Lessons learned...

As we approach the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and while we have much needed time off to enjoy our families, let us make sure we’re using this time as teaching moments for our children. We ARE our children’s first teachers and everything they see us do, you can best believe… they mimic. This time of year brings on what I like to call the “holiday hoopla” syndrome. You know, we start seeing the commercials, the decorations, all the hype and we start to panic. We start to wonder how

Where is your heart?

Good Morning ladies! I’m excited to announce that today I have a guest blogger! Her name is Chris Carter and she’s visiting us by way of Columbus, Ohio. Before getting married and having children, Chris worked as a music therapist for several years in Chicago’s inpatient psychiatric hospitals. She also managed creative arts and recreation programming for four group homes, which was an amazing experience.  In that time of her life, she learned and grew to know the pain and suffering of so many people.

I’m sure if any of you have ever lost someone you loved, you can relate. Love you all and have a blessed week!
