This past Sunday, our family visited Homestead Heritage for their annual Christmas program. My sister warned me that it was amazing, but I wasn’t prepared to be wowed like I was. And honestly, I could have been wowed more had we not taken the kids. In their defense, they had had a full day, church, …
We need to poop more
In my 6 years of blogging before I started fresh on deliniation, the post with the most traffic and the most comments was this one (from September 3, 2006). So, here it is again.

The illusion of not being broke
I’ve never FELT so broke as I do now because we no longer rely on credit cards, even for emergencies.
