I recently read a survey conducted with 1,000 nationally represented women aged 40+, called Post Great Grains Cereal Survey. I thought it was an interesting since, as an almost 35 year woman, I agreed with the majority of the results. It’s a great way to see what we women think are important life lessons to pass on to our […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Christmas Chorus Concert #ww
December 18, 2013 By 10 Comments
We attended our daughter’s Christmas Chorus concert last night. It was such a lovely hour and a half of music with all of the students in middle through high school singing holiday favorites. We ended up having to sit way way up at the top of the auditorium, so I wasn’t able to get good […]
Wordless Wednesday – This Daughter of Mine #ww
December 3, 2013 By 17 Comments
Every once in a while I look at my daughter, and I see her for who she is becoming — a beautiful young lady. So often I just completely forget about the fact that she is growing up. I still see her as small — a tiny little girl who giggles and teases and needs […]

October 9, 2013 By 15 Comments
Last Wednesday our daughter turned 13. THIRTEEN! I dug out this photo of her and Ginger when they were both just tots so I could compare it to Wednesday. Oh my how they have grown! My two girls, I just tear up looking at this! Pie has grown into such a beautiful young lady and […]

August 7, 2013 By 20 Comments
This week’s Wordless Wednesday is just three random cellphone photos from the past week or so. My granddaughter was peeking over the couch at me and she looked so cute while trying to escape! Our barred rock rooster Gimli has grown into a gorgeous black and white beast. While he still has a bit of […]
Wordless Wednesday – Talent Show Winners #ww
February 12, 2013 By 18 Comments
My daughter and her two friends competed in the annual school talent show last weekend. It was awesome! I have to say, these girls had only 3 practice sessions before performing and they were so much fun to watch! They took FIRST PLACE in the middle school age group! I wish I could share the […]
Lunch Box Rant
August 5, 2009 By 2 Comments
The first week of August is almost over… already! I can hardly believe it. Of course, this means the kids will be going back to school, back to learning, back to their friends and back to school lunch! School lunch is the rock in my shoe! My teen likes to buy school lunch, which is […]
Crafting with Pie – How to make Puffy Paint T-Shirts
July 22, 2009 By 4 Comments
My daughter loves to make things! She is constantly asking me “Mom, what can I make?” She also has a semi-short attention span and a tendency to become easily frustrated. This means we must find fun, crafty projects that she can make on her own or with minimal help. Which is why we LOVE […]
Daughter’s Fever
June 23, 2009 By 7 Comments
I cannot sleep, not yet. My daughter is sick and I hate sleeping while she is ill. Earlier this hot evening I made her comfy on the big couch, gathered her water bottle to hug or rest a flushed cheek on, a washcloth for her brow, freshened with cool water every half hour or so, […]
A Thousand Words Thursday
May 7, 2009 By 3 Comments
July 2004 I want to go back in time for a few moments when I look at our old photos! My now 8-year-old daughter was almost 4 in this photo! I miss the days where getting dirty while playing outside was fun. Now dirt is the enemy, heck she won’t even touch a worm anymore! […]
