Here we are, mid-May, and the weather is finally kicking up the heat a bit. Summer is on its way. Growing up in the public school system, I am used to the 9 months of school, 3 months of summer. Though, in the middle of my sophomore year, we moved to a district that had …

The Beginning of Relationship Rehab
We live in a world driven by technology, a society inundated with new toys on a daily basis. I look out at all the changes and wonder where I stand. I want to be an author, to see my novel on a shelf in the bookstore (or at least on Amazon), but with the ebook …

Allergies, Work, and Life–Oh, My!
This last week has been awful! Allergies had me laid out for two whole days. Do you know what happen when the mama of the house is laid out for two whole days? The house falls into chaos! And it takes twice as long, if not longer, to catch up! Today, I’m over at New …

A Tribute to Mom
Today is my mom’s birthday–everyone say Happy Birthday, Ms. Sandy! I’ve always felt very blessed to have such wonderful parents (yes, even during THOSE years).

It was extremely trying, but God used it to relay some things to me that I just wasn’t getting. See, …
