Lessons From My First Year of Parenting

Photo by Robin Benzrihem on Unsplash It's now been about a couple of weeks that we have been stuck at home. These are by far the weirdest times I have ever experienced. So many people sick, without jobs, the economy tanking, and no end in sight. So sad, right? I just recur to prayer to be able to…
What’s the hype with decluttering?
It's been a few years since decluttering became a household word. The act has become a sensation to the point where Netflix has a series and YouTube has tons of videos on it. Some might ask, "Why is this such a big deal? Cleaning is not revolutionary." Well, it can be. In these days, we…
