Mocha, Mercy and Mondays: Visit the Sick
Visiting the sick was a lot easier before I was a mom. Although ironically, when I became a mom, I had to visit my child at the hospital every day.

The “Old School” Christmas Card Challenge
Christmas cards have changed a lot in my lifetime. At some point, the traditional Christmas card became more rare than the "family photo" holiday card. For a person who spent some lonely years in her twenties, then struggled with infertility in her thirties, the family photo Christmas card was a dream for much longer than it was an option.
