It's amazing how quickly a year can pass. 2017 seemed to go by in a blink, and the realization that a new year is only weeks away reminds me of how much (or little) can be accomplished as life whizzes by. 2017 was a wonderful year, and it unfolded in ways I never would've been able to predict just a year ago. While most of those detours were wonderful surprises, I did end up losing my way a bit in other areas. I want to be sure that doesn't happen again in 2018 so I'm being intentional about ...Continue Reading

Our Son’s Upcoming Brain Surgery
My inner monologue for the last few months has been multiple variations of the same question, "How do I write this post?" Since I started this blog four and a half years ago, I've always struggled with just how much I should share.

To be honest, keeping such a ...Continue Reading

I love blogging, but I'm currently working on a lot of things behind the scenes (including a complete rebranding and redesign of the blog!) so I've been in a weird limbo state. I reached a point where I'd been away for so long that I didn't know what to say. It kind of felt like trying to reconnect with an old best ...Continue Reading
