  • Simplifying

    Sometimes that looks like removing Facebook from your phone.   Game changer. People. Seriously.   I still receive messages and I can access on my laptop but I can honestly say, life is good.  No longer bombarded by lost pets, daily drama that should be privatized (IMO), and  relentless ads for stuff I’ve already purchased.  It

  • In the works…

    While I plug away on my new blog (hopefully ready to roll out next week), I just have to ask:  “Have you been watching the Pope?!?!?!?!?”  I am so fascinated.  It started with his virtual audience around the U.S. in which I used a ridiculous amount of tissues.  His compassion is so genuine and his

    It’s a funny thing when you change things up.  Things change. About 6 weeks ago the Hubby and I started Dave Ramsey’s program, offered at my job (FREE) and during this time, I’ve felt other areas of my life begging for a re-constructing as well.  Change is good.  Hard.  But good.  And generally, the good

Prayers.  Add in a nasty skin infection and possible parasite complication and I’d say we hit allllllllll

  • Duct tape and cupcakes

    I’m on a few vacation days with the hubs here at the homestead.  Soaking up the last few days of summer before we kick back into the school year (24th here).  It’s about a million degrees here and we are pretty sloth-like during the day (except my hubs—he’s like a shark, always moving).  Anyhoo.  The

  • *not a reference to NFP It’s been 6 years this May that we’ve been in our house.  One of the things I loved about this house when we bought it was the move-in ready appeal.  The paint worked for me (mostly, I can live with the bathrooms but that will change at some point) and

  • Which is truly not my gift.  I have a mother, sister and friends who are incredibly talented and can just look at a blank wall, room, furniture and work it in no time flat to be completely Pinterestable.  yep not me.  That goes for scrapbooking as well.  However, I am here to tell you that
