Ok, so we don’t “do” Halloween…
Now before you get all stressed out that I am depriving my kids of fun (or candy) I am just a “stick in the mud” or that I am somehow condemning or judging those who do choose to observe Halloween…take a deep breath & RELAX.
I really have no opinion [...]
I so wish that I could have been in Washington DC for the 9/12 March yesterday. In fact just last Sunday I was looking at airline tickets and trying to figure out a way to come up with the money to fly out there. In case you are unaware of what the 9/12 March was…let [...]
September 11, 2001
I was actually in the Washington DC area on a business trip on that fateful day in American history, along with my then seven year old daughter, Kristen. (she is now 15!) We were getting ready to fly home on that very same morning those planes were flown into the twin towers.
Here is an [...]
I grew up in a family who ate dinner together….
at the table…
with the TV turned OFF…
every night…
at 6pm.
My Mom and Dad raised four children who were active, healthy, drug, alcohol & tobacco free, high academic achievers, student leaders with solid moral standards and a strong Christian faith. Now while I don’t think that eating dinner together regularly [...]
This past Sunday was a very special day.
We dedicated our dear Christiana to the Lord during the Sunday morning service at our church. As our entire family stood along with our pastor and his wife before our church family and dedicated this newest blessing back to the God who gave her to us I was [...]
To say that I don’t have time right now is like saying that Bill Gates just has a little extra “walking around money”. Yes that would be an understatement.
Besides the regular routine of mothering, homeschooling, household management, my home based business and my “part time” job (yada yada)… I am working ’round the clock on the [...]
Lately I have been coming in contact with more and more people who seem to have a common philosophy on life - the general theme is that they have “no regrets” in life about anything. It often seems to come across with a bit of pomp and arrogance that says even though they have not lived a “perfect” life or [...]
Ok….so I am watching the Superbowl.
But not because I am a “die hard” football fan, although I do like the sport more than many women I know. Not because I particularly care about either team, I will always be a San Diego Charger fan (due in part to having lived there two different times for [...]
January is National Right to Life Month.
If you have read much of my blog or have known me for longer than 24 hours you most likely are well aware that one of my passions is LIFE! I believe that all human life is a precious gift from God to be more highly valued than riches, possessions, personal pleasure [...]
Four years…will fly by!
How do I know? Well after dragging my kids out of bed last Tuesday to watch the historic inauguration of our first black president (which we would have watched the inauguration events no matter who was being sworn in – to me it is patriotic!), I began to reminisce on past inaugurations.
Just [...]
It’s the first Monday of January and from what I can surmise from the facebook statuses I have been looking over – many mothers are rejoicing that their children are back in school today after a two week break for the Christmas holiday. The comments are filled with smiley faces and interjections like – yay! yippee! [...]
My second daughter – Amy Girl – is turning sweet sixteen today. I remember the day of her birth vividly. In fact, of all my seven deliveries (2 c-sections & 5 vbacs)….Amy’s was one of the easiest.
But as I remember the events surrounding her birth I have to laugh at myself. I have certainly mellowed out a [...]
Ok….so I have to do a follow up to my blog earlier this week – with several suggestions on ways to cut back to survive the looming economic crisis. (which by the way if you haven’t been following the comments – there are some great additional suggestions posted – read them here)
While all these cost cutting [...]
Finally something in the news that I have expertise in.
I am an expert on the subject of economic crisis….no really, I am! I mean after all I have lived most of my adult life (except for a few short “glory years” of phenomenal success with my home based business) in a state of economic crisis. [...]
WARNING! If political debates or “hot topic” issues cause your blood pressure to rise, get you depressed or incite you to start cursing at your computer screen – you may want to skip reading this post today. Read on at your own risk.
Ok….so I am a one issue voter. Whether you agree with me and are saying “Amen, [...]
