This week, my husband and I are celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary. It seems like just yesterday we were graduating from college, getting our first jobs, and getting engaged. I thought I knew what love was 22 years ago back when I was getting married – after all, I was standing up before family, friends… Continue reading Everyday Love

The Good and Bad of Backyard Chickens

For us, the good outweighs the bad and we love keeping chickens on our urban homestead otherwise known as our small backyard in the city, but it's a good idea to know what you're in for.

Love of Valentine’s Day
I love Valentine’s Day. Yes, it’s gotten too commercial but what holiday hasn’t? Valentine’s Day is special because it makes me stop and take a day to say, “Hey, I’m not taking you for granted.” Or, "How about we have a lunchtime date today?" It also gives me an excuse to wrangle an extra hug… Continue reading Love of Valentine’s Day

Whether you know only the… Continue reading Abraham Lincoln Love
