I am crazy sensitive. Always have been. I was the kid that cried when other kids got made of fun of in school because I felt bad for them. For some reason, God gave me this wonderful curse of sensitivity. Which is incredibly odd because when it comes to my own personal matters, I can […]
Remembering Christmas
Dear self, Think back… What do you remember most about Christmas growing up? I remember listening to my favorite Christmas cassette tape with little elves on the cover. The “pa rum pump pum pum” in “The Little Drummer Boy” always made me giggle, as I sang “bum bum bum bum,” instead. I remember helping my […]
Cheap Chinese Meets Fate
It was my junior year of college and I worked at our college newspaper selling ads. Despite a job, I always seemed to be short on cash after buying groceries and paying my rent, so going out to eat was rarely an option. When I did go out to eat, it was generally a Taco […]

Date Night Idea: A Grand Rapids Getaway
About a month ago my hubby surprised me with a fabulous idea…to plan a night out to celebrate our 3rd anniversary…finally (our anni is in June). After we lined up grandma to babysit for the eve, I was off to planning. I knew he might want to go somewhere scenic, but I really just wanted to […]
My Spiritual Journey
I’m an outspoken person; therefore I am not one to shy away from topics like politics and religion. In fact, both are topics I love discussing, even if friends/family have opposing views because I always walk away with a new piece of knowledge. So, I decided I would tackle religion today… I am a fairly […]
