I just found a new-to-me meme on Show My Face called Six Word Saturday. Call Me Cate asks readers to describe their life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. Here are my six words for today: Google doesn’t like my new domain. Am I ever going to see the benefits of my [...]

Unprompted commentary from my 4 year old son while he was brushing his teeth for bed tonight: “Mom, I used to be in your stomach. I was like a big egg. I was a big, huge torturer in your stomach. I was a torturer. And you were fat. And I kicked you in your tummy.” [...]

Wednesday is often my favorite day of the week because Wednesday is cub scouts night. I adore being the den leader. Usually. Yes, 8 year old boys can be a challenge. 8 year old boys can be noisy and fidgety. And, yes, it is really tough to manage noisy, fidgety, energetic, enthusiastic 8 year old [...]

When MamaKat suggested sharing a journal entry from when I was 13, I knew that would be the writer’s prompt that I’d pick. I was an obsessive journal writer when I was a teenager, which is a fabulous thing. I am so glad I kept a journal. The only problem? I wrote about the same [...]

I am an earthy color person. Oranges, browns, reds, make me feel peaceful.What is your favorite thing [...]

If it would ever stop raining around here, I have promised myself that I will head outside to take some last-of-the-season Fall photos. I haven’t gotten many this year. Winter is [...]

It has been raining all week long. Wait. I take that back. I don’t think it rained on Monday and Tuesday, when I was the sickest. I didn’t leave the house those days, so the pleasant weather hardly made a difference. I’ve been cooped up now for long enough, though, that I am itching to [...]

You’ve got to know something is wrong when the photography nut stops taking pictures. I just haven’t had an urge to pick up my camera lately. It’s the stress. It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal on a day to day basis, but when I look back on ALL of the pictures I [...]
