I’ve got 3 posts percolating around here, but haven’t had the time or frame of mind to get them wrapped up & ready to post. LOL! I’ve got pics I want to add, and that just takes time. Little Man is cutting another tooth and we’ve all kinda been battling a not-quite-the-flu-but-don’t-feel-so-good kinda thing –… read more »

House Remodel Update: Slow and Steady
So, the house remodel has been, well, SLOW these days. We’ve had several days when nobody showed up to do anything on the house. We don’t always know when or if they will be here – and that is only mildly annoying. If they aren’t here by 9 am, they probably won’t be here. And… read more »

TILT: Well Planned Day – On the Go Planner
As much as I love technology, I have not been able to fully commit to an online or virtual calendar/schedule/life planner situation yet. Instead I’ve downloaded free (or purchased) printables that I could use to my own liking in 3 ring binders or day planner binders – and they have been a great investment. I… read more »
