I Pose A Question

Alright, listen up! I find that I need to come up with all of these blog posts and I have no idea whether you will like them or relegate them to the proverbial circular file (trash can for those of you too young to know of what I am speaking!) So, here’s your chance, myContinue reading “I Pose A Question”

Sharing Saturdays: Thieves Cleaner

Hello, blogging family! As you may or may not know, I am a brand partner for Young Living. I absolutely love the products! One that I have come to use in multiple ways is the thieves cleaner. Thieves cleaner is a wonderful substitute for those toxic cleaners most of us still have in our homes.Continue reading “Sharing Saturdays: Thieves Cleaner”

Great Dad Quotes

“This too shall pass” is something my dad often said to me, especially after another child had bullied me, or even after a tough day. I didn’t realize that it came from the Bible until recently. 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18. As a child, it was scarce comfort, but as I have aged (and grown upContinue reading “Great Dad Quotes”

Who’s Watching the Watchers?

Since May is Mental Health Month and I have been ruminating about this for a while, I just thought I would share something that is near and dear to me. I think we have a problem in this country (the US) with mental health care. Not just for adults, but especially for children. I haveContinue reading “Who’s Watching the Watchers?”

This lovely tradition continued into my own marriage when my lovely ex-husband hurled a crystal salt shaker at the oven and shattered theContinue reading “A Hard-Learned Lesson”

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!”

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”

Prayers for My Neighbors

Last night there was a flash of light in my living room window. We looked out to see the police chief and a deputy standing there. I went to greet them on the front porch. They wanted to know if I had called them. I said “No” and then they proceeded to tell me thatContinue reading “Prayers for My Neighbors”
