Empty Your Trunk First!
In the Fall of 2019, I learned an important lesson. Before you take a load to donate, remove EVERYTHING else out of your trunk that isn’t meant to be donated. It was our anniversary in November of 2019. I had been in charge of an activity the night before at church creating Meal Bags for […]
Color-Coded Lunches & Taco Drippings
Admittedly, I’ve been feeling a little down this week. Three of my friends have lost a parent in the last week, my teen girls are going through the ups and downs of middle school and high school, and my baby boy turns 8 this weekend and he’s so sad his friends can’t come to his […]

There will be hard days during the next 91 days, but you can do hard things. Keep reminding yourself about what […]
2021: The Year of Growth
Earlier today I created a custom planner for one of my teen girls. It was a time and labor-intensive task, but she’s been asking for a while. She didn’t need one for adulting like I offer in my shop, she needed one for “teen-ing.” As I worked on it, I paused as I typed in […]
