It’s funny, today someone asked me how I do it all, but I always feel like I am not doing enough and I never considered that I was doing much. This week I went to university choir, church choir, my daughter’s field hockey game, an apple festival, volunteered for Compassion International at a Keith and … [Read more…]
Good morning! I wanted to introduce you to my cup. This beautiful bright poppy colored gem was given to me for my birthday by one of my favorite people (you know who you are!) but it had been sitting in my cabinet, sadly unused, among the multicolored fiesta ware and my husbands ugly brown Mango … [Read more…]
I’m leaving for a 4 day “excursion” to Las Vegas for a work related conference. Unfortunately Las Vegas is just about the last place on earth I’d like a free trip to and all I can think is that if my plane were to crash I would end up dying going to a place I … [Read more…]
Apparently I like black animals. My standard poodle Violet is jet black. I love Toothless, the dragon on How to Train Your Dragon, and now, meet Rhino. He’s the little black thing in the picture above. He’s a 4 week old Peruvian Guinea pig who hitched a ride home with us from the state fair … [Read more…]
I have been working on 2 posts for the past week. The first one about shoes and the second about clothing because the first morphed into the second and they deserve equal billing. But life happens and getting all the pictures and links and what not set up just right hasn’t quite gotten there yet. … [Read more…]
I love to read the bible but admittedly I don’t follow a “plan.” I’ve tried. Really I have. I’ve tried bible study guides, 1 year plans, following the daily readings given at church and reading through a book at a time as I see fit. Usually reading one book at a time works ok but … [Read more…]
Lately it seems that it takes a lot more effort to do simple things. First I must muster up courage, then conquer fear and anxiety and then commit to the time needed for a task. (Does this resonate with anyone?) And that was just to balance the check book! This happens EVERY TIME. And with … [Read more…]
So I just spent the last 5 minutes laughing hysterically at this post about epic failures at DIY. Seriously funny stuff. I still have damp eyes. Man, does it feel good to laugh. Yesterday the world heard about one of the funniest comedians ever committing suicide. Iran is committing absolute atrocities against Christians. There are … [Read more…]
I was reading this post that I found on Pinterest today. I have been following the Fly Lady for a couple of years although I haven’t followed closely, lol. I am pretty lazy and my decluttering is in fits and starts. It’s ok with me that the dust bunnies fly around for a while before anyone gets to … [Read more…]
This week is VBS (vacation bible school) week at my church. I had volunteered to help with the music before knowing the dates and it turned out that my husbands birthday is in the middle of it (today, in fact). He had his own gig scheduled at a park this evening and I knew if … [Read more…]
