New Year’s Goals
Wear a piece of jewelry every day other than my rings. Kiss my husband like I mean it each day. Start up Chadwick Family meetings. Of course, a fitness goal in my highly unavailable ease to get to the gym life: yoga with my hubby at home three nights a week. So sad for this…

favorite day of the year
My most favorite day of the year has always been Christmas Eve. When I was younger and still under my parent’s roof, each year we ventured down to my Pepaw’s house to celebrate Christmas. For some reason, this tradition was more special to me than Christmas morning (as much fun as that was!) I loved…

35 1/2 weeks

First Day of Preschool…again
We had a funny morning. Quite different than last years attempt at preschool. Copeland awoke with the excitement similar to Christmas morning. She quickly ate her breakfast then told me, “Mom, I’m gonna go get dressed, ok?” She picked out a pretty cute First Day of School outfit. I was impressed! And was ready to…

Even the sparrow…
“Even the sparrow has found a home;And a swallow a nest for herself.Where she may lay her young-Even our altars O Lord of hosts, My King and My God.Blessed are those who dwell in your house;They will still be praising You.” (psalm 84:3-4) Labor Day weekend.
