Here are 3 more questions you asked...and my answers. Dorothy asks: What is your favorite flavor of cake? In general, I'm not much of a fan of cake. I'm the girl who will politely decline wedding cake...not because I'm on a diet...but because I don't like it. Especially cakes with heavy layers of frosting. Ick! […]
Here are 4 questions you asked...and my answers. Jo-Lynne asks: How do you juggle everything that you do and still stay sane? Who said anything about sanity? (Just Kidding). I think my answer would have to be my husband Tim. He is my best friend - my friend above all other friends. I tell him […]
As it turns out, I'm a little more introverted than I thought. You see, we went to a wedding last night at this incredible guest ranch [see photo below] and then we went to a marriage conference this morning...and now I'm plum wore out. It's a funny thing.

It's funny […]
I meant to write more posts in this series. Yes, I want my kids to be happy, entrepreneurial, healthy, well-traveled, and loving. But...I'd also like them to be...intelligent, excited about learning, good with people, strong communicators, etc, etc. I think it goes without saying that I can't fully dive into such a mammoth topic in […]
Recently, I wrote down a list of qualities that I would like to nurture in my children. I wrote them down because I want them to be right where I can see them. It's so easy to just let the days pass me by - to think, "Oh, I'll work on that tomorrow" or "Next […]
