I just woke up from a restless sleep – I had a dream I was trying to make a low side bun. But my hair wouldn’t cooperate and I was late to a wedding because I kept have to redo my hair. I think 7 times I tried before I woke up! And now, I’m […]

This trip is a very obvious and tangible example of how my husband blesses me. When we got married, I remember expressing my desire to take was one of our vacations to San Diego. It’s a great place, but more than that, my Grandpa lives there. So at the end of this past year, we […]

If there is something to love about the coming of spring, it’s flowers in bloom and The Masters. Maybe you aren’t the “watch golf on tv” type.
