I love crafts. Michael’s and Hobby Lobby are my homes away from home. I love to create. What I can’t stand? Complete and utter chaos and disorganization.

How To: Fly With a Dog in the Cabin of an Airplane
When I started to research getting a dog, I spent a lot of time looking up just about everything: different breeds, their temperaments, their sizes, their coats, their lifespans…and on and on and on!

Update on my Clear Skin Journey
I’ve talked skin before. First here, briefly, and then at length here (read this post for some background on my skin issues).

Dear Charley,
You don’t know. You don’t know how I prayed earnestly for you for seven months before I got you. That I prayed specifically for a birthday puppy and got you the day before I turned another year older–a true answered prayer.

The Great Apartment Saga of 2014
I moved this weekend…from one building to another within my same apartment complex.

What I Need You To Know About Me
Yesterday I attended an all-day leadership conference at the church where I work. Dread is a strong word, but I was certainly not looking forward to giving up my entire Saturday (and then, of course, Sunday) to be on my job site. I will say that I am so thankful for the day and all it brought, [Continue Reading…]
