Come On Over!

I’ve gotten a few comment moderation requests lately, which shows me that somehow people are still finding this blog.  While I simply don’t have the time or energy to keep this one up anymore (oh, how I miss it!), I did start a different blog that focuses more on my card making and online shop.

She Still Exists!

Yes, I am still around. No, I’ve hardly even thought about blogging again until recently. Yes, I’ve missed it. No, I haven’t even been reading other people’s blogs like I used to. Suffice it to say that all heck has broken loose for me and my family, starting around the middle of February. I will [...]

Well Look At That, She Hasn’t Fallen Off The Face Of The Earth!

Hi! Welcome “back” to any of you who have waited patiently for me to write again. I do plan on writing more but will not be blogging as much as I had been, unfortunately. I love blogging but have to keep my priorities in proper focus. One of those priorities is to list my work (cards) [...]

Hiatus, and Happy Birthday Jesus!

So, so sorry I haven’t been around!  I know I keep saying that.  There is a lot going on around here: making cards and selling them on eBay, working on Christmas gifts, being in a moderate fibro flare, dealing with mental health junkiness, preparing to have my boys in a couple weeks, the usual daily things…  [...]

Christian Ways to Reduce Stress

I suppose some of you have seen this before.  I came across it awhile ago and printed it.  While finally shoveling through my disaster of a desk today I found it again and decided to pass it on to you.  I can’t say who the author is, although s/he sure is wise!
1. Pray
2. Go to bed [...]

Fun With the Kids!

My dad had my brother and sister-in-law’s kids (ages 10, 14 & 15) over for last weekend (a 4-day weekend for the kids) and asked if I might like to have them on Saturday. Would I ever! They were with Cory and me one Saturday about a month ago and we had a blast. I knew it would be good [...]

Better Days!

I’m praising the Lord that I’m feeling quite a bit more human these past couple of days. Still fragile, for sure, but better than Tuesday, I’ll tell you that. God is good!
Attesting to my feeling better are yesterday’s accomplishments:
The laundry is put away.
All of the dishes got washed, after several tries this week.
The counters are [...]

MIA

So sorry I haven’t been around much since Thursday, friends.  It’s been a combination of stress, being busy, and being really tired amid the stress and busy-ness.  You’re in my thoughts and prayers though.  And tomorrow I will post my Meal Plan Monday post and hopefully get back into some good blogging.  I’m especially sorry [...]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

This morning we woke up to 30 degree temps and a frosty wonderland outside, as well as this:

Which led to this:
 (leggings)
And, for our morning walk and prayer, this:

Brrrrr!  I’m so thankful for our nice warm home (in which we haven’t even turned on the heat today)!

Short Break

Folks, I’m taking a brief break from my blogging. This week has been far too busy for me and I haven’t really had time for blogging. Last night I had a little meltdown because I’m feeling stressed and frazzled. Then I wrote my Thursday Thankfuls post and it got lost to cyberland. [...]

The F-Word Revisited

I had a frustrating phone call with a family member last night. Part of it was my fault because when he asked me how I was, I told him I was tired. I had just dragged my exhausted self off the couch to make dinner and “tired” just came out automatically. I should know better [...]
