Happy Memorial Day!

 I am so thankful for the service men and women who have given their lives to make our country free...I give thanks for them every day. I  also want to thank the active military for protecting us right now and for their families that send them off and hold down the fort at home.  God bless them today and every day!

Happy Mother's Day!


Good Morning!

As I am sure you are all well aware that today is Mother's Day, I wanted to get a little personal here today and talk about my mom. I feel so very lucky to have my mom. There really isn’t any bond quite like it, right? She’s there for me unconditionally and I’m appreciating that more and more lately.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, my grandmother, and all of the moms out there. I have a few friends who have lost their moms over the last few years and as always, I will be thinking of them.

How will you be celebrating your mom today?
