I love seeing my young mama friends proudly show off their babies in milestone photos – at two weeks, one month, two months, etc. Every picture radiates love, joy, and a whole lot of sleepless nights. But despite the exhaustion, they dote on those little ones with unwavering devotion — as they should. These precious…
Happy Thanksgiving Eve to You and Yours!
Seriously… let me just say it plain: GOD GAVE ME YOU.I can’t overstate how much my Facebook and Social Media family and friends mean to me. So before the turkey timer dings and the stretchy pants come out, I wanted to pause and tell you how grateful I am for each and every one of…
Happy September AND Happy Labor Day!
Labor Day is more than a three-day weekend, a backyard barbecue, or a back-to-school breather. It’s a day to pause and honor the men and women whose hands, hearts, and dedication keep our world moving forward. I think of those who rise before dawn to keep our streets clean, those who prepare meals in bustling…

Humble & Kind
A song came on the radio. It spoke to me. The message was so clear that I asked my 16-year-old grandson, who is staying with me for three nights, to listen to it with me. “Alexa, play Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind”. Before it started, Brennan told me he had just heard it on the…

I stepped on the grounds of St. Vincent de Paul Church Saturday night and this sight welcomed me. I had to snap the photo. Those flags are a reminder of the freedoms and liberties that our brave servicemen and women gave their lives for and continue to remind us of those serving today. And, they…
