Hello friends! As many of you have noticed, I took a very long unplanned break from the blog for a while. (By the way – thank you for noticing! I love knowing that people actually look forward to my posts.) If you follow me on social media, you’ve likely already heard the big news: Maj …
I must have been out of my mind when I thought we would have plenty of free time this off-season… Boy, was I wrong! Our lives have been off the rails for a few months, but now it is finally time to get back to our “normal.” As many of you know, Maj and I …
A couple of years ago, while vacationing with a friend, she and I decided to take the love languages test. If you are not familiar with the love languages profile, it was developed by Gary Chapman as a way to discover your “emotional communication preference.” The five “languages” are gift giving, quality time, words of …
Happy New Year, friends! Usually, not much changes at the start of the new year, making resolutions hard to keep. In years past, as soon as all of the celebrations died down I would be right back to work or school, my routine unchanged. While I am once again preparing to go back to school, …
