When my parents cleaned out my old playhouse, to remodel for their grandchildren, they found this gem! I was lucky enough to get to it before it got to the trash. I got some serious looks from my parents and my husband when I mentioned that I would like to take it on as a […]
Have any of you been keeping up with this inspirational kid? Zach Sobiech, his story, his song, his family, and his final days has touched my heart and I am overcome with sadness for his family after his passing this morning. If you haven’t come across his songs or YouTube videos I highly encourage you […]
