I’m taking a break from Manic Mondays for awhile while I reevaluate in what direction I want to go. In the meantime, I’m very excited about a new endeavor I’m going to embark upon with my girls this advent season. I have never really done any kind of Advent activities with my kids (I tried last year, but it fizzled). …

Thankful Heart
I’ve been thinking for awhile now about gratitude, thankfulness, and of course, Thanksgiving. My mind kept circling around to the phrase, “Thankful Heart”.

Happy Birthday to You
The chill of night still hangs in the air as I bury myself in the blissful warmth of the bedding and nestle my head further into the pillows. Willing my eyes to open; failing miserably.
