How blessed I am that you came into this world 29 years ago ;) to sweep me off my feet, help me raise 7 beautiful children and bring sweat to the back of my knees.
I love you!
Happy Birthday!

A place to journal my journey. The kids, the journey to debt freedom, trying to live a healthy lifestyle, crafting, cooking, the house, this, that and everything else! Just my thoughts about my days in paradise.
This is how I do it.
