Magic Eraser

Hi Mom, Happy New Year. I’ve been redoing my little room. Wanting to make it pretty with lights and pictures and artwork. Some made by your granddaughters actually.

I Think We Share the Love Language of Gift Giving

Hi Mom, There is this thing called the Five Love Languages. They are supposed to describe how we like to show love but also receive love. And it’s interesting to think about how sometimes the way we like to show love is not always the same as the way we like to receive it, andContinue reading “I Think We Share the Love Language of Gift Giving”
