Little Things

I never cease to be amazed at how something seemingly insignificant can make me feel so good. Something like scrubbing my sink ’til it shines. I did this yesterday, broke out the baking soda and scrub brush. It’s all pretty now. If you haven’t done this, I highly recommend it, you’ll [...]

I only have one more week to go in my Curves experience. I can’t believe it is almost over. Hang on, this is where I question my every action and doubt that I did enough….a little longer….almost done….ok, now we can move on.
I am pleased with the results that I am actually seeing. [...]

Little Funnies From My Lovelies

I realized that I haven’t had much humor lately, aside from the Friday Funnies, of course. And as “luck” would have it, my kiddos had two that were funny enough to share recently.
First up is my son The Little Man, he’s four. He was following behind me because he needed his shoe tied. [...]

Welcome, one and all! In this ring, we have the Amazing, Reality Defying plan to Free My Hubby. So, after a series of jobs that are good, but not-quite-satisfying, I have decided to Get My Husband Free From the World of Bosses. Go ahead, pat me on the back, give me a [...]

Funny For You

And, presenting, the latest edition of the Friday Funnies!
This one literally made me laugh out loud:
We were at my general surgeon’s office one day in the waiting room. There were two other older ladies looking at magazines & waiting to see the doctor as well.
Well, we are all sitting looking at magazines & it’s [...]

I hope you will join me in praying for this family.  [...]

Losering Thoughts

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just witnessed the coining of a new word. Losering is the act of becoming a loser. Ok, my lovelies, let’s get down to business.
This is the fourth week in my Curves experience. I must say, I have enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. [...]

Connecting With My Children

One of my parenting goals is to establish a solid foundation with my kids.  Trust, honesty and respect, the whole shebang.  As bad as it sounds, connecting with my kids has been hard at times.
I love my children, but there seemed to be something missing in our relationship at times.  I often wondered why.  Finally [...]

Silly Shorts

Today’s episode of the Friday Funnies is a collection of shorts.
Rae Lynn Glispin of Kidz Comfort sent the following funny:
One evening, we were all sitting in our family room enjoying a nice evening together when, out of the blue our 3-year old son, Noah, said that he didn’t want to grow up and be big [...]

Happiness in a Post

Things that made me happy this week:

My third niece finally made her way into this world. Go Miss B!
I played at the park with my kids and hubby today.
Looking through the pictures my kids took with the camera while I wasn’t looking.
Stealing time with my husband.
I found some kids I used to baby-sit for [...]
