My daughter is a solo performer in the art and sport of figure skating. This terrifies me. It seems lonely and vulnerable in ways I wouldn't dream of doing myself. To be a solo performer means no one is on the ice with her. There is no hiding behind the strength of another. There is [...]
"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Luke 6:45
There is a saying that say's "Paris is always a good idea" But when we found out we would need to take our nine and eight year old with us on a trip of a life time, we were a bit apprehensive. If you are considering taking your kids with you over seas here is what we did EXACTLY and how it worked out!
I grew up in a large southern family. Mostly right "below" middle class in my younger years and always full of loud noise conversations. For the most part the 1960 homes my parents were drawn too always had tiny bathrooms and tiny kitchens. Because of this paradox we were always shuffled through the shower and [...]

Ms. Joy, she was tall. Everything about her was so very, very tall. Everything about her seemed larger than life. I was a tiny, freckled, second grade, shrimp that looked more like a sticky popsicle stick back then. But she, ...oh she was everything I ever dreamed. I wanted to be her. She had a [...]
 The holidays can bring great joy and a schedule full of parties. Which in turn can create stress and busyness. Especially if you are hosting. I have personally done almost every event under the sun. I have hosted 32 family members for Thanksgiving and done an event that only had three people. I've had [...]
My son's favorite super hero is The Flash. Everything faster is better in his mind. He runs whenever he can. The "Tank" was his nick name as a toddler, not because he was huge but because he would bulldoze over everything at breakneck speeds. His teacher's say his favorite thing right now is to finish [...]
