In their new book, Crawford and Karen Loritts discuss the impact of marriage on future generations. They also share wisdom for building strong marriages.

Most of my excitement is because I get to read a new book (if you’re a bibliophile like me then you’ll understand this). However, some of my excitement is because I didn’t choose the book—it’s often a book that I would not have picked up on my own!

10 Things You Shouldn’t Tell a Pregnant Woman

July 16, 2018 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

There’s something about seeing a pregnant woman that seems to loosen tongues. I’m not sure why it is, but people seem to throw off all restraint and say whatever is on their minds.

There are a number of fabulous Christmas songs that aren’t specific to Christmas. It’s great to listen to these songs at other times of the year!
