Of Patience and Pears!

So we’re in a ‘temporary’ housing situation that at times has been trying, but we have survived. I don’t always feel like I’ve actually conquered it, but at least with God’s hand, I’ve been standing my ground, or at least, a year later, I’m still here!

Just A String

It still amazes me what you can do starting with just a string!

I started my own collection and . . . → Read More: Just A String

PreNup Challenge

Just watched a really cool show called Prenup Challenge.

It's amazing in that the couples are put on an island and have to actually learn how to communicate and work together. 

They learn that to truly win takes more skills of cooperation than over-exaggerations of competition.

Wow, a survival game that . . . → Read More: PreNup Challenge
