I am starting this blog as a way to share with my friends. I am blessed to have an amazing group of women in my life with amazing strengths. Everyday one of you gives me advice for my home, health or heart. I want to be able to share that with all of you. I would love for you to share that with each other. I will keep this PG, since a lot of us have lives open to the public. My next post will be that muffin recipe I have been meaning to share.
