Hello dear friends! It's been a CrAzY week with us running every which way but loose. Or maybe that was just a movie back in the late '70s. Whatever. That is how I felt. Running here and there and everywhere. I don't foresee it getting better until the end of April. Somebody hold me. I'll jump ...

Giving thanks at Thanksgiving and always
Well, hello dear readers! It has been too long! And tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Bring on the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes & gravy, appetizers, pie, and rolls. Oh, and the turkey. (Can you tell I love me some carbs??!!!) Many things have been consuming me, with writing my book proposal at the very top of the ...

Some days it is hard to adult, but we must have faith
Fergie, you are all wrong. Big girls do cry. Especially when they have to grow up and clean their closet. (That reference would be to one of my favorite songs Fergie sang back in the summer of 2007. You are welcome for useless musical trivia.) Yesterday, I met my friend Katie for Bible study in the ...

It’s been a long time…
Well, it's been awhile. QUITE awhile since I've been on here. My last blog post was about a month ago. I think know this is the longest I've ever gone without being on here. And I've missed it. I've missed you all. You see, summer fun just consumed us like crazy. Hubby, the boys, and I went ...

Weekend Recap: Praying for miracles. Big or small.
Well, this weekend was rather interesting. My Saturday did not go as I had planned. Not that I had grand plans of how to spend the afternoon, but going to the Emergency Room was NOT even on my radar. But that's where I ended up. Seriously. Am I the only one who does stupid little things ...

Weekend Recap: Deep thoughts (and not by Jack Handy)
Well. I could go into a whole therapy session right about now, but I'll spare you. Maybe. Long story short, last week was just one of those weeks. It was difficult, frustrating, heart tugging...all of that fun stuff. When you set out to become a writer and a blogger the skies do not part and a ...

Weekend Recap and today…we’ve got one under the weather
Well, I meant to write about the weekend, but yesterday I was working on my book and that takes A LOT of brain power. Quite honestly, it zaps my creativity completely. And when I'm done spending hours at Coffeesmiths, the rest of life beckons me back to reality. Meaning LAUNDRY and DISHES and cooking supper ...

When Halloween costumes go bad…there’s good news
Our weekend was full of pre-Halloween celebrations. Grandma Helen's Fall Party, carving jack-o-lanterns, roasting pumpkin seeds, going to the Schares' Pumpkin Carving Party, touring the Haunted Trail in the darkest of the night (or maybe it was just 7:45 p.m.), and visiting Bloomsbury Farm complete with a bin of corn, pig races, pumpkin launching, haunted ...

Fun Friday Favorites: What I’m reading and cardigans I love
Well, this past week, I've missed you dear readers, but I was so busy traveling to Hawaii that I forgot to post. Except for NOT. I realize that I've been absent and I offer my apologies. I could go into why I haven't been on here, but then I'd be rambling on and on about ...

Fear of the unknown
Do you remember those moments when you started something new? Say seventh grade? Which polo shirt to wear on your first day of junior high? Collar up or collar down? And locker combination...would I forget it? Or what about going off to college? Would I like my roommates? What if I sleep walk? What if they ...
