Grief during Lent Lent is about 1 week away. And to be honest, I have kind of been putting off making plans for it. Partly because things here have been overwhelmingly busy.

Happy Wednesday! Today got off to a rocky start for me- I slept in…on a preschool day. Oops. Preschool days are supposed to be early days! I need to get Gabriel up and dressed by 6:30, followed by the girls, so they can eat breakfast and we can get out the door by 7:30, giving …
