The other day I shared about my upcoming trip to West Pokot, Kenya. (Actually – we’re not sure if we’ll be in East or West Pokot, but we think it’s West this year. Flexibility is key here!)
I also mentioned that it is less than 40 days away. 37 or 36 days as of today, depending [...]

New Routine
I think my internal clock is out of whack. Lately I’ve been waking up at 4:30 am.
Let me just repeat that: 4:30 am.
Ugh. My alarm doesn’t go off until 6:30, and I usually don’t get up until 7-14 minutes after that. That means that I am losing over 2 perfectly [...]

Heart broken
Have you ever had your heart broken for good? That’s how I felt after returning from the West Pokot area of Kenya last October.
A team of amazing people from Harvesters International in Hilton Head, Callahan Baptist in FL, and my church, Kensington Community Church, in MI spent just over two weeks there last fall. [...]

Kira decided that she wanted to do my hair – she had some great ideas on how [...]

School Shopping
My mom & I took my niece school shopping last night. It was our last girls night before my parents drove Kira back down to my sister in NC. I really am going to miss the punk.
We pretty much just hit up The Children’s Place for our mix & match looks. Is it [...]

Piece #12
12.) I LOVE office supplies.
No seriously – I do. And this is not just some “I love Lamp” statement.
I may have mentioned my LOVE of all things office-supply related before. I love new notebooks, pens, pencils, staples, post-it flags…. you name it.
Hence – The grocery stores, convenience stores, superstores – are virtually filled [...]

The DSW’s
I may have mentioned them before – but I wanted to make a formal introduction of a group of women that hold my heart.
This is my Thursday night – which I rigorously defend in my calendar.
This is my support network, my full-belly laughter, my work out crew, my spiritual walk.
These are women who challenge me [...]

So today I’m just posting a quick one word meme from my friend Katie before I get ready to go to another wedding. (Maybe I’ll [...]
