From the time I was young I was dedicated to the idea that if I was going to do something in my life I was going to do it 100%. I never wanted to be the girl who did things halfway. I just felt that if I was going to put my name on something […]
Tonight we attended a dinner and a charity auction in which they were auctioning off a trip to Hawaii. As we sat and talked with our friends at the table I was reminded of the last time my family took a trip to Hawaii together and the series of crazy mishaps we went through – […]
I was able to hear an amazing talk the other day that every person in this world would benefit from reading. The talk was fairly long, so I have copied and pasted some of the sections of the talk below to share it with you. It’s not the entire talk below, but I pulled out […]
This weekend I thought a lot about precious moments in our lives. Isn’t it interesting that we so often don’t relish the moments in life until they have passed? Things like snuggling with our kids, or playing a game with our family, or a kiss with our sweetheart, or laughing on the phone with a […]

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” – Henry David Thoreau… When my children were young we used to play a game called Sky Castles. We would go outside in our backyard and lay down on […]
