So super proud of my husband lately. He’s wanted to run for office since he was about 10, and now he’s following through with his dream. You can check out his website here: District 45 State Rep. I could not imagine anyone better to represent the public’s voice to our government. Dan is so full [...]

This is a video describing the different elements of the Hope Center Project in India. The project includes the orphanage, the school, a hospital, and education for adults in India. Amazing.

My email inbox is so overwhelming right now. I used to have a junk email address that I use to sign up for things I knew would send junk mail, but I missed out on too many things I actually wanted to read, so I ditched that idea. Now I get an absurd amount of [...]

The Pizza Crust, Emma’s dream restaurant, has been temporarily put on the back burner. My mom was recently telling my kids about The Hope Center, an orphanage that she has visited several times with her job at Global Action.

A couple of years ago when my nephew, Zeke was born, my brother in law had some tough choices to make about life. While his newborn son was in the NICU at the hospital, his position was dissolved at his place of work. He was offered a lateral move in the company, at 50% of [...]

My kids and husband left for Minnesota last night. They are driving out there, and I’m leaving tonight with the baby, we’re flying. I strongly suspect my husband set it up that way so he didn’t have to spend three days in a car with a crying baby… Or I’m really spoiled. Probably a little [...]

My first guest post on another blog, ItsAFullNest.com. So excited to meet others living with their inlaws! Multigenerational Living

Really trying here! It does happen to be 1:00am, but when else in life am I going to have time to look at photos of old friends on facebook, and friends of friends… and random people who I’ve never met but seem like they’d make nice friends? I haven’t done that in ages. Caught up [...]
