My sister made this for me, it makes me smile This week, I met someone who lectured me for a half hour. The topic had nothing to do with me, rather her fears and that I should be fearful too. I don't want to go into details but it left me with a depressed feeling that typically …
So I've been using this Do It Tomorrow app on and off for about a year. What it comes down to is a basic to-do list. It's not my daily to-do list, that's handwritten however I use it as a list of things I would like to get accomplished at some point. I use it as a reminder.…
Have you given up your new year's resolution yet? This is the first year I developed a complicated New Year's Resolution. I plan to finish my book and start another, to create a website, have a regular etsy product line and declutter, organize and streamline my home. It'…
Nearing the end of the holiday season usually means last minute shopping, baking, and celebrating. Then, around the corner, is the New Year. In the back of my mind, my new year's resolutions are forming, like a de-cluttered house, a larger inventory and my very own website. Proc…

This is another post from a blog I'm consolidating to one blog stream..... Our house has been doing a cookie exchange long before it was popular. We've done it in huge groups of nearly a hundred and small groups of under 10. I thought I'd share some tips. Check to see if…

Again, I'm working to consolidate my blogs: this one comes from the summer but thought it would be appropriate during the holiday season where car travel is prevalent. This summer we have taken a few long road trips and we have a couple of more coming up. Keeping the kids at p…
"The Walking Heat Pack?" my daughter gave me a funny look, "That sounds like The Walking Dead. Are you trying to sell it to zombies?" "No, I was thinking it explains the heat pack better," I said, "but now that you mention it, that's a great idea!…
“OK, ladies, we need to pick a volunteer program for the year,” I said to the Girl Scout troop. I heard a sigh. “What?” I asked, “Is there a problem? Not only is this a good thing to do, it looks good on your college application.” “Yeah, we know,” one girl spoke up, “but, I don’t re…
I've decided to consolidate my blogs and bring my old blogs to this one. So Thurs/Fri blogs will be my oldies but still relevant blogs. This article I wrote an year ago and it fits in with my 7 ways to Distract a Digital game obsessed kid that I wrote earlier this week. …
