Unwanted or Unexpected? Either way, it might be just what you needed.
When I about 6 years old, I got a coat for Christmas from my Grammy. Now normally, my Grammy killed it in the gift department but that year, not so much. My momma told her I needed a coat and you would think that, knowing my aspirations to be Miss America, Grammy would have picked […]
Chocolate Caramel Chews

What to wear?
The Lord uses my kids to teach me so much. My youngest son and I had an argument Sunday morning getting ready to go to church. He is ten and he is “all boy” as they say. He loves to run and slide on his knees. You can see the evidence on the knees of […]
