Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Yep, more than 4500 songs in a month, you read that right. And that wasn't a big month for us, just normal. We play music on the main floor almost every waking hour of the day, and it serves several purposes: music calms, encourages, reminds and revs us up, it replaces the chatter of a...

All Moms know about the witching hour; the last sixty minutes of the day before Dad gets home and rescues you from Crazyland. For some reason, it is the time of day when the kids are at their absolute worst, more tantrums are thrown and messes made in this short span of time than the... Continue Reading →

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of tomatoes, which means it is time to make the sauce!

My Dad celebrated a milestone birthday this week. I can remember my grandparents turning 70 and thinking of them as so OLD, how did this happen to my own father? Honestly, he’s more active than most people half his age and intends to out-live us all, so the new decade doesn’t mean that much to... Continue Reading →
