“How much shopping can one person do?!?”, my husband called out as my fingers clicked madly away on the keyboard jumping from one cyber-deal to another as quickly as I could. “It’s almost midnight! Don’t distract me! I am working against the clock here! Just wait til you hear how much money I saved us”, […]
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We went to visit my husband’s family in Idaho on their family farm. There is very little as fitting as celebrating Thanksgiving on the farm. We had amazing food (all homemade of course!), my daughter learned to drive the front loader tractor, and they went shooting clay pigeons. […]
T’was the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn’t sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. The leftovers beckoned, The dark meat and white. But I fought the temptation, With all of my might. Tossing and turning, with anticipation. The thought of a snack became infatuation. So I raced to the kitchen, Flung […]
And there is no better week to take the action of giving thanks and showing gratitude than Thanksgiving week. This is the perfect week to extend a helping hand to someone in need. And we can always find someone out there who is in greater need than we are. It’s so easy to get sucked […]
Tonight my husband and I were invited to go to the Governor’s mansion to celebrate Diwali. Diwali is a five day Hindu festival known as the Festival of Lights and it is one of the biggest holidays of the year in India. This festival is as important to Hindus as Christmas is to Christians. During […]
Happy Halloween Everyone! I love seeing all the cute little kids in their fun Halloween costumes on Halloween going door to door in search of candy. And according to a news report I saw on TV this morning those cute little kids should be hiding their candy stashes when they get home tonight – they […]
Today I heard about one of the coolest ideas ever so I couldn’t help but share it with all of you. In 2012, a woman decided that for her birthday, rather than having anyone give her gifts, she instead challenged all her friends to perform a random act of kindness for someone else on her […]
This week we celebrate the Fourth of July, a day to celebrate Independence and Freedom for all people. July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by Congress. What an amazing event in the history of the world. And how much has taken place since that day. According to the US Census […]
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S. It’s the day we remember those men and women who died serving in the military. It’s also become a day to honor all of those who were near and dear to our hearts that have passed on. People place flowers on graves and flags on graves […]
Not much beats a good holiday weekend ahead to look forward to! I especially like when Monday’s are a holiday because Sunday night you get to be excited for that one more day off. To celebrate President’s Day I thought it would be fun to share some quotes from different President’s over the years. Enjoy these […]
Tonight I went with a group of young women who decided to spread a little Valentines love by heart-attacking some of the neighbors front doors. For those of you who don’t know what a heart-attack is, it is when you take a bunch of cute construction paper cut out hearts and stick them all over […]
I was married five years ago, but prior to that I was single for ten years, and for every one of those ten years I dreaded Valentine’s Day. It was as if there had been a holiday created just for the purpose of torturing anyone who was single! They may as well have renamed the […]
Only 21 days until Christmas! It is hard to believe. This time of year is my very favorite, yet it seems to fly by so quickly each year that I barely am able to appreciate and take in the Christmas spirit. I am beginning to realize that the only way to take control of ENJOYING […]
First and foremost I am thankful for my faith in God. My faith and love for my Heavenly Father is at the very core of who I am and it helps me know that I am the daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves me and who believes in the very best of what I […]
As I write this blog tonight there are only 13 days until Thanksgiving! I LOVE Thanksgiving! The turkey, the gravy, the pies….mmmm…pies…Can you tell I have been dieting for the last month? I figured I better diet before the big day so I can be ready to take advantage of eating all the goodies with […]
