Santa paid a visit to our house on Christmas Eve. Even after all the fighting and squabbling these kids did this year, Santa must have thought they were pretty good because he left some nice stuff under the tree. Forget all that delayed gratification mumbo-jumbo I tried to tell him about… 😉 Santa leaves the…
En route to Washington D.C. Lucy and I went to St. George for the first official Power of Moms Motherhood Retreat. Lucy was so darn good on the airplane I wanted to cry.

Ok, on to what I’ve been trying to get a second to write about forever: My biggest epiphany from Women’s Conference.
