Have you ever sat back and thought about the parts of your job that you really love? It may be the reason why you went into that profession or it may be things you realized about it, once you were in it. Even if your job is not your dream, if you are doing it day in and day out, and it takes a chunk of your day and life, I hope there is SOMETHING you love about it. Recently, a friend asked me what I love about what I do. Without even having to think about it...I knew. I love Continue Reading
The shop is open!
It's been almost 12 years since this blog was born. It began in the spring of 2009, as a way to update our extended family on our young, growing family. This was before apps and phones became the big way to stay connected that they are today. We had a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old and were getting ready to travel the USA as part of Matt's job.

This one little tradition of coming up with a word for the year has been woven into my life for years. I can look back on each year and see that year's word woven through that year’s events as a theme. It's fun to see how the years build on one another in such a big scoop way. Going into 2018, Continue Reading
My One Little Word for 2016: Courage
Its taken me a while to wrestle out all I'm feeling with my new word for 2016: Courage. When I think of the dictionary definition of courage it reminds me that courage is a choice. Courage enables a person to face difficulty without fear. It allows you to persevere and stand tall even though your circumstances make you uncomfortable. For someone who doesn't like change. I realize that for me to change some of the behaviors and patterns in me and my life, I am going to need courage. I Continue Reading
