I had the honor of witnessing something powerful the other weekend that I just had to write about. At least a few sentences……. This is primarily a “lifestyle” blog featuring DIY home projects and recipes, but sometimes I feel the … Continue reading
It certainly wasn’t my intention….. the thought of being gone for 7 months is inconceivable! Yet it happened…… and here we are! So much has happened, and yet, nothing at all has happened! The only thing that is consistent is … Continue reading
If you look in the dictionary, you will find that the noun ‘hero’ is defined as a person who is admired for great or brave acts, or fine qualities. I know that we all have our own idea of whom … Continue reading
I hope you are having a good week! Even though it has been a “short” week, I am looking forward to the weekend that is just around the corner. Have I told you that Thursday might be my all time … Continue reading
Happy Mother’s Day to you all! Today I am giving a big shout out to my Mom, who is separated by distance but not far from my thoughts…… Mom, I am so blessed and thankful that God chose you as … Continue reading
Today my Great Uncle Frank is being remembered and honored for the wonderful man that he was. After 94 years he decided to leave our “physical” earth to scatter mischief in the bounties of Heaven. I honestly do not know … Continue reading
It is never easy to lose a loved one, whether it be a family member or dear friend. This past year I have been witness to way more visitations and funerals than I cared to attend. Friends grieving over parents … Continue reading
Today is your birthday and I am embarrassed to say that I couldn’t even get your card in the mail on time. {Sigh} I was stewing about it today when it dawned on me that I have the perfect avenue … Continue reading
After countless emails asking to see our newest addition, I thought I would do a quick post and let you all see our baby. All I can say is, it had been a long time coming! The boys had begged … Continue reading
You are going to thank me for bringing this Devil’s Food Cake Batter Dip to the table today! It is so yummy, I swear I could just eat it with a spoon…..no finger foods necessary! Hmmmm……maybe I shouldn’t admit that. … Continue reading
This morning I am moving B into his new home up in Toledo. I didn’t know how to mark this passage in time…just new I wanted to do something. I have no idea how I will even give it to … Continue reading
The longer I am pulled away from this blog, the harder I am finding it to sit down and write something meaningful. I don’t know why, but nothing feels right lately. There is so much on my mind and so much to say, but I just draw a blank when I sit down to type. I have numerous draft posts started and somehow can’t finish them…..basically scrapping them all! It’s not like I haven’t been doing anything! I have many recipes and projects to share, just can’t get my act together.
So much has happened this past quarter (I am a bean counter and everything is done in quarters!!), yet nothing has happened at all. My oldest has graduated from high school and is about ready to leave for college! We added a new addition to our household at the start of the summer! We have gone on a short vacation with an amazing family! I have started and finished a number of household projects! Others I have started… waiting to be finished. Yet when I sit down in front of the computer, I draw a blank on putting my thoughts and emotions onto ‘paper’.
All of this self-indulging talk today is for me to admit….it’s not you, it’s me! I know…..I know…..it sounds like a line from relationship breaking up! I swear it is not! I have received some amazing emails from all of you, either asking for help on a certain project, or just asking when I will be posting anything new! Keep them coming….I love emails, answering your questions, and helping you out! I promise this long distance relationship has been a drag for me, and I can’t wait to get my act together and get back at it. I miss all of you!! Until then, I am doing my best each day and trying to forget about the word balance because sometimes it just doesn’t exist. You totally agree with me, don’t ya??
I will talk to you all soon, but in the meantime….take care, and if you have any questions or comments, give me a shout out or email me. It might take a couple of days, but I do answer EVERYTHING!
I am not alone when I say my world stopped in its track Friday afternoon when I learned of the horrific news coming from Newtown, CT! Having 2 precious boys of my own, and both P and I working in … Continue reading
