I kidnapped Dave, kind of, for my birthday this year and took him to Charleston, SC for the weekend, no kids!  It was really great!  We stayed at a home that Tracy and Jeff Himes have there.  She works in Charleston all week and comes home to Charlotte on the weekends, so when she came [...]

Last week we were blessed with an opportunity to go to the beach.  So I did the appropriate amount of laundry, packed up the kids and we headed East to Topsail Island.  It is a gorgeous beach and was a much needed reconnecting time for our family.

In my last post I was complaining about all the plates I have to keep spinning.  Often times I do it by myself because Dave is busy doing a church planting thing that has to be done and I am holding down the fort at home.

I have to give some great kudos to my man, Dave Milam, for helping me get set up with this blog.  Way to go honey!  Thanks for explaining and guiding me as I wander through the terrain of blogworld haphazardly.  I appreciate all the effort that went into helping me “pimp” my site and create [...]
