I’ve been thinking about my “Word of the Year” for the past few weeks. I thought I had one chosen then realized I had used that word a few years ago. Not wanting to repeat it, I kept searching. I knew the right word would eventually reveal itself and it did. This post may contain…
Why I’m Not Making New Year’s Resolutions for 2021
It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2020 and welcome a new, hopefully better, year. Normally I would be creating my list of New Year’s Resolutions. I usually try to have one or more goals or resolutions for each major area of my life (health, relationships, work, home, etc.). But this year? Nope. Let’s discuss…
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU!
Merry Christmas! I hope you’ve had a lovely day. We did a Zoom call with our daughter and son-in-law this morning. It wasn’t the same as having them here but honestly, it was better than I expected. I suppose we’ve all done enough Zoom calls this year that we are getting used to it. Here…
Christmas Eve ~ A Poem
Happy Christmas Eve! It’s after 11 p.m. here.

Homeschooling: Would We Do It Again?
Many families are considering homeschooling for the first time ever. When schools closed this spring, virtual learning options were quickly enacted and parents suddenly found themselves homeschooling their children with no prior preparation. There is still a lot of uncertainty regarding school openings for the fall and I hear many parents saying they are planning…
Create a Beautiful Life With a Morning Ritual

Fourteen Years of Blogging
Fourteen years ago today I entered the world of blogging. It was a bit of a lark and I really don’t think I expected to still be doing it all these years later. The thing is, I have found blogging to be rather addicting. I’m the type of person who thinks best through writing. Flannery…
