One of the things on my January Checklist was to start a new hobby and let me tell you I am so glad that I did. My granny tried to teach me to sew years ago and I did okay but I never really learned. It wasn’t a big deal but I am short and…

January 2025 Checklist
It is the beginning of a new month and something new I am doing this year is a Monthly Checklist. I found this January Checklist by Bitter Lemon Digital on Etsy and they have one for each month so I will be printing them off and doing them each month. I also plan to share…
2024 Reflection
As I sit here and write looking back over 2024 I have to say it was a year full of trials and tribulations for me. It started off full of promise and hope but I feel like I dropped the ball so many times last year that it not even funny. I decided I would…
2025 Has Arrived
It is the start of the new year and that time where goals are made. This year I am doing something a little different thanks to something I found on Etsy. The past couple of years I haven’t really set any goals or anything. Just sort of being flying by the seat of my pants…
A Very Holiday Mishap
As the holiday season approached, I decided this year would be different. I’d finally get a jumpstart on my Christmas preparations instead of scrambling at the last minute like a contestant on a holiday game show. So, I made a plan: I would decorate the house, bake cookies, and maybe even attempt to wrap presents…
Holidays at Our House: A Christmas Full of Soldiers
Growing up, the holiday season in our home was more than just a time for family gatherings and festive decorations – it was a time to open our doors and our hearts to those who couldn’t be with their own families. Every year, our home would fill with soldiers who couldn’t make it home for…
Coffee Break: The State of Things
I know that it seems as though I have been a bit MIA lately and I have to some degree. Personal posts have taken a backseat to a lot of other things. Nothing horrible. I have just been feeling overwhelmed to some degree. There is no excuse or reason behind it. It just is. I…
The Joys and Struggles of Turning 48
Turning 48 is a milestone that will happen for me this week, a blend of joy and struggle, marked by both humor and wisdom. As I approach this new chapter in my life, I find myself reflecting on the changes and experiences that come with it. From dealing with a body that doesn’t quite work…
Life Lately – A July 2024 Month in Review
July is over and I will admit to being a little sad. It means we are that much closer to the end of the year. When I was young I couldn’t wait for the year to be over and have Christmas. Now, as an adult I find myself wishing time would slow down a bit.
Life Lately – A June 2024 Month in Review
June is over and I will say that I am glad for it. This month my uncle had a heart surgery that didn’t happen once they got in there. They couldn’t hook him up to a machine or device they needed to in order to do the work they needed to so we are trying…
