Saturday was a doozy of a day. At bedtime, we didn’t know if the snow would last or not. Snow on the roads was sure to make driving a difficult experience. By morning, there was little if any snow on the ground. I stepped...

My husband is a creature of habit. I challenge anyone to find a person more of a creature of habit…he would hate it if I called him set in his ways…not that I would say hat of course… But he’s definitely a creature of habit. If he leaves his comb on the edge of...

I found a notepad the other day. It was a white, narrow-ruled letter-sized pad. Full. No empty pages. Every square inch of every page was filled with writing. The corners of the pad were curled up. Pages were somewhat frayed. What had I written on the pad? On closer inspection, I saw immediately what...

A vacation should be relaxing. Stress free. A welcome distraction from life back home. That’s the theory anyway. I’ve heard rumors of relaxing vacations.

I was talking to a dad at my son’s end-of-season sports party about cycling. As the kids splashed in the pool, we chatted about soccer, our jobs, and our families.

There was a time when I was rarely inside during the day. My little ones wanted to be outside all the time. Playing in the sandbox. Swinging on the swings. Running around. Playing ball. Riding bikes. You name it and we were outside doing it. Don’t get me wrong I love the fresh air,...
