If you don’t get to it every day try for once a week. I’m not talking about a lot of time and a lot of mess. I’m talking about 15 minutes a day. I’m such a S.H.E. [side-tracked home executive] that I don’t even de-clutter the same place two days in a row. And if [...]

Sunday Poem ~ Don’t Give Up
‘Twixt failure and success the point’s so fine Men sometimes know not when they touch the line, Just when the pearl was waiting one more plunge, How many a struggler has thrown up the sponge! Then take this honey from the bitterest cup: “There is no failure save in giving up!” Author Unknown
Controlling Interest by Elizabeth White
Controlling Interest was a good relaxing read that made me smile. Just the kind I like. Natalie Tubberville, the heroine, is smart but trouble prone. Matt Hogan, the hero, is street semi-wise. Both have backgrounds they’re ashamed of but have given their hearts to the Lord and are trying to live for Him. I like [...]
Following The Leader’s Bad Habits
Recently I read Numbers chapter 11 when the Israelites ask for meat and the Lord says that He’s going to give the Israelites flesh [meat] for a whole month “until it come out your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you:” [Reminds me of sometimes when the kids bug and bug and bug and bug [...]
Nightshade by Ronie Kendig
I was first introduced to author Ronie Kendig when I read Dead Reckoning. Nightshade is the first book in her new Discarded Heroes Series. Let me just say that right now I want to read the rest of the series. Is it among my top favorites? No. Is it good? Yes. I like the military aspect [...]
An Annual Chore
I know that you are all so -o jealous of my glamorous life. [cough, cough] Just look at who I’m dancing with today: Isn’t he cute? He and I will be cutting cleaning a rug today. May you find joy in the simple chores of life. Take care!
Do We Talk Funny?
I read a post from a lady that now lives in Pennsylvania, but she didn’t grow up here. [I'm sorry I can't remember where it is; it wasn't one of my normal blog stops.] She mentioned several differences she noticed in PA and mentioned that we drop the words “to be.” She is right. I [...]
I See Another Giveaway In This Blog’s Future
A while ago I was contacted by CSN about doing a review. It sounded like fun, but honestly I didn’t know what to pick! They have over 200 online stores with everything from dining room tables and baby cribs to house lights and Legos. Even though I have a dollar limit there are way too [...]
SuperMom Vs. Time
Lately it seems like the shower immobilizes me. Seems like I could stand there for hours while the warm water runs. Usually my brain runs like crazy and I think of writing ideas and tons of stuff I have to do, but not lately. Seems more like my brain says, “Ah, warm water. Let’s just [...]
Lovable Labels BlogHer10 Getaway Contest
A Day In The Life Of A Mom Blogger In the following video I show a fairly typical day for me – the eating out is not typical; that was a treat. If you’re a mom you’ll understand that I didn’t include the myriad of little things we do all day long that include answering questions, [...]
