Inconvenient Freedom
INCONVENIENCE: noun - trouble or difficulty caused to one's personal requirements or comfort. Have you experienced any "inconvenience" over the last several months? It seems like during this pandemic, we are now living every day in an inconvenient state. I can't go...
Breathing in Crisp Joy!
Sometimes the need to CONTROL your daily life takes away the JOY of everyday life. I watched a Christmas movie last night where the main female character played a super organized person. She had routines for everything including morning coffee, healthy breakfast,...
Easter Egg Hunt of a Different Kind.
Yellow. Blue. Green. Orange. Plastic. Hard-boiled. Shaped like characters. Big. Little. Round. Oval. Easter eggs. I love a good Easter egg hunt. I love coloring eggs and then filling plastic eggs with a dime or a nickel or a piece of candy. But I always have one...

Where’s Bronco?
Elf on the Shelf is such a popular tradition with children these days. The tradition as we know it now wasn't around when my girls were little (or if it was I didn't know about it). I have wanted to do it for a few years but obviously I don't have little kids...
Home Sweet Home
I love being a mom. I am so thankful God blessed me with two beautiful daughters. We are so proud of both of them. They obviously don't live at our house full time anymore but their rooms are still their rooms and this house is still their home. When they come...
