Every year I like to share some of my best find with you, my readers. This year is no different, and I’ve experienced some cool items that might fit the bill for some of the precious folks on your list :) So without further ado, let’s get right to it! Peepers These are my favorite (Oprah's,too) go-to reading glasses! I discovered them for myself earlier this ... Continue Reading...

3 Lessons I Learned From My Trip to Disney With My Teenager
Recently, our youngest daughter and I took a mom/daughter trip to Walt Disney World...woo hoo! I really felt this was some thing that the Lord put on my heart to do especially for her. You see, we have had some good but very major transitions take place in our house. Our eldest daughter graduated high school and entered the university as a freshman, and our son transferred to the same university from our local community college as a junior. Because our college freshman lives on campus, this has impacted her little sister greatly. No longer can she just pop in her ... Continue Reading...

Run with Disney…at home!
Okay, so I am thinking about doing something fun. I have wanted to run a Disney race ever since we started visiting WDW as a family in 2002. At that time, the only race weekend was the classic Marathon at the first part of January. Since then, Disney has added a plethora of fun races, for all distances and themes. I know that it is hard work to train for a race, but everyone looks and sounds like it is definitely an experience to be had! Well, I will let the cat out of the bag: my desire is to plan and train for a 2017 race, in person, at Walt Disney World. ... Continue Reading...
