Helping Women Rediscover their Dreams & Live with Purpose

Hello, 2012!

Every year, our family chooses a theme for the year. Last year was Freedom. This year, our theme is Focus! Maybe, like me, you’ve been feeling scattered. Maybe you feel like you have big dreams, but aren’t getting anything accomplished. Or maybe you’re just feeling worn out from trying so hard!

Countdown to Christmas continues!

Advent Days 8 & 9

DAY 8:  Make a Christmas Ornament On day 8, the kids painted a ceramic Christmas ornament. It was fun to see how they all decorated theirs differently.  Megan painted a peace sign on her snowflake, Tristan made his bell look exactly like the one on the picture, except he painted a crack in it like …
