Back when I was a teenager my favorite shoes were Converse All Stars. I love basic shoes and appreciate a classic. I also love that they can be a little offbeat and unique. But once I hit my 30s I stopped wearing my favorite shoes because I felt like I was trying to cling to […]

Love to Stay – What to Read if You Only Read One Marriage Book This Year
I read a lot of Christian books but I have recently steered clear of Christian books on marriage. The simple reason is that they tend to include what, to me, seems like an overload of anecdotes.

School’s In – Break Out the Fellowes Laminator (And a Giveaway)
Back when I was a teacher my favorite part of the copy room was the massive laminator it housed. I found myself drawn to it.
