Now don't get me wrong, I love my mother - she's an important part of my life. I just would prefer not to pick up some of her quirky habits that I have always thought were ridiculous. Just how do you prevent yourself from becoming that which you always thought was … [Read more...]

“Breathe in. Breathe out. And for goodness sakes, don’t freak out!” That’s what you say to your husband seconds before his teenage daughter walks into the room in her long sought after prom dress. Then you stand behind him and prepare to catch (or be flattened) if he faints when he sees his “little girl” looking like a young woman.It really messes with your head when you see your cowgirl, blue jean and flannel shirt daughter who can usually be … [Read more...]
TV Family Movie Night is Back
OK friends, this Friday may just be the “re-start” of something great! Years ago Friday nights used to be “Family Movie Night” on network television. However, as we can all attest to, settling down with your family in front of the TV these days requires speed and accuracy with the remote. You know what I’m talking about, all of us have become professionals in our ability to mute and even push the off button in the blink of an eye!The jury is out, … [Read more...]
Thankful For Shoes
So, if you read yesterday's post, I'm hoping at some point today you have gone barefoot in honor of the millions of children around the world who have no shoes!As I was "suiting up" for my morning walk, I was suddenly aware that I needed to take that three mile walk with my shoes off. I am bummed to report that my normal walking route was interrupted and I turned around at about the halfway mark because my feet were hurting. … [Read more...]

(See my last post!)Our family just returned from a funeral...that's another reason why I have been silent for a bit.

Thankful For American Soldiers
I have always had a "soft spot" for soldiers. I am in such awe that they would choose to use their lives to provide freedom and justice for others...even strangers in far away lands. For those of you with children...think about your child "choosing" to use his (her) life to defend others. Yes, a part of me would feel very proud - but a bigger part of me would be afraid. I think motherhood is what has caused my admiration … [Read more...]
