I want to live life to the fullest, and live it the way it was meant to be lived.
But life can be hard, and I strive to walk through life openly and honestly. I want to keep it REAL.
I don’t think we are meant to walk life alone, but in relationship. Firstly in a relationship with our Creator and then with each other. I love God first. Then I love others as I love myself. Really?… I try to!

During our ‘girl-friend’ conversation they shared their husbands’ comments about these types of events. One husband had joked: “Why go to a conference and wreck the […] Read More >
Toilet Paper and Technology
If your household is like ours you are encountering the sociological phenomenon: the ‘always- in-contact’ generation. Yesterday this hit an all new level for our family. I was making my morning latte when the telephone rang and my husband answered. I heard his-half of the conversation: “Hello” “What?? (snicker, snicker)” “Okay” and he hung up. […] Read More >
We Did It: Together
All six in our family formed a line with our arms around each other; with individual medals hanging around our necks we smiled broadly into the camera. Click. It was a family moment that we will never forget. Building the foundation for this memorable moment started years ago . . . When my youngest child […] Read More >
We’re Different
Of course I went to the Olympics! It was so close, and when will it be in our ‘back yard’ again? When a friend asked if we were planning to attend the Vancouver Olympic Games, I heard my husband respond: “I am staying as far away as possible from those crowds”. His comment got me […] Read More >
