I dyed my hair. I resisted doing it myself for years, but my mom convinced me to give it a try, and I’m so glad she did. It saves so much time and money! Over lunch together the girls were talking about how they would like to dye their hair. They have all kinds of… [continue reading]

Fun things to do in Dallas/Fort Worth with Kids
There is so much family fun to be had in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We lived right in the middle of the metroplex for over twelve years and loved raising our kids where there was so much to do. One year ago we moved away to be closer to family. It’s a great move for… [continue reading]

Back in the Hospital
After what seemed like a freak hospital stay with my eight-year old son, I thought we’d come through the toughest part of our journey. I was wrong. We were living in limbo from day to day all seven of us crashing in my parents house. My husband was frantically trying to figure out a new… [continue reading]
An unexpected hospital stay
One day early this year I noticed a tiny white dot on my eight year old son’s face as I gave him Tylenol for a fever. His face caught my attention, but I didn’t think all that much about it. The next day the dot was a little bigger. It looked like an ant bite…. [continue reading]
