Have you ever been to one of those kids’ plays or concerts where the one kid right out in front is bellowing at the top of his/her voice all the words to every song – but always off key? It makes for some good laughs, but when it happens in real life – every day… read more »
Okay, I’m not really “blue” but it was a catchy title, eh? After writing my post on Friday and sharing the incredible blessing of our new PURPLE van, I feel like I should clarify. Purple is actually NOT my favorite color. But it’s a color I can find plenty of and love to be surrounded… read more »
Whew – the preparation for Christmas has NOTHING on the aftermath of Christmas! This is the pile of boxes remaining from our Christmas extravaganza! My dad always had a “system” for opening gifts on Christmas morning. After one of us kids was selected to play Santa, one gift was passed out at a time and… read more »
Not surprising to some of you, I have been known to be a tad, er, “Dramatic” at times. For those of you who have known me long enough, you may remember back to my younger days when I sang in front of church and participated in church dramas – whether as part of the children’s… read more »
I’ll admit it. I LOVE SNOW. I don’t like the bitter cold. But I love snow in winter. I was spoiled, you see, because I lived in Alaska as a child. Alaska was full of mystery and adventure for me. I had the opportunity to attend a public school on the base my dad was… read more »

Have you ever tried to actually Sing in the Rain? Usually I’m a bit “froggier” during wet weather so I don’t sing with as much gusto, but I’m usually singing in my head at least… I’ve found that doing my “chores” around the house is SOOOOOOO much better if I am listening to praise &… read more »
I’m just gonna be really honest – it’s been awhile since I made my home sing. Lately, I’ve been content to just find a particular level of maintenance and call it “enough” when really, it is just barely squeaking by. sigh. One day last week I was online and really – in my heart of… read more »
Aha! A topic I can really talk about! Why can’t a man be more like a woman??? Why can’t he see that the trash is full and should be taken out – the living room floor is an almost impossible maze of shoes, toys, jackets, and clothes – and one lonely sock missed the laundry… read more »
