The beginning of a new year is traditionally a time to look forward and make plans, goals and resolutions. If 2020 taught us anything, however, it’s that we only have so much control. Any number of things from personal to global can interrupt or even derail our plans. It’s tempting to simply throw our hands…
My 2021 Word of the Year
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…

I just finished wrapping the last of the gifts and stuffed the stockings. I’m…

Creating a Social Media Manifesto
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?
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…
