This video makes me smile. I am thankful for so many things. But mostly I am thankful for a strong family, good friends, and faith in God. Those are the things that last. Those are the things that can’t be taken away by tough times. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day.

1-2-3 Bypass
Last night, I came up to my bedroom to head to bed and found CandyMan at my computer, watching silly old videos of the kids when they were small. What memories these videos brought back! And how much my kids have changed. In this short clip, KitKat was 7, Necco was 4 1/2 (the same…
Thanks. And Giving.
I have spent much of the last few months feeling stressed. I got to the point last month where I felt like I had been dished all I could take. I was done with the stress and anxiety. As I’m sure most of you would agree, it’s tough to see blessings through the cloud of…

When the box containing my new Cuisinart’s Rice-Plus™ Multi-Cooker arrived at our house, we were in the middle of dinner.

I just found a new-to-me meme on Show My Face called Six Word Saturday. Call Me Cate asks readers to describe their life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. Here are my six words for today: Google doesn’t like my new domain. Am I ever going to see the benefits of my…
The Torturer
Unprompted commentary from my 4 year old son while he was brushing his teeth for bed tonight: “Mom, I used to be in your stomach. I was like a big egg. I was a big, huge torturer in your stomach. I was a torturer. And you were fat. And I kicked you in your tummy.”…
Give Me Your Best Shot – My Wolf
Wednesday is often my favorite day of the week because Wednesday is cub scouts night. I adore being the den leader. Usually. Yes, 8 year old boys can be a challenge. 8 year old boys can be noisy and fidgety. And, yes, it is really tough to manage noisy, fidgety, energetic, enthusiastic 8 year old…
Real Important Stuff
When MamaKat suggested sharing a journal entry from when I was 13, I knew that would be the writer’s prompt that I’d pick. I was an obsessive journal writer when I was a teenager, which is a fabulous thing. I am so glad I kept a journal. The only problem? I wrote about the same…
