Doug and I have been together for over 15 years. We met when I was 22 and have really grown up together. We dated for three years and moved in together once we were married. I still remember the first condo we bought. I would say over half of our furniture was hand me downs from relatives or friends. … View Post
A Slice of the Low Country I have never been to the south. I grew up in Canada and when my family would travel, we would head to Europe or California. As I got older, I realized my love for travel and would take a trip every chance I could as a young adult. I love to experience new and… View Post
Everyone is busy. There is so much to do and most of our stuff to do is good, but it can still be overwhelming. We live in a time that rewards busyness.

Mexico!!! Awww Mexico. It has a special place in my heart. We just got home from a week of pure heaven at Las Rosadas and as we were leaving, Doug and I asked our boys what they liked more: Las Rosadas or home.

As the saying goes, “A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it, it just blooms.” I… View Post
I think as moms we have to guard our time and say no to certain things so we can say yes to family. I have three boys and its a constant battle to not over schedule them. I value family time. The happiest of memories I have of my childhood are over family dinner, board games,or just bike rides with… View Post
I think sometimes I don’t pray boldly because of fear. I’m scared if I make bold prayers and Gods doesn’t come through, I’ll have reason to doubt him. So, I have realized I will just pray safe prayers. I don’t want to doubt God so I keep Him in this safe, confined bubble. The problem with that is God doesn’t… View Post
