*Disclosure: I am an eMeals blogger and receive my meal plan in exchange for telling you all about it.* Each year, one of my goals is to eat healthy, or at least to eat healthier. Each year, I’m successful because I realize that if I try to change everything overnight, I’m likely to fail.…
A much needed getaway to Arrowwood Resort
*Disclosure: We received a complimentary nights stay in exchange for this post.* A few times a year, we have to travel north a little ways. We could go and come back in one day, but it wouldn’t be pleasant. Luckily, up in Alexandria, there are things for us to do, like check out Arrowwood…
A love that never fades
As I sat here tonight, just getting settled to start writing a post, I laid down Charlie, got a hot chocolate, and put on some socks because it’s so blasted cold tonight. Then, he wakes up. Again. As he has every day for the last few months if I try to lay him down. I’m…
Family game night meets social media
I come from a long line of game players. You see, I have a large family. There are 25 or so of us at any family gathering. I love it that way because it means there are always game players, no matter what game we play! We are always itching for the latest new game…
Make lasting memories with this Christmas keepsake

Daddy left today :(
Since I’m fairly new to blogging, I will start by telling you a bit about my family. It’s me, John, our daughter Maggie, our baby that isn’t born just yet, and our two dogs Lady Jane and Buddy Boy. I work from home as a real estate agent, but I don’t work a ton, so…
Did we really find it?
When we moved into our house almost two years ago, we began our search for a church that was local that we could enjoy attending. We checked out all of the churches in our city and were going to settle for one of them. After going there for a few weeks, I thought, hey, let’s…
Our family mission statement
Today we had to go to the baptism class at our church. I was less than thrilled, simply because I just took the class less than a year ago, but they said they changed some things. And they did. One thing they had us do was to sit down and come up with a family…
