Retirement Is a Long Way Off…Or Is It?

December 13, 2011
By

As a 40-something, retirement seems far off. I’m not ready to retire. Heck. I’m barely back to work after some years off as a stay-at-home mom. Now that I have been back in the workforce for a couple of years, I suppose I should give retirement more thought and consideration. But isn’t planning for...

What Is Technology to You? #windowsphone

What Is Technology to You? #windowsphone

As a kid in England, technology meant nothing to me. I was as far away from being a tech geek as you could be. My neighbor was super cool as he had an Atari system. Even the little kid I babysat for had a simple computer through the TV. I remember a handful of...

Getting All MacGyver with It

September 14, 2011
By

I’m your man…uh…mom….I mean woman for the job. As a mom of 3, I entered the blogosphere late…very late. My youngest was already 5 years old. Can you say scramble? That’s right I had to scramble and race and forage for stuff to post about. 12-, 10-, and 5-year-olds are interesting and fascinating creatures...

Kindergarten, Preschool, Work… Where Were You? 9/11

September 11, 2011
By

It was an ordinary Tuesday morning. Nothing out of the ordinary… I woke up after my husband left for his teaching job at as local high school. Once up, I woke up my 5- and 3-year-olds for school. Breakfast, teeth brushing, picking out school clothes, arguing over why you can’t wear a tutu to school,...

Achieving Balance Naturally

August 3, 2011
By

I’m 46…I think. I tend not to think about my age. I do dwell on the passage of time, but not much. I get wrapped up in the fact that my oldest will go to college in a few short years. But for the most part I don’t worry about how old I look...

In Our Home Service Is a Family Affair — @VolunteerSpot Summer of Service

I have fond memories of going on retreat as a teen. My school would schedule several trips throughout the school year to a monastery a few hours’ drive from my home. The retreats were a way for us to get away for a few days to the quiet of the monastery. I enjoyed getting...

A Love of Books…Starts Early… [Five + Five Road to Literacy Test Drive]

A Love of Books…Starts Early… [Five + Five Road to Literacy Test Drive]

Books! We’re a book family through and through. I read to my kids from the time we arrived home from the hospital with each of them. I didn’t read to them in utero. My husband would grab a stack of boardbooks as he prepared our babies and toddlers for bed. He’d start with one...

Writing. Is. Hard.

April 22, 2011
By

How many posts have I started with “I’m exhausted”? A billion? But, really…I am exhausted. My eyes even have that crusty feel. I’m eyeing (is that even the right spelling?) the couch wondering if I can just hurl my body on to the couch and sleep! I might have to dislodge a glued to...

I Feel Like a Grownup…Yes, I Do!

You know how 10 years ago you could pick up a box of business cardstock and print your own cards. This was back in the day when the cards you printed had no logo…just your name, job title, business name and address, and perhaps an email, but definitely not twitter or Facebook or urls....

A Passion Realized…and a Special Offer from @Yoursphere

April 1, 2011
By

Passion? It’s a word I don’t use often. If you know me IRL or online, you’ll know I am not one to go overboard when talking…I’m too English…too reserved. I save the word “passion” for times when I completely support or love a person or a cause. I rarely use “passion” when blogging about...
