This Unfamiliar Road

Whew...what a week! I worked an extra day (hello overtime!) and it was a good thing because we have been slammed at work. I think the heat is causing everyone to go into labor. My Mom is out of town, so Ben and I arranged our schedules so we could help my Dad out and watch my sisters for a few days. I forgot what it was...

A BIG thank you to everyone who has been praying for and thinking of my friend Ashley! Almost daily, someone asks me about how she is doing. Well, the good news is she is still pregnant! : ) She is now 31 weeks along and hasn't progressed in her labor. Mac & Paisley are taking this all very well (they aren't experiencing...

Wondering what ever happened with our house hunt? Well, we put an offer on a house about a month ago, and...bottom line-it fell through. I think the sellers aren't quite aware of the current market.

Her pregnancy has been very healthy thus far, but she was put on bed rest yesterday for preterm labor. Mac & Paisley are just 29 weeks, so they need to stay put a bit longer! At this stage, every week helps and their...

The 4th of July is such a fun summer holiday. We get to celebrate our independence as a country in the best way we know how-with lots of good food and friends!  Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow so no picnics or fireworks for me. But, I have enjoyed a fun-filled weekend off and will enjoy that holiday pay tomorrow...

I am really struggling to find an exercise program that I enjoy. I need it to be quick, convenient and FUN! I have started plenty of programs but lose interest quickly. I found this...wonder if it works. I think the progression of activities would keep me on my toes. And there are 3 additional levels beyond this one!...
