This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime! And then&#8230; what have we gotten ourselves into?! We&#8217;ve agreed to rent a home there, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed a very Peter Pan type of childhood&#8230; well, if Peter Pan lived in the concrete jungle. All the neighborhood kids spent endless summer nights creating our own society of sorts, among the alleys in between row homes on the edge of Baltimore City. Most of us had no idea we lived in such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When considering the phrase &#8220;stolen moments,&#8221; I&#8217;ve always thought of two young lovers stealing away for a little private time. But lately, I&#8217;ve come to realize it can simply refer to any precious moment in which one person is filled — or rather, overcome — with love for another. Let me explain. When my girls were little, [...]]]></description>

Since I am only a clean-what-people-see type of housekeeper, this means we spent all day Saturday cleaning everything else (bedrooms, closets, oh and my office &#8211; that alone took almost 4 hours!). Each kid was given a trash bag (for [...]]]></description>

We started this journey over a year ago, after returning from our third family mission trip to Nicaragua. And then, in September, we started meeting twice a month with another family who was interested in joining us. The big decision? Whether to spend the [...]]]></description>
