Fake Resting No More

Recently I was having coffee with a dear friend, when she mentioned she was reading the book, Present over Perfect by Shauna Niequist. Since she was not the first person to mention it to me, I asked her a little bit about it. Immediately she started talking about the idea of fake-resting.

Love Bugs: A Mini Valentine’s Day Craft

Valentine’s Day is getting close guys, and to tell you the truth, it is my absolute most favorite holiday!! (Like, more than Christmas!) I love all the heart shaped candies, the flowers, and all the red and pink colors, but my most favorite thing is watching my kids get home from school with all their Valentine’s Day snacks and treats!
