I love to travel. Growing up as a missionary kid and traveling outside of the United States gave me a deeper appreciation for experiencing the world around me. I’ve had amazing travel adventures as simple as exploring the Chicago suburbs by car and as awe-inspiring as hiking in the Himalayas. Even my [...]
I bet these techniques would work for moms too.
We are always in the middle of projects around here. Adam is busy with his job. He likes to whine about his long commute - all the way up the stairs. From my perspective it is nice to have Adam working at home now. Adam’s co-workers are on California time so [...]
