Auction Night

Part of a new school is new adult responsibilities - including the auction for the school. We're so grateful we had some friends to go with - and a chance to get out on a date night. I really do like this guy.

Church

 Hubs isn't feeling well, the kids are so tired, I've slept more propped up than flat the last two nights. We're tuckered out - the snow is swirling like crazy - and the germs from the flu are rampant.

So we opted for church - live streamed. At home, in our bed. With a box of tissues and some hand sanitizer. And when the kiddos wanted to watch church, too - and they talked on giving and being generous - we considered this day to be a win.

Bathroom Reno

It's done! He did it - and he's amazing. To the sub floor and to the studs - he ripped it out and put it all back together. The man is a beast...and I'm on to find him another project!

Raise Them

In a world of #MeToo where sexual harassment is rampant. In a world where assault is daily news.

How do you stop it? How do you push back the ocean?

You teach a generation differently, that’s how. You start with respect and dignity. You continue with kindness and empathy. 

And sometimes you start with dancing. 

Teaching

So if I want a clean house AND want to hold down four part-time jobs, it’s time for the little doodles to pitch in more. Starting with the floors.

Every night little dudes. 

Because you live here. 

Bobcat

This little man earned his Bobcat badge tonight. I have a feeling he is a little bit proud. I am too!! Way to go!!

JBF Conference in San Diego

Hard to believe it’s time for another JBF national conference. So thrilled I keep getting asked to come back.
