A Bigger Picture Moment (and an actual picture)
Do you ever feel that your life needs a complete overhaul? I have felt that way lately. I can’t pinpoint the specific moment it happened, but sometime this week I realized that I have to pare down. I don’t do very much outside the home, but it honestly doesn’t take a lot to overwhelm me. [...]
Free 3-month Amazon Prime Subscription! Woo hoo!

Sometimes I read blogs and think that other people have everything figured out. I know they don’t (no one really does), but it can cause me to wonder why I am not quite as “with it” as these other mothers. I don’t want any reader here to ever feel looked down on. It is my [...]
