So how has everyone been? I keep promising to blog more, but with work being extremely short, one kid graduating high school and off to college, another kid who is adjusting to his sister leaving. Family functions and some things just too much to go into, life has just been crazy. So saying all of […]

Here we are at Memorial day already. The year is flying by so fast. Hopefully this weekend has brought each of you rest and reflection, a chance to make memories and a kick off to summer. I am very guilty of thinking too much. I was thinking today of the sacrifices of so many. Imagine […]

What a day today can be. A day of showing our love for the mothers in our lives. A day of sadness for those whose moms have gone to heaven and a day for longing for those who want to be a mother. A day of so many emotions. We have so many blessings in […]
