• Five Minute Friday- What Mama Did
  on Feb 24, 2013 in Inspiration Five Minute Friday

• Little Giver
  on Jan 22, 2013 in Children giving
  Like any other work day, it started out 15 minutes behind schedule. This no doubt leaves me little more than 45 minutes to get myself and my second grader ready for the day. Let alone the dreaded task of feeding and walking my nincompoop of a canine.
