Focus – Still Distracted but Moving Forward Anyway
So here we are, four days into February. Time to check in on my One Word goals and move forward into the next part of the plan. This year I’m working on Focus. For January, I decided (with a little help from Steve over at Do Something Cool) to focus on removing distractions rather than…

TToT Part Two – A Tribute to the Rotten Cats
Today is the Rotten Cats’ birthday. It is. They are eight years old today. To celebrate, please join me in a little TToT dedicated to my Rotten Boys. I figured I could probably come up with ten reasons why I’m thankful that they are part of our lives… Humor. The Rotten Cats provide an endless…

TToT – Later, January!
Goodbye, January! I’m so over you. Why? Because Polar Vortex, that’s why. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the temperature read 32 degrees in my life. Let’s get right down to business. First, I’m going with the theme of being thankful for others’ happiness. Monday of this week, the Fab Hub took…

Things I Never Thought I Would Do (Revisited)
This post originally appeared on my blog in August 2012. I’m re-posting it today because it (almost) perfectly fits one of Mama Kat’s prompts this week. It’s a few more items than the prompt asks for, but I couldn’t possibly choose…so I’m going with it. Once upon a time, I was completely non-girly. Femininity is…

TToT – Even When I’m Cranky Edition
I have been dumping my items of thankful in a post draft all week. I wanted to make sure that I didn’t forget any moments and I didn’t want to hit the end of the week and feel like I had this big job to finish after what I knew was going to be a…

TToT – A Stunning Debut
OK, maybe this isn’t exactly stunning, but it’s a pretty darn good list of things to be thankful for. What is stunning is the fact that this week I am doing TToT for the very first time as one of the co-hosts of this most awesome hop! Huzzah and cheers! This is where you hoot…

Focus – Removing Distractions
I have been thinking so much about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. My main task right now is to figure out how to take that word and turn it into an umbrella underneath which I have smaller sections, if you will, to work on. This is way harder than I thought it would…

TToT – Getting the Year Started Edition
Happy 2014 and welcome to the first TToT for the year! In an effort to get to a movie I am most thankful for having received as a Christmas gift, I am dispensing with any sort of crafty and witty introduction. I’ve got popcorn to pop, people. And yes, I’m counting that movie gift up…

TToT – Turning the Page on 2013
Know how long I’ve thought about what to put on this Ten Twelve Things of Thankful Year-End post? Days. Know how many things I came up with to put in the post? Zero. Yes, yes, I’ve done a whole lot of TToT lists over the last couple of months – and it’s been great. But…

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
Today, December 23rd, marks the 190th anniversary of the first publication of one of my absolute favorite poems, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” more familiarly known by its first line as “The Night before Christmas.” Granted, there has been some serious debate as to the true authorship of the poem – some argue for Clement…
