Today I am going to stay away off my computer and enjoy my family. I’m going to play games (like Bananagrams, which is our current daily game), read my book (if you’ve ever considered reading Three Cups of Tea consider this your motivation to do it–it’s great!), and maybe even sneak out on a lunch…

Give Me Your Best Shot
I am a sucker for sunsets. Last night, I was cooking dinner and looked out my kitchen window to see this: When I was younger, orange skies spooked me. They looked like fire. Doom. They looked wrong. I remember one evening vividly. I was driving back from afternoon Chinese school with my best friend (who…
What Team Are You On?
No, I’m not talking about Team Edward or Team Jacob. I’m talking about Team Over or Team Under. As in toilet paper. I’m on Team Over, just in case you were wondering. Always have been. It drives me crazy when people put my toilet paper roll on backwards. You can head to https://www.cottonellerollpoll.com to see…
Missing Doug
A week ago I wrote a post about losing Doug. Doug is more than Twizzler’s favorite toy. Doug accompanies him to friend’s houses, he helps him do his homework after school each day, and he keeps him company in bed every night. Doug is still missing. Yesterday, Twizzler couldn’t sleep. He came to my room,…
Fears? Conquered! A WordFul Wednesday
Necco was born terrified of animals. It didn’t matter how small, cute, or gentle the animal was. She didn’t want to be anywhere near it.

There’s nothing quite like encouragement to build confidence, and examples from other talented individuals to build a store of ideas…
I’m Speaking at the CBC!
I am so excited I can hardly hold it in. So I decided I won’t hold it in any longer. I was invited (and said YES!) to speak at the Casual Bloggers Conference in Salt Lake City in May! I will be speaking with other fabulous women about social media as well as teaching my…
The World May Never Know….
What is the answer to that age-old question? How many licks DOES it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Have you ever tried to find out the answer? This weekend, I over-heard my teenage daughter talking on the phone with her friend. She said, in all seriousness, “I was…
How Wheat Works
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine. I love wheat. I have buckets and bags of whole wheat in my storage room and a wheat grinder in my kitchen. The year that CandyMan gave me the wheat grinder for Christmas, my friend said…
