I’m so excited and extremely hopeful, I think I’m going to burst! My 6th grade girls basketball team is readying themselves for their Big Dance this weekend in Wausau, WI – the Wisconsin State Invitational Tournament. We are putting final touches on our offensive plays, making their motion offense seamless, their defense unstoppable, and packing […]
Let us fall more in love with Him! February the month of love right? Or wrong? For most, Valentine’s Day is either a romantic candy coated love fest, or as my good friend likes to call it, “SAD: short for Singles Awareness Day!” No matter where you fit in this year, happily married, engaged, dating, divorced, […]
I love me when I’m ugly, I love me when I’m sad. I love me when the sun goes down and I’m very, very mad. When people break me down, and say I’m not enough. Even when I save too much, and fall amongst my stuff. When lights are low and the sun is high. […]

I am a dreamer and visionary. I love making plans. I love schedules. Organizing makes my heart beat faster, in a good way. Let me rephrase that. I should say – I love reading, organizing catalogs, being in organized environments and shopping at IKEA. While I have a great schedule plan and cool calendar app […]

God and Politics. My two favorite topics – that I’m never afraid to bring up in public when I meet someone new. These are great ice-breakers! Don’t you think? I get so excited every time God or politics comes up in conversation. I’m like one of those wide eyed children in a candy store every time I open my […]
