I’m all Sicky Vicky up in here on New Year’s Eve

I tend not to make New Year’s Resolutions is because I feel like they put added pressure on reaching the goals you set. Goal setting can be challenging in itself, and to put a time frame on trying to accomplish something seems like you’re only setting yourself up for failure. I have a Life List [...]

Saying goodbye to Twenty-Ten

Another year gone, and I continue to be in awe of all the blessings God continues to shower me with: My husband who is my best friend, a family who adores me, my beautiful friends who continue to support my choices and endeavors, and my incredible readers who allow me to come into their homes [...]
