She loves softball. I like seeing this part of her develop. I'm thankful she has a place where her strong-will, competitive nature, and drive… Continue reading Spoiling Steph (Ruth’s SOLS)

Board Games (Ruth’s SOLS)
Board games are a very good thing. When the girls first moved home we played them all the time. I'd love to write more, but our Internet has quit & posting from my phone is a little clunky. So this Slice is quite simply: Board games are a very good thing.
