A Very Happy Father’s Day

As Father's Day approached this year, I wasn't really sure what to expect. My oldest son works so much, and when he isn't working, he's usually hanging out with his friends. My youngest son hasn't been here in a couple months, and when I have gone to pick him up, I end up coming home … Continue reading A Very Happy Father’s Day →

You Give Me Fever …

Been a crazy week here. Ella wasn't feeling all that great Monday night and then woke up Tuesday with a 104 temp.

Wednesday morning, the fever was still there, so we … Continue reading You Give Me Fever … →

A Morning Spring Walk

I've been struggling with a few things lately. I decided to listen to my own advice and take a step back and look around and appreciate the little things.

I STILL Believe in Miracles!

In the past few months, I have had many new followers to this blog. For the benefit of them, here is a brief introduction to where this blog is going. Prior to 2017, my life was a shambles.

A Brief Personal Observation

While the last couple months or so have been full of wonderful events and happy memories, there is something that is bothering me.
