You should see me now….on second thought I guess not. Very scary. Very scary indeed. I got a good look at myself this morning as I stumbled into the bathroom and glanced in the mirror. AAAaaaaa! I even scared myself. How in the world can I go to bed with my hair all brushed out [...]

Cold Days And An Even Colder Kitchen Floor
My feet are freezing. I had to go get my pink fuzzy slippers. I’m currently at “my post”. The desk that is in the kitchen….so I can keep a watchful eye on my home school kiddos and type my daily blog at the same time:)
My kitchen floor is pretty to look at…it is stone tile. [...]

It’s Purely Arbonne
I have a new career. Yes, you heard me. After 17 years of teaching, now a home schooling mom, I’ve decided to take on network marketing as a consultant for Arbonne. Arbonne is a company that produces the most awesome color, skincare, weight loss and aromatherapy. It is formulated in Switzerland but made here [...]

Deer, Oh Deer, Oh Deer!!
Another weekend spent in Ohio. We were getting Scott’s “mini” apartment cleaned and ready for him to move into. I scrubbed and scrubbed with Clorox, Murphy’s Oil Soap, and various bathroom cleaners….and probably killed a few brain cells due to the fumes….but it was for a good cause!! MY IDEA of clean and the lady’s [...]

Autism Training Video–No It’s Not At Your Local Blockbuster
As many of you know Jessica’s son, Kade, was diagnosed with autism this past summer. He was 4 years old at the time. I don’t think she will mind me saying that, as she is interested in getting the word out about autism like so many other parents of autistic children. With that said, [...]

Death of a Young Star
Yesterday Heath Ledger died. Now, a lot of people don’t know him or haven’t followed his career…but he was a young star in Hollywood. He died at 28. No one currently knows what caused his death, it might have been accidental or not, or maybe a physical problem no one knew about. The point is [...]

Food For Thought
I’ve been very disturbed lately with all these women who end up missing, only to be found dead later on. Is it only me or does this seem to be happening more frequently? Maybe it’s just more media coverage, I’m not sure. It seems like some of these husbands or boyfriends are sociopaths. They [...]

Burma Shave
Back in the day there were Burma Shave advertising signs along the side of the road. Some of you have no earthly idea what I am talking about, and some of you, from an older generation, ( I won’t mention any names) know what it is I’m speaking of. Honestly, this was before my [...]

I look just like my Daddy!
I was reading an article online from our local paper this morning. It was a sweet story about a couple that already had 3 children, but felt called to adopt three little boys (ages 3-8) from Ukraine. The boys had been in different orphanages for about a year and missed each other terribly. Even though [...]

Cold and Gray, Winter Day
I’m sitting at the kitchen table looking out the french doors to the cold, gray day outside. Winter is usually an ugly season…unless it has just snowed and there is that soft silence and everything is covered with white. The trees have no leaves, the grass is brown, and the sky looks dull. Well, I [...]
