I was walking down the aisles of my grocery store today just minding my own business. My thoughts were on the next errands I had to run, trying to estimate the time it would take for each and determine if I would be able to complete them before my 1:00 p.m. appointment. As I pushedContinue reading “This Incredible Thing Called Peace”

Valentine’s Day Handprint Crafts
Maybe it’s the first grade teacher in me, or maybe it is just simply the Mommy in me trying to bottle every minute of my kids being LiTtLe, but I am hooked on handprint crafts! When my son was born I made about 20 handprint turkeys for Thanksgiving and sent them out to family andContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Handprint Crafts”
Are You Generous?
This year I am trying to put more focus on ways that I can be GeneRouS. If this is an area that you struggle with, the holidays offer plenty of opportunities to GiVe. Offer to help an elderly neighbor with their holiday shopping. Buy a giftcard and give it to a stranger. Have a loveContinue reading “Are You Generous?”
Gift Giving
Believe it or not, this is one that I sTruggLe with. Birthdays, surgeries, baby arrivals and house warming gifts are just some of the few events that leave me defeated due to lack of creative ideas and planning ahead for special moments.

{Get A Head Start On The Holidays}
For the past few years I have scrambled to get my ChRiStMaS cards out before DeCeMeBeR 24th. My problem wasn’t that I had the cards sitting around the house and just didn’t get around to it, but rather it was racing to get pictures taken and then have the cards made. Last year I only received my cards 2-3 days before Christmas. Continue reading “{Get A Head Start On The Holidays}”

Christmas Card Display
I was SeArChiNg the internet and local stores for something to display my ChRiStMaS cArDs. I have a little basket for most of the cards, but I wanted something that I could use to display the picture cards that FriEnDs and FaMiLy send of their kids. Everything I came across was either too small orContinue reading “Christmas Card Display”
Email Me
I recently I spoke with a friend who was hurt about not being included in a DeCisiOn that the rest of her family made without her. The situation could have been avoided by simply picking up the phone or sending a quick email. Instead, everyone got busy with life, assumed that she would be okayContinue reading “Email Me”
