Do The Thing First
I'm not into working out. Well, okay, at least not in the traditional way. Elementary gym class as a kid with #erbspalsy made "exercise" a pretty traumatic thing that has taken way to long to just get over. So what I am into is gentle movements on my vibration plate, walking, and worshipping ...

What would you tell your child as they prepare for adulthood? Our oldest daughter is now a full-blown adult and has graduated from our homeschool. Moms of littles, I often tell you to rest and take it slow. Well, today I'm tellin' ya, don't blink! Soak it all in. I had thought by this ...
