The last few years I have chosen a word to reflect on and grow in during the coming year. This year I hadn’t planned on doing it but then a word kept coming to me time and time again. G R A C E Extending grace to friends and strangers is something I want to […]

I have been making a list of some of our favorite books to read with children at Christmas time. I love when parents do a “book-advent-calendar” with their children. Or you can save the special books each year and tuck them into a basket in your family room. Maybe place a cozy blanket next to […]

The past few months we have been eating a lot of different salads. Fast and easy is what I love most…and tasty! I also love using vegetables that are in season and you usually have on hand. This salad is perfect for any side dish or if you add pasta and chunks of fresh mozzarella, […]

My hope is to […]
