    We have a sort of tradition in my little family. Every Saturday we get up and make breakfast together. Sometimes we make Eggs, Bacon, biscuits and hash browns, other mornings we have waffles or pancakes. It’s always a fun way to start the day together.

    We live in a very exciting technological time. Ten years ago, the internet looked a lot different than it does now, almost everyone has a smart phone, and I don’t know if anyone had any clue how many different ways there would be to communicate. “I don’t know how many things about “me” are actually…
