Oh.My.Yes….. I’m having a “Grace Day“. It seems like we’ve been stringing them end to end here lately. Waiting. Watching. Hoping. Praying. We’ve loved our time here in this home, but the walls seem to be closing in and my children’s energy BEGS for a backyard, and my hands ache for dirt to plant a [...]

That’s not the only thing that’s scattered my thoughts, my emotions, juggling, so precariously, all of their individual needs and mine….where do those come in?
