Have there been times in your life when you felt like you didn’t fit in? My answer would certainly be yes, and I would venture a guess that most of you have felt this way at times, too

Really, the little acts of kindness that come from my dairy farmer husband — at the least expected of times and the most needed of times — are what make my heart skip a beat

It’s fun to watch your children’s interests develop as they grow. They each dive into areas that spark that enjoyment in life

I'm kind of rediscovering who I am and what my hopes are

I’ve always been the person who wants to compare herself to others. I can’t help it
