Honey.  There is no denying it…I really (really!) enjoy honey.  I also have been working hard to get back to a sugar-free diet since the beginning of the month.  Truthfully, I do not miss much.  Do not even really miss cookies…or other after-dinner treats like I thought I might.  But, honey.  I am not going… Read More Of Elephants, Bees and Honey

I recently printed off a picture to hang on the chalkboard in my kitchen.  It says:  Sorry for the things I said in winter.  Sigh….but such a true reflection of my bad attitude.  I am trying to maintain my resolve to not simply endure winter but, perhaps, even “make friends” with winter.  I knew it… Read More The Struggle is Real

Resolutions.  Just the word can make many of us cringe.  And, for others, there is plenty of eye-rolling and even disgust.  Not exactly sure why the idea of “making resolutions” evokes such emotion but, according to my highly technical and scientifically accurate research (of asking random friends and family), many of us have super strong… Read More Why I Make Resolutions

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  And feel like it (with the joy of having my family together).  And taste like it, too!  And I suppose it should with only a week to go!  Although not completely intentional, there seems to be a bit of a “blog break” around here since Jordan arrived… Read More A Little Christmas Cheer

“Dear Pumpkin.  I’m just not sure things are going to work out.  Maybe it is time for us to take a break…” Wait. What?  That hurts to even write.  Sure, I’m not a member of the “PSL” club – pumpkin and coffee really do not go together – but I have always loved pumpkin goodies. … Read More In Search of a Recipe – Or Two

Well, just like that I missed the boat of successfully blogging for an entire week.  While not exactly joining the IG Hopewriters Challenge (a bit of a challenge in itself since I don’t have an Instagram), I was hoping to use the daily prompts and put my thoughts together for five straight days.  I made… Read More September Writing Challenge: INTENTION and EXPLORE
