The Biggest Adventure

A Dallas Demons Holiday Short-Reese and JP                 I watch JP from across the room, talking with Matt, throwing his head back and laughing at something he said. Warmth fills me as that beautiful smile of his lights up his face. God, I love that man so much. As much as the day I married […]

The Greatest Gift

A Dallas Demons Holiday Short-Holly and Matt     “How are you doing?” Matt asks, affectionately placing a hand on my back and stroking it. “Do you need to step out for some air?”                 I gaze up at my husband, whose beautiful blue eyes reflect nothing but concern for me.

Soup Review-Giada’s House Soup from Happy Cooking
