About mrstracymartin

I am a woman,wife, mother, friend, child, sister, and most of all redeemed by God. Often, I have random thoughts about any and all of these. I'm passionate about Jesus and my family. I heart being crafty. I love being organized but I struggle with staying that way. I have a masters degree that I've never used in an official paid capacity. I was a social worker before having children. I've been married to my best friend nearly all of my adult life. And I often post things before proof reading. Please forgive me in advance for grammar errors.
