whatever it takes
I haven’t always been the best about taking the time away I need for me. In certain seasons of life it just hasn’t been practical but having come off of a few tough years (deployments, moves, transitions) I am learning more and more that practical or not, mama needs a break every now and again.

what I learned in march
Today I’m linking up with Emily P. Freeman at Chatting at the Sky to share what we learned in March.

all the right moves
It pains me to say that on Monday, my son is going to have to walk into his agricultural science class at co-op and turn in a tri-folded project board and some printed up data from a science fair project that yielded exactly no conclusion and no results.
