Cloth Diapers Rock!

Why? 1-Because they save money. 2-Because they keep the earth clean. 3-Because you can reuse them for multiple kids. 4-Because if you get the “one size” they can be worn from birth to 3+years! 5-Because they are cute and now come in adorable colors! 6-Because if you take good care of your diapers you couldContinue reading “Cloth Diapers Rock!”

Leader from Whose Perspective?

Right off the bat I know there are going to be many of you who are going to disagree with me…and that is OK.  This is just my opinion and I don’t expect everyone to feel the same way that I do.  That being said, in light of the recent news coming out of PennContinue reading “Leader from Whose Perspective?”

Are You Afraid of Dying?

I got a call Sunday that my grandma passed way.  Dealing with this type of phone call is difficult.  Initially I was shocked, but it wasn’t until later that I was flooded with all of her mEmoRies.  Moments like that hit you out of nowhere and it seems like no matter what you do, youContinue reading “Are You Afraid of Dying?”

A couple of weeks ago my husband had made the oBserVation on how I don’t put things away when I am done using them.  I responded the way I always do, “It’s because the kids probably distracted me when I was getting ready to clean up”.

{Happily Ever After}

One thing that does my soul good is living in a cLeAn HoUsE.  And although I do my best, there are just those days where my house is anything but!  In those times I remind myself of the quote by poet Wallace Stevens:  “The ImPerFecT is our PaRaDiSe.” The above picture is my version of “HappilyContinue reading “{Happily Ever After}”
