20 Wonderful Years!
I‘m sitting in my office. It’s a beautiful morning, and the birds are singing and a cool breeze is floating into the room. I looked at the window and could see the dappled light filtering in and hitting the floor as little pieces of sun light sparkles on all the edges of the glass window…

Inspiration Saturday 06/27/15
via Summer is in full force here in sunny Southern California! Our June gloom is breaking up a little in the mornings and the sun has been nice and warm. Weather like this makes me want to go to the beach. Going to the beach makes me wish I had a little beach house! So,…

Throwback Thursday- When Emma Fit in Luggage
Today I’m remembering the day I saw Amanda, my middle daughter, walk outside with Emma in her backpack. I started laughing so hard I almost wet my pants. I had tears flowing from my eyes. I still have no idea what ever possessed the two of them to put Emma in the backpack in the…

Happy Birthday, Nora!
My favorite niece is turning 7 today! She is a fabulous girl with more personality than you could carry in two hands! She’s funny, smart, and very loving! My sister-in-law sent out a copy of Nora’s Birthday list. This is a must every year, because she writes it herself and it’s the best thing ever!…

Staying in the Game
This week has really been an exercise in staying in the game. We’ve had our house on the market for over 20 days. Three other houses on my street sold in less than two weeks each. On Wednesday, another neighbor told us they were now going on the market, and as it turns out they…

Throwback Thursday- Missing Teenagers
Today’s #TBT is a picture of my two oldest daughters from when they were teenagers. We were driving to Vegas to visit our family and in satisfying one of my dreams, we took a long time getting there. I wanted to stop at all those broken down places and take pictures just for fun. It…

Drinks and Snacks!
Over the last several years I’ve made comments to my family, especially my sisters, about the need for drinks and snacks. When we talk about traveling, I like to make sure we will have drinks and snacks. When we plan to be together for visits or events, I suggest drinks and snacks. The funny part…

Inspiration Saturday 06/06/15
Over the last four weeks I’ve written numerous entries on motherhood and parenting, but I can’t seem to complete a single one. I’ve been waiting to complete one so I can start blogging again. However, sometimes we have to put certain things on the shelf in order to move passed the place we are stuck…
