Life Lately…Sleds, Valentine’s Day, and Game Moms
Did everyone make it through Cupid's Day? If you were like me, then yesterday at 4:35, you were out doing some last minute shopping. Hey, no judging please.

Weekend Recap: Movies, basketball, and “God moments”
The Christmas spirit is ramping up at our house. No. I haven't started decorating. Yet. But we are definitely getting our spirit of Christmas fired up.
