Okay, so maybe not really, but today we went to a travel trailer sale and as we were walking through each of the trailers I had a nagging thought… “What if we sold everything and just lived in a trailer?” I started following a blogger recently who is doing just that. She and her family sold everything and bought an…
Insurance sure can be a headache! Each year I have to go through the re-qualification and each year I spend hours on the phone, my counters resemble something out of a law office prepping for a case. Thankfully tonight hubby got home and was able to take over on the phone. When he walked in the door he must have…

I have a vision of shadow boxes being placed over my dinning room table housing a linen background and the silverware. Being that some of this silverware is from the mid eighteen hundreds they were rather tarnished. I searched… Pinterest, where else!?! …
My mornings have not been what they should be… I was at one point faithfully waking up at five and going to the gym working out for an hour and then coming home taking a shower having my quiet time and then getting breakfasts made. The last two weeks that just has not been happening. My getting up and out…
When we moved into our house the back yard was a mess. It had been abandoned for who knows how long! There were a few mosquito breeding zones, lots of “natural” greenery and a ton of glass (long story!). Last year I can say that I hated our back yard. I didn’t even want to be out there, it made…
You know those times in life where you feel like you are racing from one thing to another? Almost skipping over the meat of life? Kind of how I am feeling lately. I feel like I am trying to get to the next “thing” and I am forgetting the magic of the daily events. One of the reason that I…
