In spite of those long hours I still have special memories of time spent with him. One of my favorite ones from my childhood was of my Dad and… Read More
This past September my DIY hubby graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Science in Religion. It was a very long and winding road to get to this point in his life at the age of 52, but I couldn’t be prouder. All the details and fun graduation party ideas for graduates of all ages can be found here…. Read More
I don’t know about you, but in our house the Christmas holiday probably gets the lions share of baking for the year.
