Thankful for Crashing

I’m pretty good with staying organized with homeschooling my three youngest, writing, blogging and the myriad of other responsibilities. Normally, I can keep dental appointments, my daughter’s hearing aid appointments, and any other medical appointments straight in my head with the help of a calendar on my laptop and another one inside a drawer. However, […]

Haiku

Next Monday is going to be the Blogathon’s Haiku Day. For a quick refresher, because I needed it, a haiku is a 3 line poem with 17 syllables. (with 5, 7, 5). Someone mentioned that we learned it in 3rd grade. Did you? Can you remember back then? I love them because they can be […]

Feeling Inept?

With this new blogging adventure, I’ve had way too many opportunities to feel inept. I’m learning how to post, design a blog, download a 3rd party html, and the list goes on and on.

  I’m blogging from not only a different computer but from a different state. I’m visiting my folks in sunny Southern California. So for the next few days, my posts will be short because I value the time with my mom and dad. I probably don’t have a whole lot of it left. For any […]

“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.”    Winston Churchill  (1874 – 1965) Wanted to share this today because it made me laugh. I hope it made you smile. Photo Courtesy of cliff1066 (Creative Commons)

Don’t Be Too Jealous!

  With being new to the blogging world, I’m finding it way too much fun! One goal I know I’m suppose to have is to craft my blog so it’s supportive of others. People don’t want to hear about the minutia of my life but about life issues that can help them in some way, […]
