  1. Hello Zenni Optical! (www.zennioptical.com) It’s the perfect place to buy a replacement or extra pair of glasses for a growing boy, or in my case, the mama of a now grown boy. (You can’t beat their prices!)

  2. I am married to a Belgian and we live in Leuven (home of Stella Artois) and I promise the friets here are truly an art form!

  3. Hi Lisa! I absolutely love reading your blog. It is so encouraging and sweet. Hoping you and your family have a wonderful week!

  8. i’m saying hello to a week without my workout buddy–going solo, not losing 5 days!–and to my man spending an extra day in SD, CA to help a church get its video link ready for easter.
