No More Mini-Van Mama…

It’s a new era in our house. Well, maybe it’s more accurate to say that it’s a revived old era. Either way, I am no longer a “mini van mama.”  We traded in our 2003 Ford Windstar mini van yesterday and came home with a “sangria red” Ford Explorer. This is not the greatest photo, [...]

Essential Oils

Several months ago I discovered Young Living Essential Oils. My friend Christi had been telling me about them for years, literally, and I finally tried the oils last fall. I am blown away at how wonderful oils are and how great they have been for our family. Let me tell you more…
Ever since Mariana was [...]

Countdown to Spring…

18 more days. I can do this. 18 more days until spring. Two and a half weeks. COME ON, SPRING!!
I am not normally so “weather fixated”, but it’s been a cold winter by Georgia standards and this Southern girl is more than ready for some good ole sunshine. Today it’s cold (again) and we have [...]

Welcome, March!!

It’s March. That seems surreal to me in some ways. I mean, how can it be MARCH 2010 already?! Wasn’t it just Christmas? Woah. I feel like this year is speeding by  pretty quickly, but I’m actually very happy that March is here. March means that our coldest month, February, is done. March means Spring [...]

It’s that time of year again…

It’s Lenten season and that, of course, means a sacrifice of some sort. For the second year, I have given up Facebook and other “social” internet sites. I decided not to give up email or blogs. Trust me, Facebook alone is a sacrifice. I even went so far as to delete the Facebook [...]

Zoom-Zoom-ZUMBA!!

Have any of y’all taken a Zumba class? I have heard about it for awhile and finally got up my nerve to take a class at the Y last fall. I loved it! It’s an intense workout, but it’s so much fun!! I haven’t been in a couple of months, but I’m planning to go [...]

Yikes!

I have been such a blog slacker again. No excuses. Yes, life is busy. Yes, the whole holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Years) was super busy. Yes, I’m on the GO a lot. Still, I would like to be better about attending to my blog. I need to find a way to make it a [...]

Two Weeks ’til Christmas

I cannot believe that Christmas is two weeks away. 14 days. Well, less now considering that today is almost done. Wow. This year has positively flown by, hasn’t it? Doesn’t seem like last Christmas was that long ago and another one is almost here.
I do love this time of year though. I love decorating [...]

Blog Revitalization Time…

Good morning!!
If anyone is still checking on my blog once in awhile – THANK YOU! I am back. I am going to make a real effort to update this blog daily. Even if it’s “wordless” like posting a picture, or sharing a quick story or even posting some Scripture – I am going to do [...]

Happy October!!

Okay, who can believe that it’s already October?! Seriously. This year is FLYING by at the speed of light. The years definitely seem to get faster the older I get. I guess that’s true of most of us, right? I just can’t get over that today is October 1st because it seems like it was [...]
