A few Saturdays ago, I had the house to myself. The peace and quiet was a welcome change. I had all kinds of ideas for it – maybe a Netflix binge, a new novel, a nap, some sewing? Suddenly, I was overwhelmed. I ended up working instead. It just somehow seemed easier. I don’t remember […]
I can’t believe it. My grandson turns 1 in 5 days. Where has the past year gone? It has flown by but it has been amazing. He has such a fun personality and every day is made better because he’s here. I absolutely cannot wait to see what the future holds for him! The other […]

Yikes. This is the last week of August. How did summer fly by so fast? We have spent most of August with not so summery weather but this week is making up for it. It’s hot and humid! I guess August decided to go out with a bang. Are you ready for fall? I’m of […]
It’s not always easy to get your family to help more around the house. My stance is, you live in a house. It’s your responsibility to help keep it clean.
