*Another* Use For A Wooden Spoon

January 31, 2012

I absolutely love Pinterest. It has slowly become my go-to site when researching something, or planning a project, or needing a  gift idea. I waste spend lots of time pinning stuff. There are so many great ideas, recipes, signs, and decorating tips, I wouldn’t even know how to begin describing how great the site is. [...]

My Heart Will Go On …Hopefully

January 30, 2012

I spent most of the day onThursday having a stress test to check out the bundle branch block that I have on the right side of my heart. Wow. How’s that for an opening sentence? I strive for my blog to be a place where readers can come and find answers to their most pressing questions, [...]

Letters To Crazy People

January 27, 2012

I spent 7.5 hours in a Cardiologist’s office today. I am spent. Which makes no sense because I spent 94% of that time waiting. The worst part is that I won’t know any results for several days. I’ll devote a whole post to my Stress Test experience later, but today, I thought I’d write a few [...]

You Capture – Colorful

January 26, 2012

We are having an unusually warm January here in West Virginia (NOT western Virginia), which is absolutely fine with me seeing as how I am not a fan of heavy coats or snow. Or cold. I am also not a fan of being on a 55-hour “no caffeine order” yet, here I sit. I have [...]

It’s A Birthday Gift, Suckers!

January 25, 2012

I don’t consider myself a crafty person. Well, that is unless you count the fact that I scrapbook. But since I haven’t scrapbooked for well over two years, do I really still qualify as a scrapbooker? I’m thinking that maybe I should say I used to be a scrapbooker. A little over a year ago I set up a [...]

What I Learned This Week

January 24, 2012

Before we get started on this week’s edition of What I Learned This Week, can I just take one second to say, “SQUEAL!” Don’t you love my new header? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly my boys are changing their looks, and it dawned on me that I really needed to update [...]

I am a stay at home mom who rarely stays home.

January 23, 2012

We had a crazy busy, enjoyable, relaxing weekend. After dinner here at my favorite place with 19 girlfriends, complete with chips and salsa (OH MY WORD, I LOVE THEIR CHIPS AND SALSA) and lots of laughs, we headed out for even more laughs as we watched Queen Latifah and Dolly go head-to-head in and if [...]

One Day At A Time

January 20, 2012

On January 2, 2012, I wrote a blog post titled, Letting Your Life Speak. In that post, I reflected on some changes I wanted to make in my life. Specifically, I want my life to speak this year. And I’m not referring to the wild, loud and crazy words that fly out of this mouth daily. Surprising, I [...]

You Capture – Cold

January 19, 2012

West Virginia is known for its very COLD winters and very HOT summers. I guess you could say our motto around here is “Go big or go home!” I’m not a huge fan of either extreme if I’m being honest. My ideal temperature is 80 degrees in the heat of the day with little or [...]

A great tip with a side of bad photography

January 18, 2012

I recently told Stevie we would not be buying one more Lego because the Legos are taking over our house. His dresser is covered with Legos. He and Alex both have tables in their rooms that display “their creations.” And we won’t even talk about the ”mini figures” that are all over this house. When I said, “No [...]
