So….I finally did it. (Nike would be so proud of me.) I finally came up with a solution to something that had been bugging me for longer than I care to remember…and I got it done. It wasn’t life-shattering or destiny-altering by any means. In fact,...

Being a wife and mom was all that Holly Wampler had wanted to do. It was her dream, just like it was for many of us 40- somethings. The easy bake ovens and cabbage patch kids were preparing us for something greater, and we knew it. Holly met Chad Wampler at MSSU at...

It’s February! It’s the month for celebrating all types of love: the hearts-and-flowers-and-candy kind, the kiddos’ cupcakes- and-class parties-and-Valentine-boxes kind, the treat-your-friends-to-coffee kind, and the forgive your husband if he...
