When you’re shopping or preparing your family meals….do you consider heart health? I’m on a mission to help OPEN your eyes and HELP you think about heart health when(…)
No matter if you’ve been married two years or twenty plus years…date night is an important part of keeping a marriage hopping and happening. With the busy schedules that encircle our daily lives…we forget to take time for ourselves (let along, the two of us). Date night doesn’t have to be an extravagant event.(…)
Fast Chicken Cars… You did hear me correctly! On a recent shopping trip to Walmart, Eli and I discovered Tyson’s Popcorn Chicken and the pre-sale of Fast & Furious 6 on dvd. This revelation of fast cars and yummy chicken inspired our creative family night of making cars from chicken and then chillin’ and watching(…)

We’re such a technology based world now…it’s NOT even close to how it was 25+ years ago when I was in middle school. Pay phones aren’t at every corner, quarters aren’t jingling in your pockets,(…)

When I usually talk about miracles that I’ve witnessed…it’s within my own family. Whether it’s Isaac’s heart, Joe’s cancer, or some other event…I’ve seen miracles happen. They often relieve me, but never surprise me. I know that there’s power in prayer and faith. This weekend, my world was rocked! On Friday, we saw on the(…)
This is ONE of my kid’s schools. I have one of the MOST insane schedules this year…and ALL my kids are at school now! (go figure!) Therefore, it was imperative as I was getting THEM ready for back to school, that I took a little time for myself. I didn’t need any school supplies, but(…)
If you know me, you know that I LOVE Duck Dynasty. These guys remind me of my family and friends in North Carolina. With their laid back attitudes, thick accents, and family values…I was hooked with the first episode that I watched. The premise behind the show is the father, Phil, created a duck call(…)
