We are moving! Or we are trying! Last week I shared that I had fallen into my hole. Today, I want to explain a little bit as to why and share some of the exciting things we have facing us as we move forward. For about a year and a half, we have been talking and praying about what was next for us as a family. There have been a series of events like our best friends moving across the country and our family month-long road trip. These have been chapters in "our story" and have given us the Continue Reading
Hey Girl
Hey Girl! If you've spent 10 minutes online in the past year I'm sure you've come across the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" quotes. Sometimes I'll read one that will have me laughing for days. My friends and I have made it a habit to text new ones to each other to share in the laughs.

Laying in bed last night, I was reading the other lady's posts at the link up party. Oh Continue Reading

It has been a long week. I shared at the beginning of the year that my word for the year is CHANGE. I've also hinted to big things coming for us as a family. Everything we've been thinking and moving towards was on track and could not be more exciting. That is until this past week. We had a huge set back. Continue Reading
Networking {and links to a special giveaway!}
What do you think of when you hear the word networking? Do you view it with a positive or negative connotation? I think a year ago I would have thought through the term networking as a manipulation or way to get your needs or desires met.
