Menu Monday – Still Waiting for Variety
My life is still so fast paced that I haven't been adventurous with food. I haven't even taken pictures of what I am eating. I will do better this coming week.

Family Comes First
Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
I have been struggling about what to write for Family Friday this week because I didn’t get any pictures and our week has been ordinary and usual. Then it dawned on me, EVERY DAY is a family day! Family comes first… even on busy weeks our activities reflect that family comes first.
The importance of family can not be overstated. Family is the gift that God gives us at birth. Families are the first nurturers, educators, protectors, and caregivers. Somethings never change. Most of my children are grown and moving on, some even starting families of their own. I still nurture. I still educate. I still protect. I still care. I still comfort.
