TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…
FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line
Last week, we became those people. I had my first inkling in line at the grocery store. As I waited for my turn, I thought about all the things we had going on that week. Appointments, classes, homework, meetings, events…plus regular school and work hours. The line moved forward and I reviewed my menu plan…
TToT – The One Hundredth!
It’s party time, kids! This week we are celebrating the ONE HUNDREDTH Ten Things of Thankful link-up! Ten items every week…one hundred weeks…ten lovely co-hosts…plus everyone else who links each week? That’s a lot of thankful! I have been part of the TToT since almost the beginning – I pipped into the link-up at number…
TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…
TToT – Another Busy Weekend
There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Last weekend I struggled to find time to write my TToT in between all the things. And no, of course I didn’t write it before things got busy. That would have been much too logical. I finally ended up slipping in at the end of the…
Finding the Funny at Vikki Claflin’s Laugh Lines
I have finally figured out how to be in two places at one time. Sort of. A while ago I submitted a funny story to Vikki Claflin for her “Finding the Funny” serious over at her place, the hilariously accurate Laugh Lines. This afternoon, for the first time in like a week, I scrolled through…
How to Live with Special Dietary Needs
I’m a travelling expert today. What do you do when your child has a food allergy or sensitivity? When they react adversely to food ingredients? You figure out how to avoid them. And doing that is actually pretty simple. Our Zilla can not consume artificial food dyes. Well, she can, but the results are not…
TToT – Between All the Things
Until this afternoon, I have only been home to sleep. We are on the go! If I’m getting this TToT in at all, it has to be right now while we’re home for a few hours in between all the things. Here we go…
TToT – Let’s Just Do This
Hello, Friends. I’ve been flying only a bit above radar lately. I think I’ll be back to posting a bit in the week ahead. In particular, you should stop by on Tuesday, April 14th because I will be hosting a little virtual interview with the lovely Tamara Woods of PenPaperPad. Come check that out. Now…
Soup of the Week – Green Soup Surprise and a Side Car
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just about the time we felt sort of confident about the arrival of spring, temps dropped into the ridiculous range. Despite the warm temps today, the wind blew cold and the forecast says snow again. It may be just “a quick clipper,” but still. No matter the temperature, though,…
