Kate said, “SECRET.” I love this photograph – look at the little girl’s eyes! She seems to be delighting in her mom’s secret. I wonder what Mom is telling her.

Five Minute Friday: INCLUDE
Kate said, “Include.” This morning I woke up, got coffee, came upstairs to do my FMF post. When I saw the word “include” I thought to myself this may be hard.

Five Minute Friday: INTENTIONAL
That Kate…she is so prompt, at 9:45 p.m. eastern time she gave the call… I wasn’t asleep but alas, this girl does not write at 10 o’clock for anything… 00:00 INTENTIONAL is such a buzz word – “be intentional,” “do it with intention,” “I want to be intentional with my time.” And the catch phrases… [Read More]
