Our (court) order includes a holiday schedule. We get our little buddy on Christmas, they get him on Christmas Eve. When you say it that way, it seems so, oh, I don’t know, legal. Which it is and it isn’t. Anyways, a few weeks before Christmas I felt it in my spirit to invite them… [Continue Reading]
Mugs Matter
I love a good mug. Handle has to fit at least two fingers. Three is even better. Purple takes it to another level. However, what makes this mug my new favorite, besides the fact it was gifted to me by an amazing mentor and friend… Is that the purchase of this mug provides 56 meals… [Continue Reading]
Just Say No
As of late, I’ve had several conversations with friends who are so overwhelmed because they can’t say no. I get that it feels good to be needed by others.

The sun moved quick as it was setting, but I think I caught a pretty good shot!!! “Sunsets are proof that no matter what… [Continue Reading]

In the past twenty-one months, we’ve become family, not only with Asher, but with his great-grandparents, who he lives with. Today,… [Continue Reading]
Lesson Learned
I just realized that Facebook has deleted all of my FB Live videos from the past few months. My #keto Costco haul is gone. My Mother’s Day message is gone. My Wild Blueberry Scone recipe is gone. Coffee talk with Tom & Vanessa is gone. Along with many, many, more gone. Lesson learned. Always download your videos… [Continue Reading]
