front, I did a lot of starting and skimming. A chunk of the middle of “Girl in Glass.” A few pages of “When Kids Call the Shots.” Pretty nearly all of Kay Wills Wyma’s “I’m Happy for You (Sort of … Not Really).” I loved that book’s message: We live in an age of discontent and envy, and if you can think (and better yet, mean) “I’m happy for you,” you’re so much better off."

From NYT Motherlode’s: Shelf, iPad, Bed Table: Reading, May 2015 April 5, 2017

"You were excellent! A breath of fresh air! I'm still thinking about some of your sweet but challenging words." M.A.

Kay Wills Wyma’s column, “A True Tale as old as time,” printed in today’s Times Record News (Tuesday, April 11, 2017) is an excellent and important piece that is truly worthy of passing along to adults, children and grandchildren alike. It is timeless—a "true tale" that would make C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, and J. R. R. Tolkien proud. She is quite a gifted writer and apologist for Christianity and has captured the indirect style and use of the fairytale and myth as understood and appropriated by these brilliant writers before her and throughout the history of civilization. - L. Staley, Wichita Falls

Kay, your words really resonated with everyone. Thank you for reminding us we were created on purpose and with YOU-nique giftedness.
