Do you ever wish you were something other than what you are? This week I wished I was a basketball player. Don’t laugh. There are a million ways we wish we were different…wonder what our lives would look and feel like…if only. Take some time this weekend to consider who you ARE…where you ARE….and
A Favorite Things Party: A gathering of friends who all bring a set number of their favorite things that cost a set price. Said friends enjoy food and fellowship and then swap their goodies. Everyone goes home with new items. I had pinned this idea on Pinterest many moons ago. It was one of
