One Mom's Quest for Goodness
I don't like change. When I see change coming, I look at it and politely say "no thanks, dude. Not interested". I like to go to the same restaurants over and over. I've watched the same news channel my entire life. And I love my pastors at church so when someone new steps up to give ...
I've been a member of a Facebook group called Raleigh Moms Group for a couple years now.

This photo not only caught my eye this morning, it made me want to go high five all the students at my children's school. But let's face it. Getting a high five from a mom whom they regularly see at school volunteering or visiting during lunch in the cafeteria just wouldn't have the same clout. These man, part ...
Happy Labor Day! The day all of America is celebrating....what, exactly? I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I don't know what Labor Day is all about. I say almost because I think that most Americans don't really know what we are celebrating, so technically I'm not in the minority. We are just ecstatic to have ...

I expected the definition to be so long that it'd take up too much of my page, not that I'd have to elaborate on it.
