Finding the Best in Midwest Weekend Getaways
Colossians 1:16-17 – “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in
One of the greatest things about the North Iowa Bloggers is that when one of them falls, everyone else is around to pick them up! That’s why when I heard that one of them had been diagnosed with MS, I knew that I wanted to help!
I have to admit…I knew Laura Meyer of Speaking of Laura for several months (she had done some graphic design work for me including creating my logo here at Social Impact) without ever knowing that she had been diagnosed with MS. One of the first things that struck me about Laura when I met her was her vibrancy for life! She’s incredibly upbeat, creative, and outgoing. I would never have guessed that she was struggling with something so serious.

You often see bloggers do “a day in my life” and I’m always intrigued reading these because I love to see how others live. I decided that I was going to do the same type of thing, but instead decided that I’m going to do a week in the life of me because so often it isn’t one day that makes up my crazy schedule or busy life, or exhausts me…it’s the week all smushed together! So, enjoy!!
Sunday – Sunday mornings are usually pretty casual and laid back around our home. This is also when I get lots of chores done. Today it’s coffee & breakfast with T, then chores (laundry, unloading and reloading the dishwasher, prepping fruits, veggies, and lunches for the week). Then, doing some blogging of course and working on Facebook posts for some of the businesses I work with over on Social Impact. Lunch came next followed by a lot of working outside. Supper with R, a relaxing bath, and then chilling until bedtime (it never comes early enough on the weekends when we work outside so much).
Step-parenting is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and sadly society doesn’t make it any easier. For as long as divorce and remarriage has been a “common” thing, one would think that there would be more acceptance of step-parents and less cliches! However, the longer I am one…the less I realize this is true! That being said, my life is so much richer and full because of having my step-sons in my life and I can’t imagine my life without them in it. So, I decided to compile some advice for people who aren’t step-parents!
Isaiah 40:28 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.”
Revelation 4:11 – “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
