Since I woke up sick this morning (yes, sick on Mother’s Day!), I am taking the easy route and re-posting some of my favorite quotes about Mothers. I couldn’t let this day go by without expressing my love and appreciation for my own mother. She is the best! The sweetest sounds to mortals given Are…

Feeling Empowered
I just returned from a half-day women’s conference at my church. I love what conferences can do to fill my bucket, to give me the boost that I need to keep pressing on. The first class I attended was entitled “Finding a Healthy Life Balance,” taught by a local couples and family therapist. What a…
Yesterday. Give Me Your Best Shot
It seems like yesterday that she was babysitting my kids. But it wasn’t. Yesterday, I was taking her graduation photos. Wait. No, yesterday, I was taking her engagement pictures.

NieNie’s Story
Have you heard of Nie Nie? I would imagine that most people who spend any time blogging have come across her site, NieNie Dialogues, or her button, or her story. Stephanie and I share a little something. I have not met her nor have I been in an accident like she has. But I am…

Bloggography Challenge – Focus
Two weeks ago, we featured photos from users who took the challenge to use their current lenses to do what they do best, whether that was macro or landscape or action. I loved the variety that we had from last week’s participants. Here is one of the photos that stood out to me, from The…
Mental Health Day (Again?!)
Would you believe that Reese was too sick to go to school this morning? Neither would I…. Here’s what we’ve been up to today: This weekend was a Mental Health weekend for CandyMan and me. We relaxed, we ate out, we slept in, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sometimes kids need breaks, too. PS–we found…
How to Find Your Happy Place
I started this post off with the intention of writing a witty Not Me! Monday post with MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. I had ideas for writing about how I had not missed my kids while they spent the…
Empowerment a la Fishful Thinking
It’s a new month (how in the world is it already May?!) and it’s time for a new Fishful Thinking focus for the month. This month’s focus is Empowerment.
