Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
A few weeks ago I couldn’t bend my mind to this question. The question I was pondering was “What Is Your Word for 2013?” I had no clue. No words popped in to my mind. Why? I was too busy recovering from 2012, that’s why. You see the first part of 2012 was more...

Things that make me say “Hmmmmm.” Today’s hmmmmm-inducing moment…I searched my blog for the word “bucket” to find my Bucket List post. Apparently, I have used the word “bucket” 137 times on my blog. Doesn’t this sound like a lot? I probably used a few to talk about children’s toys, a few more in...

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.

My kids LOVE to bake. They bake for birthdays, holidays, and just because. The older one bakes for friends at school. I don’t know how she carries a tray of cupcakes and her backpack and lunchbox, but she manages somehow. She likes sharing what she bakes with her friends. Two weekends ago, my son...

It’s the blogger’s dilemma isn’t it? We chose blogging for the flexibility and freedom. We love that we can work from home or from the office or from Starbucks or from the airport. We love that we can work around our kids and their schedules. We love the flexibility of it all. I love...

Picture if you will a family room. There are two small couches. One desk chair. One recliner with a footstool. Two people are sitting in the family happily watching TV. Relaxing. Stretched out. Comfy. Enjoying the relative quiet. Feet up on the coffee table. There’s a patter of footsteps heard by the two people....
