Yesterday I woke up and got the kitchen play bug. I headed straight to the kitchen where I made two dozen banana muffins, one loaf of banana bread, two different batches of homemade fruit snacks, three dozen oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and white chili. We had our friend coming over and I wanted to make sure I had some goodies…
If you are like me Valentines Day is well, just another day! I have never been hip on the over commercial idea of ONE day… sakes spread it out to more than one day. Well, Valentines for my boys has never been a big deal since my thoughts are so minimal, and hubby’s are well – non existent! This year…
After a very trying weekend, my friend needed to spend some time with her hubby. So she dropped off her little people at my house. The arrived at 3’oclock and played. My friend’s girls are just a few months younger than my two oldest and they play spendidly. I will say that it always makes me laugh having girls in…

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22, 23
Heaven gained another angel today. Today my cousin kissed her baby boy’s cheek for the last time and she squeezed him the last time this side of heaven. Yesterday tragedy struck and her baby boy was rushed to ICU where doctors did their best but Heaven’s pull was stronger. This little angel would have celebrated two years of life here…
Today was MOPS and that meant that I got to sip hot tea out of my cup. This year instead of everyone making and wearing name tags our creative team came up with this idea. So for our very first MOPS meeting back in September we each got to pick a white mug out and then we spent our time…
After two months of excuses, some good, some not so much – I went back to the gym this morning. The last time I was at the gym was the last week of November. Between the passing of my grandma, the trip to Washington, hubby’s surgery, the holidays, new year’s resolution avoidance and the crud I managed to let two…
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.” – Emily Dickinson I have spent my morning thinking of things that give me hope. Things that bring hope. One thing that I was struck by today was the fact that our trees are alive and singing…
