We love spending time at our favorite lake in the summer. I love watching the water in all its moods – but when it’s calm and still like glass, nothing beats taking the canoe and spending some peaceful moments paddling along the shore. My son even...

In this world there are two types of people: the planners and the poppers. Some people thrive on having every second of an event (or a day) scheduled and accounted for. They love checking things off of lists, and a perfect day is one in which every item on that list...

Yesterday I ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while. We chatted and she asked me how things were going with my kids. I told her that things were great. My kids were healthy and busy and fabulous. However, instead of ending on that note, for some reason I...
