While on our road trip in Missouri, I was able to capture this lovely photo of my kiddos in front of the Sight and Sound Theater. They appear so sweet to me, especially as they stand in front of the statue of the Lion and the Lamb. But the pics posted on social media are

Walls are good. Just ask Trump. (Actually, I’m not talking about that kind of wall.) We all want a house with walls. Walls create distinct boundaries and separate spaces. In ancient times, walls were built around cities to help protect them from attack. (Cue Trump again). But sometimes, walls exist that we can’t actually see

Tomorrow is my youngest son’s 3rd birthday.  I still remember the day like it was yesterday. I was 33 weeks pregnant and I wasn’t feeling well.  My blood pressure had spiked and my doctor instructed that I come to the hospital to make sure everything was okay.  After a being at the hospital and resting

For my post today, I am going to talk about my favorite subject- ME! Ok, this really isn’t my favorite subject.  It’s probably my least favorite subject.  I am not a good discusser of me.  You know that whole thing about sitting in the hairdresser’s chair and spilling your secrets?
