I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Aflac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. The scene: Spring 1996. Basement apartment. College student furnishings. CandyMan and I had just celebrated our first anniversary. I was finishing my senior year of college, getting ready to start my…

Spring is in the Air…Shoes, Exercise, Puzzles, and More
Spring is in the air and I’ve been busy this month, writing like crazy (yes, I have a life beyond this little blog!). Since I had so many articles published on other sites in April, I thought I’d post a short recap of each of my posts. PS – every time I get a new…
5 Tips for Fitting ME Time Into Your Busy Schedule
When I was a single college student, I was busy – juggling classes and homework and dating. A few years later, when I was a new mom busy with babies and dinner to cook and groceries to buy and a house to clean. Now, as a mom to older kids (and teens!) I have…
Birthday Party #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese turned 10 last month. We had to wait for a few weeks after her birthday to have her party, but it was worth the wait. Reese is at such a funny age – that in-between stage where she stops being a little girl and starts becoming a young woman. It’s kind of driving me…

The Breakfast Project – Fueling Dancing Feet and Piano Fingers
My family of seven goes through half a dozen gallons of milk each week. That’s a lot of bowls of cereal, smoothies, recipes, and afternoon or evening snacks. We could survive very long without milk (or should I say…we wouldn’t survive happily without milk). Between full bowls of cold cereal in the morning and tall…
Scott Brand & Box Tops for Education Surprises Local School with $25,000
My kids are trained well…when it comes to collecting Box Tops for Education, at least. We purchase enough cereals and snacks for lunches (and yogurt and Hanes underwear and canned veggies…) to make a sizable contribution to the elementary school across the street. My kids know to clip Box Tops off of any boxes or…
What Makes Your Home Your Sanctuary?
My friend, Rajean, sent me this heart (and hearth) warming story this week while I was dealing with hospitals and other family business. As much as I complain about my home being too small for 7 of us, there are so many things that I DO love about it. I just have to remind myself…
