The Addiction...
Addiction takes so many things from so many people. It takes loved ones from families. It takes a normal life from the addict. It causes an addict to do things they normally wouldn't do and say things they normally wouldn't say. As the addict, these may be things you do not remember, but as a loved one, it's things we never forget. Your words and actions sting us to the core. They haunt us when we lay down at night, while we continue to pray for you. Even though we know your words are meant to manipulate, they stick to our hearts like mortared bricks. Addiction doesn't just change you, it changes us. It's a shadow that we...
Have you read the book "Becoming" by Michelle Obama? Whew, she is a powerhouse! She is poised, well spoken, driven, determined, kind, confident, and a beautiful wife and mother. I read the book shocked that I never knew much about her or the life of a First Lady. It is HARD! She put her law career and aspirations on hold to support her husband.

She learned a lot of lessons, was unfortunately at the brunt end of a lot of terrible jokes, and she handled it all in the public eye with A LOT of grace.
I was thrilled to see that Netflix...
In our house, we love music. Now, I'm not necessarily musically inclined, but my husband enjoys playing guitar and we've always shared music with each other. We have the same taste, and it's always something we've bonded over.

Now that my husband lives far away from his family, it's a gentle way to recall so many memories he has built throughout the years with his family. We can listen to songs that take us back to our individual...

Family Game Night :: 13 Must Own Board Games
Who doesn't love a family game night? It can be hard finding quality games these days. We're a game loving family, insanely so. I grew up playing games with my siblings, and thankfully my husband is an even bigger game fiend than I. He's actually in a few board game groups on Facebook (and let me warn you, those folks are cray!), but thanks to some of those groups we've discovered some really fun games that ALL of us can enjoy! I'll give you the run down...
Recently, a celebrity couple announced their split on social media. The short non-explanation announced they were splitting after 10 years as they had grown apart. I made the mistake of reading some of the thousands of comments keyboard warriors had left.
Part of me wasn’t surprised to see these comments, while another part of me was absolutely appalled.
It's Her Fault.
Some blamed the wife for being too ambitious in her career and him stepping up to run the household and be the primary caregiver for the kids – “it was over when he retired and let her wear the pants.” It is 2020 people. Gender-specific roles in the home is so 1950. Men are more than capable of handling the household...
