Confession time: I have a sweet tooth. Like, a big one. I also enjoy cooking and baking...sometimes. I typically send a plate of whatever treat I've made with my officer to the station...because if not, I'm totally going to eat them all!

5 realistic + easy ways to be budget conscious as a blue family
For most of our time together my officer and I have had to be budget conscious.

organizing blue life
There are several words to describe blue life, but I would say one of the top ones would be "chaotic". Am I right?!

The sight of this band causes a visceral reaction each and every time I see it. It’s just a few inches of fabric.

Last week we talked about the importance of proclaiming truth over our homes. God's word is powerful! It has meaning. We also can proclaim truths over our officers.
