I decided to take a few days off from blogging to concentrate on my sweet boy. At only 2 1/2, BabyCoolJ has been such a trooper with our move. From staging our home, to running out the door, to living out of boxes, it has been such a great change being planted and building roots in our new community. We are now almost 3-weeks-in! And every day he says “I love our new home.”
For every season and change, I turn to books for my toddler. A good book can really speak to children, and it is amazing how a story can help them get through anything. Before we began packing, we read him Boomer’s Big Day on a daily basis. It really helped the transition of moving.
25 hot summer plus size dresses, all less than $50!
It’s getting hot out there! At least for folks in Texas, it’s been in the 80’s/90’s all week. I actually pulled out some shorts finally, it felt so freeing.
I’ve always been a big fan of dresses, especially those found in “junior plus size” lines because of my height and I like to keep it fashionable! I had packed away all my summer dresses in December when we decided to sell our home and just unpacked them last week. So guess what I wore this weekend?
How to find a new church after a move

But it can be hard to church shop. Hopping from church to church can be exhausting, and while I look forward to visiting a handful of new congregations, I wouldn’t want our list to be too long.
