Everything is packed and ready to go for my Released Time Retreat tonight. As of three o’clock today, I’ll be spending the next 28 hours basking in the glory of God with about 50 fourth and fifth grade students. The retreat will be at a local camp. There will be S’mores, speakers, small group sessions, […]
Since yesterday served as productive but a bit less than exciting, — Completed a bunch of necessary chores, continued getting things in order for the retreat this weekend, treated TF and I to a Sheetz mocha frappe (hers was decaf!) thanks to our BOGO free coupon, regrouped at a parenting class I’ve been attending at […]

Hopefully I’ll get through this entire blog post without having to cut it short for a trip to the ER as my four year old is “skating” around the hard floor using her brothers toy dump trucks as roller skates. Having said that- This week is going rather well, considering TM is out of town… […]
I’ve never been much of a goal setter thanks to my fear of failure. If my only goal was to do my best, then no matter how well I do (or don’t do), I could pass it off as having acheived my goal. Even if I didn’t follow through, I wouldn’t necessarily fail because I […]
The taste of freedom set in as we neared the first stop on our Anniversary Getaway itinerary; Venus Salon and Spa in Bloomsburg PA. We began the trip with two side by side, one hour Swedish massages. Although we couldn’t really see each other (well… TM says his eyes were open the whole time and […]
