Miss Beth on Motherhood
Jan 18, 2010I’m grateful to the Lord for surrounding me with sweet friendships. It’s wonderful to be able to walk through seasons of life with other women who are treading down the same path.

Read MoreTurkey Tweets…and Other Necessary Things
Priscilla | Jan 12, 2010Yesterday, I tweeted about an “incident” here in the Shirer Household.
