I love Irish Blessings and Sayings. Some are so true, some so funny. I thought I would share a few of my favorites today.

It’s funny how much my life has changed since my husband has been home. My children are happier and closer to their father and most days I feel like I have a partner by my side helping me. Of course there are days when he drives me crazy but we seem to get through those […]
