With the arrival of Spring came new sand for our backyard play area. My kids have spent what seems like every waking hour out there scooping and shoveling and digging. This afternoon, we invited our friends over to play with us. The group quickly abandoned the idea of...
Why I’m a Mess & That’s Okay
I was on my way into the grocery store the other day (my life seems to revolve around very little other than shopping for food, making food and cleaning food off of dishes and people.) And I walked past a little vending machine with a small Christian magazine inside....
