Today is the day! Yes, my birthday:) (and on a Monday….woohoo!!) I think I have referred to this year’s birthday more in my last few posts than I ever have on this blog. Not sure why that might be…nevertheless, I’m feeling excited, hope-filled, and blessed. Abundantly blessed! Come back for tomorrow’s Tuesday post for a… Read More Good Monday Morning: 4.26.21
Leslie has a monthly link-up – Ten on the 10th – and this month is ten questions all about money. Much like politics, you either enjoy the subject. Or, you don’t. But I enjoyed these questions – they brought back some good memories for me – and I’m looking forward to linking up. Leslie has… Read More A Little (Fun) Talk About Money
Happy Tuesday! And it is a glorious one here on the East Coast! Spring has arrived (dare I think that it will stay…without one final blast from winter!?) Without going there, I’m going to enjoy this day – and this week – to the fullest! Spring is such a poignant and wonderful reminder of God’s… Read More Ten Things I Love About Spring
National Chili Day. Well, of course, there is a national day for chili and chili lovers. And it is this week. On the 25th, to be exact. I’ve noticed that folks tend to be very particular about their chili. What kind of beans should be added. Or should there even be beans? How spicy is… Read More A Recipe – Just in Time for National Chili Day
Welcome to the week of chocolate, hearts, flowers, chocolate and..well, more chocolate! It seems like Valentine’s Day creates strong opinions….either you really enjoy it and embrace all the fun. Or you totally don’t. I have so many fun memories of celebrating Valentine’s Day with my kiddos when they were little. We started the day with… Read More A Valentine Tag Revisited
Happy New Year, friends! Thank you, so much, for all those who have commented and reached out to me since my last post…and my explanation for a short break! How encouraging this little space can be! I find myself wanting to return here, to blog, and to connect – but have to remind myself (often)… Read More Happy New Year
My friend, Leslie, has invited (and encouraged) us to share ten Christmas traditions. Sounds simple but ten is actually a lot. But, on Instagram, she encouraged us to give it “the old college try” and so I will:) Traditions around here have changed and some have evolved or others have been modified. That used to… Read More Christmas Traditions – Then and Now
It seems I just wrote November’s “Currently” post – which ended up being what I affectionately called the “my husband fell and busted his knee” edition of Currently. How can we already be (just about) a month out from that quick fall that abruptly changed our plans, our routines and, it feels like, just about… Read More Currently: December 2020
This October has been one of ups and downs. Not only in the temperatures (one day true fall and the next it feels like spring!) but also in my mood and my motivation. Including my motivation for posting. Sigh. No need for specifics, but October has been a struggle…and the struggle has been real! This… Read More Fall Comfort Food: Chowder and Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Well, hello Fall! You’ve been teasing us for days not but now it’s official. The first day of fall 🙂 And, apparently, time to think about your fall bucket list. Assuming, of course, you have a fall bucket list. I typically do not. I think it is this empty-nest season and the bucket list items… Read More A Bucket List: Fall 2020
