Dear Friends, I took the last 4 days to staycation and get some much needed rest. You never realize how tired you are until you really allow yourself to stop. I had a great 4 days of cousin camp and am so thankful my cousin Allie came to the ole MO to reset with me.…
Dear Middle Schoolers, This week one of your teachers invited me in to speak to your class. You reminded of something during that hour that created a special moment for me. 18 years ago, I was in middle school. Honestly, I don’t ever feel old until I type things like “18 years ago, I was…
