Life happens every day. Good stuff, bad stuff, all sorts of stuff. How we choose to deal with it is what’s important. I find that when bad stuff happens (my basement floods) I end up eating my emotions. Never a good thing. But lately it seems that I find excuses in every day bad stuffContinue reading “Life Happens”

On Being Happy
I know that most people love to hear the drama in other people’s lives so that they can feel that maybe their life isn’t so bad. I get that. I do it too. It’s like looking in a window or peeking behind the curtain and saying to yourself, “well, at least I don’t have THATContinue reading “On Being Happy”
Mothers and Daughters
There is a special bond between mothers and daughters. I’ve known that since I was little and spent time with my mom. I realized it even more after having my daughter and then adding my step daughter to the family. Now that I’m on to raising the third generation of daughters, it’s become even moreContinue reading “Mothers and Daughters”
Family and all that rot……
You know, they say you can’t pick your family but you can pick your friends. Truer words have never been spoken. I’m really feeling the weight and impact of that phrase this week, let me tell you. I love my family, from my parents down to my grandchildren and across the cousins and in-laws fromContinue reading “Family and all that rot……”
Tis the Season for Planting
Spring is here, at least most of the time. Officially, yes, it’s Spring. If you go by the weather, that can be debatable. Regardless, in our house, it’s Spring and time to plant some seeds. Last weekend, my husband cut all the plastic water jugs down for Destiny and I to plant our seeds. WeContinue reading “Tis the Season for Planting”
De-Cluttering
Marie Kondo I am not. Having a company ready home? Nope, don’t have that either. What I do have is a house full of people and stuff, lots and lots of stuff. So much stuff. When Dan and I married 15 years ago this Saturday, we combined two three-bedroom houses, our kids, pets and allContinue reading “De-Cluttering”
Finding the Words
Sometimes I feel like I have so much to say, I’m just bursting with the words and can’t seem to get them out fast enough. Other times, like now, I feel like the words are escaping me, hiding away where I can’t get to them. But I’ll try my best. So much is going onContinue reading “Finding the Words”
Spring is coming…….
We’re already into March and Spring is right around the corner. Spring, for me, has always been a time of new beginnings, of fresh starts. This year is no different. It might look a little different than in years past but that’s to be expected in these current times. It doesn’t change the fact thatContinue reading “Spring is coming…….”
Heart and Soul
My heart hurts and my soul is heavy. These are things that I never like to feel or have to say, but this week, that’s the truth of things. Being a parent, you want all the best things for your children. You want them to have a better life than you, even if you haveContinue reading “Heart and Soul”
