Just say no! Sometimes you have to learn that life will go on, even if you cannot possibly accomplish another thing. Sometimes, I find myself overwhelmed and visiting the chiropractor more than normal, having more headaches and indulging in excessive comfort snacking. It’s at these times I have to stop, take inventory of my schedule […]

We often fail as parents. Although we love our children dearly, the truth is, we aren’t perfect. We make mistakes. Since I’m older and one of the reasons I blog is to share something that might inspire, encourage or teach someone, I thought I’d share one of my failures. One of the areas I missed […]

The weekly photo challenge was to depict home – to me, THEY are home….My husband, my daughters and my granddaughter…wherever we are together, living, loving, eating, playing….This applies to extended family members as well of course!

What a day! It seemed like from the moment I left the comforting walls of my humble abode, nothing was going to be easy.

If I died tomorrow, what would people to say about me? I think it’s helpful sometimes to think of your life this way. My parents, my kids, my friends, those who don’t even know me well, the ones I meet at the grocery store, on the plane, at the sports event. How would they remember […]

Are you watching the Super Bowl today? I am not unless my family is home and watching it and I just happen to be in the room (translate as I will watch with my family if they want to because I love them). I used to, but along with all the other wonderful freedoms that […]

This week’s photo challenge was “In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture that says UNIQUE to you.” These are all unique to me in different ways. Things that all by themselves might not make a huge impact, but due to their pairings, situations or surroundings, they become “unique”. Hope you […]

Okay ladies, let’s get real. It’s almost Valentines Day. For those of us who are married or involved with someone, a large percentage of us must admit that yes, in fact, we do want something. Granted, some of us are easier to please than others. There are those who say, “I really don’t want anything” […]
