I can not believe that 2010 is almost over. Where on EARTH has this year gone?! I never really anticipated that it would go by as quickly as it has, especially considering that my husband was gone for 75% of the year. Yet, here it is, December 29 and we are down to just a […]

Watching this little blue eyed boy fall in love with life… Telling my husband that I love him at least 8 or 9 times before we ever say goodnight… Opening the door to Little Man’s bedroom in the mornings to find him standing up in bed with a grin on his face… Hearing one simple […]

Television, internet, "Smart Phones" and Social Networking have overwhelmed our culture and taken the mainstream society by storm. And it’s not looking like it’s going anywhere. With the seemingly never-ending array of technological advances, it […]

I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas! I’ll be back on Monday! Enjoy your holidays!
