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…

Friday Favorites on Thursday Night

Call me a rebel. I realized I haven’t done a Five Friday Favorites in about forever, so I’m tossing one up right now. On Thursday. No fuss, no ado, just five down and dirty favorites of the moment as they fall out of my head. Right. Now. Here they are.

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 – Warm-Up and Move Forward Edition

So I go hog-wild last weekend and post not one but TWO TToT lists and then… …a very lame Wordless Wednesday (which does indeed have a whole lot of words)… …and nothing else. I have so many drafts in my drafts folder and I am quite excited to finish and post them, but all sit unfinished…

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…

First Word of 2014

Hello, friends. Welcome to 2014! I’m not quite ready to dive into my new year of posting just yet – I’ve still got some thinking to do. But I am ready to commit to my One Word for 2014 so I can at least put that out there – mostly for me, but if it…

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…

That’s a Wrap!

So, here it is: the end of 2013. As is generally appropriate at this time of year, I have been doing some thinking and reflecting on the year that has passed and the one that is yet to unfold. One of my efforts in this vein is to join Joy at I Can Say Mama…

Do You Hear What I Hear?

A pot of water boiling on the stove. We need to use those last few potatoes today. Rain – or maybe melting snow – dripping outside the windows. Perhaps a little of both. Christmas songs on the radio. Awesome. Cars driving by. The windows are open today. Fifty-four degrees so far today. A flock of…

Ten Things of Thankful – Couldn’t Help Myself Edition

I couldn’t help myself. Over the last couple of months, I’ve become so accustomed to looking for the positive moments in my weeks, that I couldn’t help but sit down on Friday night and start my TToT list. But there’s no TToT linkup for an entire fortnight. Everybody has holiday things to do and that’s wonderful.…
