Springtime Promises
Fab Hub and Kidzilla discovered a new tenant on our street when we returned from church on Sunday afternoon…

Focus on Right Now
I am a very impatient person. When I decide I want something done, I want it done yesterday. Or sooner. I think I’ve always been this way. There are so many things in my life that I can recall wishing would happen faster, end faster, take less time.

Snack-Sized Wisdom
I love quotes. I love words in general, but quotes are the best. When I was a kid, I read every single “Quotable Quotes” section in the Readers Digest every single month. Loved them. I still love quotes. They are like snack-sized bites of wisdom. Need a quick fix? Have one. Need more? Keep going…

Headstones and Homesteads
I ran an errand to the mall today and ended up sitting at my Grandparents’ grave site. I don’t know why, really. I’m not much of a grave visitor. I had a rough day today. But I’ve had other rough days and none have sent me running to their grave. Perhaps it is just that…

Scrubbing Pots
My husband hates scrubbing pots. He is, in all fairness, really pretty willing to clean up the kitchen after I cook and he rarely complains. But pots are his nemesis. Particularly, pots with anything stuck, splattered, or burnt on them.

Potentially Useful Skills: A Follow-Up
My Mom always says, “Half of being smart is knowing what you’re dumb at.” How true. And the older I get, the smarter Mom gets, of course. Maybe it’s just that as we mature, we realize that our parents actually do know what they’re talking about. They do have all that experience they lay claim…

On Burdens, Strength, and Balance

Focus on What is Enough
Ever have one of those days where all you can think about is how much you aren’t getting done? One of those days where despite all valiant efforts, the pile doesn’t shrink and after a full day of working you somehow have practically nothing to show for it? Yeah, had me one of those today.…

Sunday Dinner
I cried over my dinner tonight. It wasn’t that it was horrible. In fact, it was quite good. Roast beef cooked all day in the slow cooker until it fell apart with just a touch of the fork. Fluffy mashed potatoes with real butter and real milk whipped up just so with the electric mixer.…

Why I’m Lovin’ McDonald’s
I swung through McDonald’s drive-thru for lunch on Friday. Not the healthiest option, perhaps, but necessary. I usually pack lunch (or, to be more accurate, my Fab Hub packs lunch for me), but Friday looked like a snow dismissal day, so I figured I’d be home in time for lunch. Wrong.
