In all honesty, Christmas is more than consumerism and what you can buy at a store. It is about the birth of Jesus Christ, all things festive, family and generosity. This is what my family and I are trying to remind ourselves. That is why we are conducting the “A Christmas Without Presents” experiment!...

If you think college was hard, difficult, or soul sucking... you should brace yourself because you are in for a shock! The most challenging class you will ever take is called “The Post-Graduate Life” and if you do not remain optimistic, you will fail.

My mom and I recently took a trip to Des Moines, Iowa in order to enroll my sister, Bailey, into Drake University. Boy, what a trip it was!
