Tip #31 – Live everyday asking:

“Will this bring me closer to God?”

How to Make Slime

Does anyone remember GAK? That ooey gooey slime that made a rather disturbing sound when pushed forcefully into a container? I remember making it with my classmates in 3rd grade and who knew slime would still be a hit? I figured if I could make it in 3rd grade, I could still attempt to make…

Packing Up Life

If you have moved before, like millions and millions do every year, you know the feeling. Where and how to pack everything away? What to keep, what not to keep? What to pack up and what should wait?
