Happy New Year, friends! I hope you are as excited about a fresh new 2018 as I am!  I’ve never been a huge New Years person, honestly. I don’t put much stock in resolutions; we all know they are just meant to be broken. They…

When I was in fourth grade George Michael was everything. And I mean everythang… It was the year that his epic album “Faith” came out in cassette form (look them up, kiddos, they were a thing). To a fourth grade girl, with budding curiosity about…

Last weekend Connor had the opportunity to go to a very special camp. The fact that he gets to go to this camp every year is nothing short of a blessing. And not just because it’s completely free, which is mind-blowing and amazing, but nowhere…
