This post contains affiliate links. What’s it like when your teenage boys ask you if they can have a Harry Potter room? Well….it’s confusing. On one hand you’re thrilled that they love to read and want to be surrounded by literary characters. On the other hand you know that everything you’ve ever seen with that…
We are so, so close to getting our house finished and even starting to take some pics to share. Hopefully by this time next week I will start showing you rooms that have been completely redone and it’s exciting (to me at least). Redoing a house is one of those things that teases you. You…
So far it’s been a banner year here at the Point. Between the house fire in January and one daughter getting engaged and another having a baby and my car dying and having no fridge for months….and that’s just the highlight reel. I have hundreds of other smaller disasters happening all around me all the…
Well it’s been a while since I blogged. I discovered that I can’t live through a fire recovery AND keep up with writing. It’s one or the other. So many of y’all have reached out to me to ask how we are doing and it blesses my heart! You’re the kindest people on the planet….

This week is full to the brim….well it’s actually overflowing to the floor and down the hallway. I am just trying to keep it all organized. I am planning a wedding with our oldest daughter, flying to Orlando for a few days, getting ready for the Texas Summit (you MUST come!!!) this weekend and that’s not…
