I have a new friend who is sassy. She’s also brilliant, sensitive, wise, and discerning, humble and modest, and a fantastic listener.

I tell you what…if finding out I was pregnant after a trip to Spain was a way to learn things such as, the sky is the limit, throw caution to the wind, live life to the fullest, OR, say, the opposite, like, be careful, look both ways when crossing the street, always bring an umbrella, […]
...and Freedom is Beautiful. When I recommend articles on Facebook or Twitter or here on my blog, due to the nature of life and the Internet, I don’t always know the author personally, may not know their tone of voice in writing or if I’d even invite them to dinner…but a nugget here or truth […]

THAT is a title I never thought I’d scribe. I don’t care for the cold. But I fell in love with a guy from the sub-zero plains of South Dakota, and though he had no desire to return there after college, it seems 21+ years into our marriage, we are here, with the kids, and […]
Our realtor asked me to write a list stating 10 things I love about our house, neighborhood, and community in order to share with potential buyers. I thought I’d share it here because for me it’s so much more than a way to sell our house. Even though my heart is longing and ready for […]
