Giff and I are sitting here in our living room with both of our lap tops opened. We happened to come across a website that is run by one of our old Christ For The Nations (Bible College) Bible teachers! Richard Hanner has always been cutting edge, but as Giff started to play one of the […]

Join Me!
I am not quite sure how to figure out how to move my weight loss ticker to show my weight loss progress. I’ll have to figure that out soon. But for now, my goals is to lose 78 pounds within one year. I will accomplish this by eating and drinking: 1200 calories/day 25-30 grams of […]
To Entertain or Not to Entertain…That is the Question!
How much do you feel you need to entertain your children?! It seems like I’m constantly in a push/pull scenario in my life. If I’m spending time with my children, I am not getting anything else done. If I’m doing something else, I feel guilty that I haven’t been playing with my kids. I also […]

One book in particular caught my eye as I was wandering around. It was called “Plan A Women in a Plan B World” by Debbie Taylor Williams. One […]
Family Nights
Family … that one word can evoke so many different emotions for people. When my boys grow older and they think about their family growing up, I want them to remember the togetherness, the fun, the solidarity, the safety, the love, etc. We are striving to have family devotions.
