I’ve waited about a week to write this blog. Partly because I needed time to take it all in, and partly because I still can’t believe how quickly it went by. Our girls’ trip was a whirlwind—in the best possible way. Nine days of visiting, hiking, exploring, and taking over everywhere we went. 🤣 And…

Purchasing your first home is one of the most exciting decisions you will ever make—but it can also be one of the most overwhelming. There is so much to think about: credit scores, interest rates, inspections, closing costs, moving expenses, school districts, monthly payments, and whether you are making the right decision. If you have…

I recently met a woman who told me she lost her daughter about ten years ago. She shared a little about who her daughter was, how close they were, and how difficult it has been to live with the grief of losing her. One day, while checking out after a doctor’s appointment, she began talking…
