On November 30th, 24 years ago, I became a mother for the second time. There’s no denying 24 is a strange time in ones life; I know it was for me. And although you don’t have two kids like I did (thank God) I’m guessing you’re finding yourself in this state as well. Trust me,Continue reading “Words of Wisdom for Dylan’s 24th Birthday”

November ALREADY, Kindle Unlimited, & Marie Kondo
I cant believe we are already into November! It was just the other day I was writing about Back to Basics – Holy crap, it took me THAT long to actually get started! The year is almost OVER! Anyway, in my long overdue journey of clearing out the crap I stumbled upon the cutest littleContinue reading “November ALREADY, Kindle Unlimited, & Marie Kondo”
30 Days of Thankful – and why I almost didn’t do it.
Every November since 2012 I’ve done this 30 Days of Thankful thing. It first started as a fb “challenge” from a friend and it quickly became one of my favorite things to do. One I usually look forward to all year long. This year, for some reason, I just didn’t want to do it. It’sContinue reading “30 Days of Thankful – and why I almost didn’t do it.”
August and September Books because I just cant seem to figure out how to cancel Kindle Unlimited.
It appears I have a Kindle Unlimited account I just cannot seem to cancel (yes, I’ve tried – numerous times). For some reason, it just wont seem to go away. So I decided to actually USE it (crazy, I know). In my quest to use this application I have, apparently, been paying for since 2016Continue reading “August and September Books because I just cant seem to figure out how to cancel Kindle Unlimited.”
Being Stuck….
I saw this picture on Pinterest of a person stuck in a jar. The quote read “I feel like I am stuck in a glass jar. I can see what I want or need to do, yet I cannot reach it.” Holy crap! After months of trying to describe how I am feeling THIS randomContinue reading “Being Stuck….”
Words of Wisdom as Klari begins her 3rd Yr as a Longhorn!
My klari left to begin her junior year in college the other day. As you can see by my “other day” comment she left with no fanfare, no major production, no one even shed a tear – not even me. She just packed up her car and left while I was at work with aContinue reading “Words of Wisdom as Klari begins her 3rd Yr as a Longhorn!”
Four Years – 2017
Still can’t believe it’s been four years. So much has changed in that short span of time… marriages, divorces, babies, graduations…. life has continued even though there were days we didn’t think we could make it another minute, let alone another day.. With so many changes a lot remains the same. I continue to beContinue reading “Four Years – 2017”
My July Books
I have this thing about reading multiple books at a time. I have one for when I want to get away, one that’s good for me, one that’s just for fun, and one to teach me something.
Friends are like a Rubik’s Cube…
I read somewhere that friends were like a Rubik’s Cube. The quote said something to the effect of; “Sometimes all your squares line up and sometimes they just don’t!” I loved this analogy as I can completely relate to it; especially when I think of these two amazing women.. There are so many different “squares”Continue reading “Friends are like a Rubik’s Cube…”
She’s a Girl!
(original post from 2016) My daughter took her car to a sleep over for the very first time. A part of me was pretty pleased to have reached this milestone; I didn’t have to get out of my comfy bed to drop her off, and even better, I didn’t have to get up early toContinue reading “She’s a Girl!”
