joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
I’ve found myself in a little groove lately. Not necessarily one I want to be in, but one that’s easy to settle into, especially when things get a little crazy and I need to “get the job done.” It started before Zack went to New York for nine days (again), and then of course became… [Read More]
