Happy Mother’s Day
One thing I’ve learned as an older mom is to know my limits. So for today, here is a treasured picture of my kidlets.
Happy Mother’s Day – 2010
If you need a time-saving idea for your blog posts, go back and find a favorite past blog post. Here is mine from last year when we were in the middle of the 2010 Blogathon. Total chaos reigned this morning at breakfast because, you see, my biggest is home for the weekend. There were five […]
Disappointed?…Then Take Some Time to Remember
The test results were negative… I wasn’t selected… My child yelled and slammed the door in my face… My heart aches… It aches with disappointment, and yet I have still hope. I remind myself, “What do I know?” I know that the Lord has been faithful when I went through two years of infertility. How […]
Guest Blogger Post – Liz Sheffield
During the month of May, I’m going to have guest bloggers on Thursdays. Please make a point to stop on by. Today I’d like to welcome a very special guest. Her name is Liz Sheffield, and she’s one of the writer mamas in my online writer’s group. Liz Sheffield lives with her husband and two […]
Five Favorite Books
Today is one of the theme days on the blogathon. It was suppose to be five favorite writing books but I thought that my choices would be the typical writing classics with a few extras thrown in. (I’ll probably share my fav writing books list in a future post this month.) So instead I decided […]
Great Mom Giveaway at Reluctant Entertainer
I love Sandy Coughlin’s book, Reluctant Entertainer. Actually I love her entire website. Yesterday she posted a fab giveaway and said that a reader could win two extra entries for the great gifts if you blogged about it. Yeah, great timing, Sandy. Thank you! I have her book which is not only a wonderful book […]
Have You Ever Had a Green Smoothie?
I found green smoothies a few years ago. When I first tried them, I offered the drink to my kids and they ran off to hid their heads in the pillows. I had to pay my kids 25 cents to try them. Since then, my youngest and I fight over who gets the last sip. […]
What I’ve Learned From Blogging So Far
I have been blogging for just about a year but have not been consistent by any means. My first love is writing parenting articles for regional parenting magazines. (See sidebar) As an older mom, it’s fun to come up with ideas to write about to help younger moms streamline their life, provide resources for them […]
Do You Have Questions About Blogging?
Okay, I wasn’t going to blog anymore about the Blogathon. (Sign up ends tomorrow at 11 p.m. PST.) However, I just spent some time on the Blogathon 2011 Google Group looking at people’s questions and answers. And I have to say that this group is the nicest, most helpful group of people. Holy cow! So… […]
Are You Fearful of a New Adventure?
How many ideas have you shoved back inside your head into the dark recesses of your mind? Adventures that you’d like to try but you don’t because of all of the doubts that yell NO. “You won’t be very good at it. You can’t be serious? You’ll fail.” Starting a new business, writing a book, […]
