Merry Christmas From Our House To Yours

Our Annual Message For The Season

December 25, 2017

 

 

"In the midst of an overly connected world where everyone shares everything, often with fake perceptions, it’s easy to feel inadequate. It’s discouraging when everyone seems to have it all together when you don’t. And it’s hard to remember that you are enough just the way you are.  Everywhere you look it seems that people are doing amazing things. Especially during the holiday season. There’s elaborate Elf on the Shelf ideas, perfectly decorated Christmas cookies, creative homemade gifts, beautiful wrapping jobs, expensive presents, and more. When everyone seems to have more talent, time, and money than you, how are you enough?" - LivingWellMom.  (Click on link to read more.)
