I really enjoyed reading the book Dead Reckoning. You know I don’t say that very often about a book. This is Ronie Kendig’s debut novel and I’ve noticed that debut novels are usually among the best of an author’s work. Maybe it’s because of the fact that a ton of people want to be published [...]

Sunday Poem ~ The Boomerang
One unkind word in the early morn will poison the thoughts for the day;
One unkind look to one we love will take all the sunshine away.
And twice all the sunshine we take away
From the lives of others at early day
We steal from ourselves the whole day long,.
And we lose the beauty of earth’s glad song.

Building A Snowman For Family Time
I believe that family time is important. Sometimes we are so busy and worn out that movie time is family time. It’s okay, but there’s no interaction during movie time – know what I mean? In the following video I show you the time when we purposely went outside together to get wet and cold [...]
My Children Have Trouble With Names

Two phrases that gifted my heart -
“Mommy, [...]

The post office asks, “Does your package contain anything liquid, perishable, fragile or potentially hazardous?”
Like a terrorist is going to [...]
New Bowl From ConAgra
This year all the Blissdom conference attendees are getting a package from the sponsors before the conference. I think it’s a great idea! ConAgra Foods sent us what you see in the pictures. Thank you ConAgra! I had no idea all those brands were from the same company.
It was a cheddar popcorn from Redenbacher’s and [...]
My Living Room Has More Magazine Order Forms Than A Doctor’s Office
When I read a magazine I get slightly annoyed when the little postcards fall out. You know the ones that you can send in to order the magazine? Every magazine has them – even kids magazines. Therein lies the problem. My kids love them!
They have found so many uses for those pieces of paper! They [...]
Going To Read Instead Of Write
In my online world:
Today is the first day the link-up is live for my The Vlogging Challenge that I started at my other site. There is a monthly prize of a $50 restaurant.com certificate. I’m so excited to see who will link up!
I’m communicating with the other speakers about the vlogging workshop for the Blissdom [...]
