Multiple Kids and the Toothbrush Dilemma

What Are You Looking For in Your Everyday Life?
A few years ago, I took this super sweet picture of my oldest 3 children looking into the fireplace at the warm glow of our first fire of that season. It was a perfect memory of their amazement of the fire and the peace that that moment brought. It’s a picture of calm and goodRead More
