There’s no danger of losing this one in the airport. Just look for the girl with the flower pin in her hair, jeans-tucked-in-boots, various colorful bags, bohemian layered clothing, taking photos of EVERYTHING. That, my friends….. is my mini me. Do you have one too?

Social media is peculiar. It’s changing the way we live our lives. At least it’s changing the way I live mine. It can be hard to keep in check. Hard to find balance. But one way I know for sure it’s a benefit is when people reach out to help each other. I don’t use [...]

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold.
