January 26, 2021 – Learning from our mistakes.

The fact of the matter is that we all make mistakes. Even me; especially me. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t make them. I have an ‘eye’ for catching mistakes, whether that’s a curse or a gift, I’m not sure. And in this instance, I’m referring to spelling errors or when people add apostrophesContinue reading “January 26, 2021 – Learning from our mistakes.”

January 25, 2021 – Unexpected Parenting Challenges

I’ve been thinking a great deal about my children in recent days. How much my life has changed since I became a mother! I cannot imagine my life without them.

January 23, 2021 – Relationships

I realize I’m treading into some dangerous territory, but I feel compelled to talk about relationships today. There is no getting through this life without them. The moment our body leaves the comfort of our mother’s womb, we are introduced to other people and the opportunity for relationships. Our first relationship is generally with ourContinue reading “January 23, 2021 – Relationships”

January 21, 2021 – Microfiber Cloths to Maid Service

Today hasn’t been terribly productive. I didn’t do much aside from run to Wal-Mart for a grocery pickup and grab a pizza at Papa Murphy’s for dinner. Once I got home, I started cleaning all the glass and windows throughout the house. I did a bunch of research over the internet a few days agoContinue reading “January 21, 2021 – Microfiber Cloths to Maid Service”

January 9, 2021 – Second Chances

Aside from concerns about the direction my country is headed, today was actually a pretty good day. I got my blood draw at the lab knocked out right away, ate breakfast, put a grocery list together, and then headed out the door to run some errands. While I was out running errands, I thought aboutContinue reading “January 9, 2021 – Second Chances”

January 7, 2021 – Violence doesn’t solve anything.

I must first begin by saying how disappointed I am in the events that took place at our nation’s capital yesterday. I don’t like to talk politics. It’s one of those touchy subjects that often divide people. It’s the same reason I avoid discussing religion. But I have to tell you, to see our presidentContinue reading “January 7, 2021 – Violence doesn’t solve anything.”

There are so many things to learn about in this great big world! Don’t knowContinue reading “December 31, 2020 – Learning Something New”

December 22, 2020 – Redemption comes in many forms.

When I was eight years old, a new man entered my life. He came with the title of ‘stepdad’. I’ve shared a bit about our relationship in past posts, primarily in ‘One person can make all of the difference, Parts I and II’. His name was ‘Larry’ and he died at the age of 79,Continue reading “December 22, 2020 – Redemption comes in many forms.”

December 19, 2020 – Anything to save a buck.

I’m exhausted. Saving money takes hard work and today I had my work cut out for me. As promised, I put my grocery list together last night before I went to bed and I also went online and scheduled my grocery pickup(s). Sounds simple enough. But I think I can make anything complicated and IContinue reading “December 19, 2020 – Anything to save a buck.”

December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend

Need to get a solid night’s sleep for once? Would you like my recommendation? Two capsules of Melatonin, my friends. Two capsules and you’ll sleep like a spanked baby! Yes! I finally slept for a decent amount of time, 9 hours to be precise. It was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!! I’ve got a little more pep in myContinue reading “December 16, 2020 – Things People Recommend”
