Integrity is the adherence to moral and ethical principles; the soundness of moral character and honesty. It’s a trait that is highly regarded in my household. I’m sure that stems from my husband’s military service. It’s definitely a trait that my husband and I expect our children to possess. Today I was faced with a situation… Read More

So once again I disappeared from blog land for weeks. I made a quick trip to Missouri to visit family and that meant blogging took a back seat. Let’s face it, I’m a terrible blogger. One of these days I will get my act together. Hopefully some of you will still be here when I… Read More
