  1. I made a delicious meal.
  2. I read a fantastic book.
  3. The sunset was fire!

Good morning! May you reach out to that person who has been on your mind the last few days. #MorningMug

We had so much fun this past week in North Carolina watching Ethan play ball. It’s hard to believe these are the final days of doing so.

Monday lifts are a necessity.

Good morning! May you love well this week. #MorningMug
