Fuller House Wasn't What I Expected Like the rest of the world (or at least those who grew up in the early 90s) I was excited to watch the spinoff of Full House. I was a tad bit shocked to find that it was not a family friendly show. I get that the creators were targeting my age group; the ones who watched Full House back in the day, but it's sort of a shame that it wasn't a show safe enough for the entire family to watch. Yes, I did watch the entire season. Yes, I did laugh. But overall I Continue Reading
Ten Things I Learned In February
1. Sometimes You Just Need to Sing It Out in the Kitchen Whether it's worship or an old country song from childhood, turning up the music just makes you feel better! This month I've turned up the tunes after a bad day. I've lifted my voice in praise after being overcome by His goodness. Nothing can describe how I feel more than the perfect song. 2.

I called Continue Reading
Eight Things I Learned In December
1. There's Nothing Like Seeing Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child It's been magical this year, simply because Jackson has been in complete wonder of it all - the lights, the tree, the gifts, Baby Jesus. He has perfected saying Santa, Ho! Ho! Ho!, reindeer and candy cane. He told us exactly what he wanted Santa to bring, which was the best Christmas gift ever! And Santa did not disappoint. He made sure to bring a train and race car. More than once I found the Wise Men and Mary and Joseph Continue Reading
Eight Things I Learned in November
1. Being A Mom Is Enough When I see other women with successful home businesses or with books flying off the virtual shelves, I can't help but feel a little defeated. I had a book signing this month and sold ZERO books. I compare myself to these women who seem to be succeeding and I feel like a failure. I'm not making any money through this blog. I'm not selling many books. Huh, maybe I should call it a day? But at 3:00 one morning, as all these things were flying through my mind, I Continue Reading
