A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Elf Extravaganza. Our church hosted a really fun event for the 5th and 6th graders called Elf Extravaganza. The kiddos can dress up like elves and everything (games/activites) is themed around the movie “Elf”. Grayson had a BLAST! The only part he…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A satisfactory crunch. I don’t know about you, but any time I see a patch of ice, I immediately look to see if it is the thin opaque type–you know the kind that gives that glorious crunch when you step on it. I…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Ozark. I love, love, love this show. It’s on Netflix and there are currently 2 seasons to enjoy.
