Years ago someone gave me a book. It was called “The Precious Present.” And although I will admit that it was a tinge on the cheesy side, the story enclosed within it’s cover has held a piece of my heart ever since. It was about a man who was told all his life (by someone…
By the time this posts I will be far away soaking up my family for Fall Break. But I figured since I have a bunch of post drafts just waiting idly to be posted I’d schedule them in while we’re gone. (And I’ll be checking in to announce the winner of the give-away tomorrow morning…don’t…
I took a little “business trip” last weekend. First of all, have I ever mentioned how thankful I am for opportunities like this? Yes, I think I have…over and over. I felt so humbled and grateful to get to speak at the Spokane Time Out for Women last Saturday. And to do it with my…

Each year as the school year winds down I make the same goal: “I’m going to let my kids be kids for the summer. Let them imagine and have down-time. We’re going to hang out just the six of us and go to the library and have our own kind of field trips. I’m not…
Ok, so here’s the deal. There’s this store here that is awesome. It’s called Domestic Bliss. And that’s what it is…pure domestic bliss. There are some gorgeous things there.
