We were in a rough season. A valley of sorts. We weren't seeing eye-to-eye and every word said was being twisted and doused with lies. Even the best of marriages go through valleys where you simply want to run and hide for a few because it feels broken and hopeless to change. Fingers are being pointed and the blame thermometer is ...

Over 75 of the Most Delicious, Easy Meals for Your Family
source Last week I posted on Facebook the need for two dishwashers. Obviously I am thankful for the one I have but with the craziness of life, I wouldn't turn down a second one. Why?

When a Door is Closed…

How Many Hula-Hoops Can You Keep in Motion at Once?
I was the champion hula-hoopie (if that is a word) in my elementary school. For the contest, my PE teacher told me I could stop because class was over and there was no need for me to continue with everyone out long before. While I was super proud as a 5th grader, now I realize it was some nice hips that helped clinch the title. While I can ...
