Memorial Box Monday: SOLD!

We {often} set aside Mondays to remember…. remembering the faithfulness of God.  Much like the Israelites were told by God to gather stones and set them in a pile to constantly be reminded of how God had moved on their behalf.  They were to tell their children, their children’s children and so on.

Our Saturday Morning…

Liberty’s basketball season is over so we decided to hit up some yard sales as a family. Coffee in hand we headed out. One stop:  donuts {a rare treat – but we were celebratin’ and we couldn’t help ourselves} Emmy, Savannah & Liberty {in the background} were actin’ rather rowdy.  This mama loves makin’ these…
