I’ve got to admit….I was pretty excited to get an email for Heather letting me know that my turn had come to be the featured blogger on SITS. But on the same ticket, I was kind of terrified. What do I say? Am I ready? What do I wear?! (If you happen to not know…

Diane Birch–Bible Belt
I love music. Anybody who has spent any time at my house or in my car knows that I have music playing all the time. My kids (obviously) are also listening to this music. So it takes a special song to really catch their attention. The other night, the kids were in the bath, and…
Pros and Cons and Outside Opinions
What are your thoughts about me moving my reviews and giveaways back onto this blog? Is it a bad idea? Good idea? I’m having an urge to consolidate. Maybe you couldn’t care less. ;) I’ve been weighing the pros and cons, and I’m having a tough time deciding….I think I need to hear some feedback….
It’s Garage Sale Season
Back in the day this was how we got all of our furniture: It was also how I got our movies and the kids clothes, and even a Stanley Steemer Carpet Cleaner. Garage Sales. Heck, I even found our piano at a garage sale. Every Saturday morning starting in May, I would head out the…
Give Me Your Best Shot #17
This was the hardest week of the year so far for me to chose a favorite photo, simply because I have not been taking pictures of anything interesting. Believe me, you do not want to see any more photos of my basement or the condemned house next door. Yesterday afternoon, I walked to my backyard…
Big Changes in Store….Be on the Look-out!

It’s Sad That This Makes Me Happy
Towards the end of the day yesterday, I began hearing from the Health Department. They sent out an inspector around 4:30. He checked out the neighbor’s house, took pictures, and slapped these lovely signs on their front door. It’s really depressing to be living next door to this, but I am thrilled to see those…

I Heart Faces–Birthday & Pets!
I need a break from the stress and the hours of phone calls I’ve been making to settle this problem with our house (feel free to check out my last 3 posts to find out what’s been going on…) What better way to escape than by looking through photos of happy times?! This week’s I…
Bringing in the Media
So far, I’ve had zero response from the government agencies that were supposed to take black mold so seriously. Nothing. I called the Dept. of Health’s 24 hour crisis line this morning, told the operator my story and her response was: “So what do you want us to do?” That made my blood boil. It…
