One main reason that Jamie and I have continued to go back week after week to the same church here in Sierra Vista is the nursery volunteers in Hadley’s infant room. They have been a huge blessing to us! We’d only left Hadley in the nursery once before we moved out here, so needless to say we were a little nervous… Keep Reading

No lie – I completely lost it and had to go ahead and hang up with Jenn. I really… Keep Reading
Beauty Product Recommendations by a Few of my Favorite Women
Today I’m linking up with Make Me Up Mia!I’ve always been a self-labeled “product junkie”. I couldn’t keep my hands out of my mom’s makeup and product drawers when I was growing up because I was fascinated with experimenting with all kinds of beauty brands. I’m always interested in what products my friends are loyal to, so recently I reached out to a few of… Keep Reading
