All the while trying to vacuum up Goldfish my toddler threw across the table. Something like that. Not a terrible day in the Grand Scope of Eternity. Just a ... Read More about A Dance Party Day
Thoughts on my Valentine
I have been married for four years to my own valentine, my husband Michael. As I reflect on my marriage this Valentine's Day, I am in awe at the depth and number of ways I have grown--and at how much more I have to learn about love and marriage. Marriage has been the making of me. ... Read More about Thoughts on my Valentine
