My 2021 Word of the Year

December 31, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

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…

December 30, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 11 Comments

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! 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…

Happy Christmas Eve! It’s after 11 p.m. here. We delivered some gifts this afternoon, had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner (grilled hot dogs – ha!) while watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, and then watched my favorite – It’s a Wonderful Life.

Tying Up Loose Ends graphic

It’s time to start tying up loose ends for 2020. It’s been an *interesting* year and I suspect most of us are ready for a new start. I like to finish up some things as the year draws to a close so I’ve made of list of tasks to try to complete this month.  This…

Creating a Social Media Manifesto

August 31, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Social media manifesto - graphic

Social media, online news, streaming services, apps, etc. can easily keep us glued to our phones hours a day. There is much good to be said about modern technology and I, for one, would not want to go back to the days of  carrying paper maps in the car, being limited to the radio or…

Homeschooling: Would We Do It Again?

July 27, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Homeschooling

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…

Fourteen Years of Blogging

May 5, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

14 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…
