A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
Dear Anna,

I stayed at my aunt’s house the weekend of my brother’s wedding. It’s a very pleasant place to be. It’s warm, comfortable and inviting. I’ve always enjoyed her house. I have fond memories from childhood in the same rooms I put my boys to sleep that…

I would venture to guess that 6 out of 10 rude comments from strangers and distant acq…
There was a silence that left my stomach in a bit of a knot after hearing those words come out of my four year old yesterday.
I recognize and appeal to you his very “four-year-old-ness” and exempt him from a life destined for sin and shame. I know…
I tiptoed out into the dark kitchen a little before 6:00 this morning and got some coffee started. There was one brownie left on the plate and I never want to see the boys fighting over something like that (that’s why all mom’s eat dessert right?) so I…
