Another day

We are officially in the middle of our first week back to school. And, honestly? It hasn't been too painful. Even the earlier mornings and packing the lunches doesn't bother me, although I'm going to need to come back here in mid-October and read that sentence back to myself so I can remember my kinder, gentler, most glass half full self when I'm rolling out of bed with the attitude of a troll Read More

1. Fearless Faith/Everyday Holy Playlist So I made us a playlist on Spotify to celebrate the one week birthday of Fearless Faith.

We spent our weekend in College Station at a soccer tournament. It wasn't quite a royal wedding and there was nary a Read More

Listen. I don't know where the time goes. I just know that I look up and another week has gone by and a new one is starting, I feel like Caroline when she was a toddler and threw huge fits and then would look up at us after she calmed down and say, "Happen?
