holiday blues
As I’ve spent the last couple days reading social media and blog posts about the ending of 2013 and 2014, I’ve struggled to come up with words for where I am. I’ll be honest (because you know I usually hold back) I HATE JANUARY – and...
2013 in review
2013 what a year this has been. 365 days ago I could never have told you what this year would hold. In 2013 I: Accepted a new job (technically 2) learned how to swim against the stream pushed myself through what I know now was some serious depression lost 40...
Best gift giver
Now that Christmas is over I can make it official. My sister gave the best gifts this year! The last couple year’s we’ve found it hard and hard to buy for each other. What we get we didn’t really “need” we put it on a...
Celebrating Advent
One of the things I love most about this time of year is the reminder of the “Why”? Christmas brings the hope, the reminder of life and the reconnection to who we really are at the core of our being. One of the ways that I get back to that place is...

I woke up yesterday morning determined to redeem myself. After the catastrophe that was my Friday experiment, I was determined to get it right. And after my pal Debbie posted her amazing cinnamon rolls yesterday I knew that was it. Going to bed on...
nostalgia goggles
so, last night while I watching (most) of the Sound of Music I was also checking Facebook. I’ll admit that I cant just “be”. That’s a different post for a different day. I uploaded pictures, edited them, shared them, posted...
Mexican Chicken Stew
For two weeks I’ve been wanting homemade soup. I was all ready last weekend and the lazy bug kicked in so it didn’t happen. But the almost blizzard conditions (remember I’m from TX) that blew in to Northwest Arkansas on Friday left me...
Day 14 – blissful
So, today’s topic for Day 14 is “describe the last moment you felt truly blissful”. I’ll admit it took me some time to think through this one. Which made me wonder about “bliss”. Is it something we can experience all...
halloween observations
So, I decided a couple things last night: -parents are a little too competitive when it comes to child costume contests -I will probably fall into the lazy mom category when it comes to costumes -sonic should have $.50 corn dogs more than one day a year -you can...
