As I drove through my neighborhood this morning, I noticed the trees that line the streets. When did these trees get so big? I thought to myself. A large portion of my time is spent looking ahead — at the road while driving, at the soccer field where my youngest plays, or through the camera… Continue reading When Did The Trees Get So Big?

I Found Myself in Florida
For spring break this year, we went to Destin, Florida. Honestly, I don’t remember exactly how we landed on Destin. I do know our oldest didn’t want to go anywhere “lame,” which leaves a lot open to interpretation.

It is a company I am proud to say I am in… Continue reading This Lego Party Was Over Before it Began
