You were made for greatness.
I’m a quote junkie. I have such a hard time articulating my own thoughts and feelings, so I often turn to others people’s words to do the job for me. I love quotes about anything and everything, but I especially love inspirational quotes. Some days you just need a little extra motivation to get you moving in the right direction and that’s exactly what i needed the other day. That’s how I came across this quote by Pope Benedict XVI. “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort.

Hello world!
I know that blogging and running a website might seem second nature to a lot of people out there, but not to me. I’ve never been the most technologically advanced person, despite growing up in a very technologically advanced age. If I’m being totally honest, I still struggle starting a DVD for my kids! A quick bit about me: My name is Katrina and I am a stay-at-home mom to five amazing kids. I enjoy living on our small farm and the work that comes with it. My life is messy and wild and exactly what I’ve always dreamed of. So even though this blog is still in it’s infancy…
