If you are on Facebook, you probably know you can become a “fan” of lots of different things: stores, potato chips, restaurants, TV shows.

I have a confession to make. Everyone in this house has gone a little crazy. We’re all love sick. Our big excitement of the day revolves around this little person and her nap schedule. When she wakes up, it’s a mad dash to look at her. The kids keep one ear on her “walkie talkie”…

What is this strange force that takes over the mind and body of a woman in her final days of pregnancy? It makes no sense. She feels about as poorly as she ever will. Her back and legs hurt. She should be sitting with her feet up. And yet, she can’t sleep until she cleans…
I’ve been working hard lately to improve my skills at saying, “yes”. I love to do things for other people. I love that great feeling you get when you drop off a meal for someone or do something unexpectedly nice for someone in need. But I’m not very good at accepting help. I always have…
I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! Ours was perfect. My parents, three siblings, one brother-in-law and eight of my nieces and nephews joined us at our house on Thanksgiving Day since I wasn’t able to travel. The best part? THEY brought all of the food. All we had to do was cook the turkey…
