Life seems to have a funny way of showing me what’s next. Last year, God showed me to focus on contentment. We did some of the simplest things in life. We went camping. A lot. I am not tired of it though, so that says something. Simplicity can be bliss. I also spent way less […]

What’s in a Word….2017 Edition
I’m not too much of a person who reflects on things. I always thought I was. Maybe the truth is I used to, and now life just gets so filled with laundry, dishes, cooking and kiddos, that I don’t take the time to sit down and think through what works and what doesn’t and really […]

Lost thoughts
There are days I have so many things I think about to tell you all. I grab my iPhone and jot it down. Fast forward 4 hours. Bed time has come and gone and I am sitting in my bed ready to write. But not ready. Instead I decide tomorrow I’ll write. That’s been the […]
