On this day two years ago, my husband and I walked into a situation that changed our lives forever. Nerves were high. We were anxious. We felt unprepared. Scared? Possibly. We were venturing into the most uncharted of territories. Two years ago today, we signed in at St. Claire’s Hospital to await the arrival of our precious little girl. I don’t think many mamas can look back on the day their little ones were born without letting out a few...

Restart.
The other night, I did something that I don’t do very often – I restarted my computer. It was running a little slow. My browser was not allowing a n y t h i n g to appear in the foreground.

With a little bit of trial and error, I’m very excited to report positive results!! I tried Suzanna’s recipe, however I did something wrong. The seasonings were just off and wasn’t sure what happened. {Of course, I know now that I should have just waited longer…} Anyhoo, I decided to start...

Thankful Thursday // 09
Our local community is struggling. Sadness, rejection, hate and discrimination took center stage … again. Another week of asking ourselves “Why?” I’m extremely thankful that during these moments of darkness, even the tiniest, thinnest rays of hope and change start to shine through – even if it’s just for a moment. Even if the glimpse is fleeting, only to return another place and another time. I’m thankful. It’s through these seemingly insignificant glimpses of hope that prove to us that...
