ways to reset the day
It’s my favorite month of the year! I hear it’s National Pumpkin Spice Day today – I suppose it is, so I’m here for it! I checked my coffee gift card and I had just enough with a few cents to spare, so I went for the iced pumpkin spice and got a few (four)…

organize it and simplify it
Hello! It’s open window season! Some days anyway…the cooler days are starting to appear more frequently and it makes me so excited! I love to open windows in a room I am working in, whether it be the kitchen or our front room. Our front room has served many different purposes over the years, and…

Hey! It’s birthday time! I always enjoy my birthday time because it means fall is right here!

not on my own
Summer days! They look like rec center pool in the mornings, naps (I hope) in the afternoon for the youngest while the big girls often have hot chocolate and watch a hallmark mystery movie in the afternoons. Maybe a little sewing for me… We always have a few mundane chores like laundry folding or sweeping.…

slow to speak
They say “the strongest man you know is a first born daughter.” I laugh! Are any of you a first-born girl? I am raising my hand! I am that girl! As the oldest, I loved babysitting my three younger siblings. The thrill of running the show was real. I always had the answers…so I thought!…

comparison is a thief
Do you remember 6th grade? Yeah, me too! I had six teeth pulled at the same time, leaving big gaps in my smile, greasy bangs, and felt super awkward! I don’t know anyone who would voluntarily repeat the sixth grade! I have one girl moving on from sixth grade and another one moving into sixth…

magnificent margin
Hey there! We’ve had a week doing fun, ordinary, and still un-ordinary activities while Dad’s away. We even made a peach cobbler. This doesn’t happen everyday, so it’s a special treat! It took a really long time and involved people wandering away into other rooms, losing interest, and having to be reeled back in. By…
