Linking up at Jen’s Blog today so that she has some reading material while she is under the weather. Moms really aren’t allowed to get sick, so I am always baffled when we do. Baffled. Hoping Christmas was lovely for you and if not perfect, hopefully you found some moments to hold tight to….like I

I’ve not linked up with the fashionably forward ladies at FLAP in a while, but to be fair, I haven’t been blogging a ton lately. Life is fully back into school and activities mode and there are only so many hours in the day. You KNOW this, I know. That’s the truth and I’m just

I had the blessing of attending a gratitude dinner with my Hubs this weekend for AA. It was an area-wide event and easily attended by 200+ people.
