One of the best parts of being a mom is getting to watch my son play college football on Saturdays. I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything! But I’ll admit, sometimes I’m a little sad when I see all the fun things happening back home in our community while I’m sitting in the stands cheering […]

A Day On The Golf Course

Last week I spent an afternoon on the golf course with my youngest son. At one point, after one of our less-than-stellar shots, I told him, “A bad day on the golf course is still a great day.” The truth is, I know how fortunate I am. I get to spend time with my children, […]
