I lie in bed and I WISH. I WISH and I WISH and I WISH. I wish for easier mornings and less bills in the mail. I wish that the 4year old would stop WHINING so much and that the […]
It has taken me weeks to figure this out, my "intention" for the year. What I want my years focus to be about, not just in one area, but in everything I do. With my family, …
Tick, tick, tick . . . it's getting closer. The "NEW YEAR" the fresh start, the slate wiped clean. The line drawn in the sand what we use to reset our focus and realign our goals …
I feel like dancing and shout and celebrating. We made it. Barely. But we did. Winter solstice is here, which means, as of tomorrow, the days are getting longer and spring is just around the corner. It has …
I have been a little "blue" this holiday season. Not sure why. Well, that's not true, I do have a few reasons. Losing two matriarch's in our family has kind of put a haze over …

With iced up mornings and cold floors and a constant fire burning this week, I keep thinking back to last year at this time. Last year, our two weeks in St Lucia with kids (thanks to …
I am a worrier. Not about regular stuff like bills and the future and such, but about souls. chicken souls to be exact. I know that I do what I can to protect these little critters, but …
