Sharing Saturday: Peace & Calming Essential Oil

Doesn’t everyone need a little more peace and calming in their day? I know I do! What with our house having showings (to hopefully sell quickly – prayers!) and the school year ending (so tests!) and everything else that I have on my plate right now I know I need to put a little peaceContinue reading “Sharing Saturday: Peace & Calming Essential Oil”

A Rainbow Promise & Chocolate Sauce

The other day we had a pretty strong storm here in Wisconsin. However, when the clouds moved East, the sun shined in the West and a beautiful rainbow appeared. It reminded me of that very first rainbow and the promise that went along with it. God has not abandoned us, even though the mortgage companyContinue reading “A Rainbow Promise & Chocolate Sauce”

Good News!

I was able to sell my house! Yay! What a relief! I contacted a couple of companies who buy homes to fix up and flip. The first one was a bust, but the second gentleman bought the house! So, we have about a month of crazy, frantic packing, etc. and then we will bid ourContinue reading “Good News!”

An Update

Ah, my friends it has been too long! I just wanted to update you on why it has been so long! As you may or may not know, I broke three toes on my right foot about 2.5 weeks ago. Yeah, I’m THAT graceful! I tripped, went down and when I was finally able toContinue reading “An Update”

A Stumble and a Break

Ah, clumsiness, my old friend. What did she do now? Oh, just broke my foot! I’m nothing if not an overachiever! And yes, since I never broke a bone as a child or even young adult, I’m making up for lost time! As a child my parents had a special addendum added to their insuranceContinue reading “A Stumble and a Break”

Are You a Library Lover?

Happy Library Lover’s Day! Well, technically it’s not until Monday (along with St. Valentine’s Day,) but since I don’t blog on Mondays, I figured that you could get a quick start on some of my favorite books/authors. First, I would like to list a little known, newer author. She came to speak at a localContinue reading “Are You a Library Lover?”

Drive Safely!

Just wanted to take this chance to wish you all a happy new year! Also, to remind you to drive safely. Child #2 and I took a trip over to the big town about 35 minutes from home today and were appalled at the people running red lights, riding down the lane-separating lines, and havingContinue reading “Drive Safely!”

I Had to Laugh

I will say that there is an awful lot out there of which to make fun when it comes to people’s driving habits. I generally keep up a running commentary while in the car. Today had to be the best, though. Child #2 and I were grocery shopping a few towns over. We were inContinue reading “I Had to Laugh”

Tough Times

First, I want to apologize for forgetting to post last night. I was actually clearing off some things from my bed when I tripped and fell. I ended up smacking my ribs, knees, and right wrist pretty badly. I’m in quite a bit of pain now, hence writing to you slipped my mind. I willContinue reading “Tough Times”

Thankful…Not Thankful

Just a few days ago I purchased this adorable bird. I find this kind of decoration adorable. Imagine my surprise when it rang up at 75 percent off! Um…pardon me? We are less than a week past Halloween, and nowhere near to Thanksgiving, but this clearly Thanksgiving-ish decoration is 75 percent off? What gives? Now,Continue reading “Thankful…Not Thankful”
