First of all, I would like to wish a Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to everyone! If I’ve learned anything as a mom it’s that the title “Mother” carries a very broad definition. There are many people out there who deserve recognition for being a loving care-taker who may have no traditional “children” to speak of. […]
Burning the Midnight Oil…
This youngest child of mine apparentlylives a very busy existence. I’m beginning to expect that he is sneaking out at night to frequent some swinging night club. Or perhaps he’s hitting open mic night at the local karaoke bar. Better yet, I would be willing to bet that he’s moonlighting as a go-go dancer. No […]
‘Tis the Season for Allergies
Raise your hand if your nose is red and swollen. Raise your hand if your eyes are itchy and blood-shot. Raise your hand if you have snot dripping out of yournoseat the most inopportune of times. (Actually, I can’t think of a real opportune time for dripping snot.) Raise your hand if you experience violent […]
A Very Wet Day…and my special “gift.”
We have been experiencing some very strange weather in these parts as of late. I’m actually quite concerned regarding the mental health of our local weather god, Mister Weather (appropriate name, no?). Something is very wrong. Very, verywrong. We go from a bright, sun-filled sky to monsoon-like winds to torrential downpours in mere minutes of […]
An Alternate Universe?
Today has been a day for the books. Today has been the kind of day where I raise my face to the heavens and cry, “Why!?!?!?” Today has been the kind of day where I realize that the fact hair remains follicly attached to my head must bedue to divine intervention. Today has been the […]
Meeting the Pioneer Woman, a.k.a. Coolest Chick Ever
I posted Monday morning that my sister Brandy, galpal Val (I know…clever, right?) and myself were hitting the road, our anticipation gaining with each mile under our wheels. Well, apparently, us and about 500 other people all had the same idea. To meet and greet with the Pioneer Woman at Powell’s Bookstore in Portland, OR. […]
Huge Thanks to my Hubby!!
In all the hubub of premiering my new website design I forgot to doone very important thing…apply my Monday pore-refining mask. No worries, I’ll do that tonight. Pore-refinement aside, Ialso realized thatI have neglected something else… a HUMONGOUS THANK YOU to my better half! My husband, Jer, is a very hard worker and certainly isn’t […]
Changes
Good morning, friends. You may have noticed that we’ve redecorated a bit. It’s progress, people. Albeit, one that will be taking some more work, but things are definitely moving. Finally. Have you ever heard the age-old adage, “The cobbler’s children have no shoes?” I can certainly relate with this bit of wisdom. I have been […]
A Message From Heaven
Have you ever noticed that if you listen hard enough the answers we are seeking are out there? Sure, they come in various forms. Sometimes they’re obvious and often they’re not so obvious but they are there all the same. On my journey towards a healthier self I’ve realized that I’ve got plenty of questions. […]
I’m Slowing Down a Bit
I’ve been blogging since July of 2009 and have covered an array of topics. When I began this journey I had thoughts pouring out of my overwrought mind. Every situation afforded a blogging opportunity and I ran with it. I felt inspired by my life, obligated to release the floodgates of thoughts building up in […]
