So, TechBooHusband decided to have a little fun tonight. Neither of us have kids with us or any deadlines looming, so he suggested we give each other 3 ingredients as a challenge to make a meal. I was game. We went to the grocery store, and then got on Skype with our webcams as we [...]

It’s been a minute since I posted a blessings post. I haven’t stopped counting them, but I don’t always share.
