It was one week ago today. I was woken up at 2:30am by the sound of our fire alarm going off. But it didn’t go off like “hey wake up your house is on fire” all it did was chirp once like the battery was dying...it never went off again. I didn’t wake up because I though...

It’s the beginning of a new year…you know what that means?

New goals, new dreams, new ambitions! 

How many years have you started strong then March roles around and you lose your fire and release the new dreams, going back to the same old, same old and by December you f...

Over those eight months I became bitter and ang...

I had to buy a new car because I literally drove mine to death. I have 4 kids and I have had that car since I had two. My kids went through their toddler years in it, and needless to say, it smelled like feet and Chuck E. Cheese. I HATED that car but I had gotten so us...
