The time we ran away from the kids
TweetIts been exactly a week since our 2 day getaway and I’m still living on cloud 9! To celebrate our Anniversary (24 September) and my Birthday (25 September) we were gifted with a stay at Mofam River Lodge and it was amazing. Carl and I haven’t really ever gone away alone except for our Honeymoon which was 4 years ago, and since having Josh join our little family there just hasn’t been time or energy to plan something like this.

Having FAITH and starting a small business
TweetTaking a step IN faith! Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Should I wait in Faith or Step out in Faith?” For the last 2 years I have done just that. I’ve dreamt about starting my own business, something small, something manageable and something that means something to me. I work well with balance, with structure and being comfortable. This has been fine, until now. Very recently I’ve been questioning myself, questioning where I see myself in the next 5 years, trying to work on my plan and one night before I fell asleep I thought, “Do I really want to live in my comfort zone for the rest…
