Gracious Living

I am a lucky girl. Every morning I wake up and thank GOD for all of my blessings. I have a great man, two healthy children, a beautiful home, food on the table, and a lot of wonderful people in my life. Today I went to the grocery store and picked up three turkeys and [...]

20 years on the job!

Just last week Bill and I toasted our 20 year anniversary. It was 20 years ago that he made the big move and leaned in for a bit smoocherino. And that was it. Has every minute been perfect? No. Marriage is hard work. But if you put your effort into it, the result is amazing. [...]

Halloween Family Fun

It’s really not about the candy or the costumes, Halloween is a great opportunity to bond with your family. You don’t have to be a huge supporter of the evil side, you can simply look at it as a day to celebrate the harvest. Celebrating the harvest was the original inspiration for the celebration that [...]

The power of the universe

The power of the universe. The Yin and the Yang. The give and the take. I live my life this way. I believe it in my soul. I tell it to everyone in my life. You get what you give. And you get what you want. You live what you expect. Wow, that’s a lot [...]

Don’t drink all my beer

Don’t you just hate when you throw a party or have a get together and one obnoxious guest drinks all of your beer? Or wine? Or scoops every last bit of dip out of your bowl? Through the years I have had my share of annoying and over-bearing guests who just don’t seem to know [...]

I just watched a news segment that said bullying is an epidemic and it is more viscious than ever. Last month you all heard about the middle school boy who hung himself after being teased and tormented by his classmates. He was a sweeet and sensitive boy who just couldn’t take it. I saw his [...]

Autumn just around the corner

I love Autumn. My husband makes fun of me. He thinks I am dark and gloomy. That is how he sees the fall season. I see it as warm and cozy. I love wearing sweaters. I love my Uggs. I love making stew and chicken soup. I love my tea with honey and I love [...]

Back to school! Stay organized!

It’s back to school time. And while many of us, especially me, are happy to have some free time to ourselves, the school routine is just exhausting. Getting up early, dressing the children, feeding them, getting them to school ontime, then the homework each day, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. And if [...]

Hooray, I have the internet!

I realize I have a tru addiction. To the world. Being cut of from what is going on was just driving me crazy. Thanks to Irene hitting my community hard, we were without power and internet for days. The first night I thought my daughter Hannah was going to have a breakdown. Really, she was [...]

America is knocked off its pedestal!

So we are no longer a super power? The S&P has just down-graded America. Our triple A status is now only double A. Back in April Standard & Poor warned our government that they were considering dropping our top notch credit rating because our country was in too much debt. In light of the recent [...]
