Morning Greeting!
This morning, for the first time in over 20 years of getting up and walking out of my bedroom, I wasn't greeted with a signature meow and a friendly leg hug from our family kitty cat. The girls named her Rugrat back in the days when the popular cartoon was their...
Landing the Helicopter.
Do you know what a "helicopter mom" is? I hadn't heard the word until I went to hear a friend speak to a group of moms at a Mom2Mom meeting. A helicopter mom or dad is defined as a parent who goes ahead of their child and tries to remove all obstacles so that the...
Time To Call In The Professionals!
I'm so thankful for professionals. I don't have the patience for certain things like, let's say, carpet cleaning. That's why I'm so thankful for professional carpet cleaners. I don't have the patience nor the know-how for cooking for large amounts of people. That's...

Patchy Day!
My husband, our very own household meteorologist, looked at the radar on his phone, looked outside the window as he was mentally scheduling his to-do list for today. Farming is a hard business especially on days when you're not sure of the weather. Do we plant and...
