    Word of the Year

    Word of the Year; I found this concept a few years ago and I fell in love with it. It wasn’t up until last year that I actually chose a word of the year. I thought this is a great way to make this word your anchor- a guiding force for your year.  For last year’s word, I…

    Friday Favorites: Feel Good Stories

    Hello! Happy Friday!  Its the first full week back from the holidays. This week flew by (I am not surprised). At work, I started this week with lots of bookkeeping and checking with the banks I deal with to make sure the money transfer went through. They all did and I am ready to do…

    Family Photos

    Back in November, we had a local photographer take our Christmas Card photos.

  • New Years Eve

    New Years Eve

     Another year coming to a close, another year starting. As we leave 2020 behind, I like to think we have all grown in different ways this year. We have seen the good and the bad of humans; we have experienced the lowest lows and the highest highs as a society. We have gotten through it…
