Messages of Hope
If It’s Good, Share It I am of the opinion that if you find something good, it is worth sharing with others! In the year 2021 many of us suffered quite a bit of hardship. I know people that lost loved ones, suffered illness, struggled with unemployment, went through a faith crisis, etc. In our […]
My Overly Huge Stainless Steel Island
I was scrolling through pictures of our holiday season, and realized how grateful I am for the island in my kitchen! I always wanted a huge island with a counter that I could do all the things on. I wanted to set hot stuff on it, knead dough on it, cut on it, sit on […]
