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 [...]

Inaugurations Happen….Every Four Years
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 [...]

The thrill of opening my freezer
How many nights last week did your family sit down at the table and eat dinner together?
Ok, so we have all heard or read the studies - children who sit down and have dinner with their families, at least 5 times a week, are significantly less likely to get involved in drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking. Studies have [...]

Excuses, excuses – “I just don’t have time”
Yesterday…feedburner (the service that handles my blog subscriptions) mysteriously sent out an email saying that I had posted…which I hadn’t. When it was brought to my attention my first thought was – Is someone “hacking” into my blog and getting ready to send out some evil or ugly post to my subscribers which now number [...]

Living Life “Outside of the Box”
No I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth – we just arrived home from two weeks away. After running the program staff for a youth summer camp, we spent the following week enjoying our annual Lambdin family & friends camping trip to Lake Tahoe. I have lots to share with you all about our [...]

Making the most of the moment!
One of the things you become very aware of when living at the beach is that the weather changes swiftly and that it is never consistent from moment to moment or with what the weather reports say it will be.
You can wake up to a beautiful sunrise thinking “Oh it is going to be a beautiful sunny [...]

My bonus day
How did I spend my bonus day?
This morning I fixed a big breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon & coffee cake for my girls. (a real treat since I rarely cook breakfast – morning isn’t my best time of the day) Later in the afternoon I played the game of “Sorry” with my five year old. I [...]

What will you do with your bonus day?
Today is a “bonus” day!
Yes, that’s right every four years we are given a “bonus” day on February 29th! Every four years instead of 365 days, we get 366! Every four years we get a full extra 24 hours! Today is that extra day. What will you do today with your bonus day?
How about all those [...]

Family & Friends Friday – date night
It’s date night!
As I got up this morning and looked at the calendar – there it was – in bright bold red letters. Yes, tonight is dear darling hubby and my monthly date night and I can’t wait! In case you haven’t noticed, there have been less posts in the past few weeks. Not because I [...]

After this day
In honor of the bright, talented, goal setting, driven, intense, persuasive, strong willed, lovely, going to change the world #4 Lambdin lady – Rebekah – who is turning 12 years old tomorrow, I am posting an updated Monday Motivation that I wrote seven years ago shortly after her 5th birthday. It is very timely in my own life as I am currently saying [...]

Lesson plan for life
Can someone please tell me when the month of August ceased being summertime?
Isn’t August still a time for “floatin’ fools in the swimming pools”, mouthwatering backyard barbecues with friends, carnivals & state fairs, baseball games, enjoying ice coffee & conversation on the patio in the cool of the evening after a sweltering day. (Ok, ok…so I live in [...]

File under: What was I thinking?
What was I thinking??
Have you ever muttered those words or had them flash across your brain like a neon light? I have had a knack for doing a few not so brilliant things in my life where those words were not just said or thought by me, but by many others as well. A few examples (at [...]

Choosing the Best
It was one of those days….
….the “to do list” was overwhelming, the papers to shuffle were stacked so high they toppled over on the floor, there were emails & voice mails to answer and I had spent the day “running” – running errands, running to the store (and back – because it never fails in [...]
