Finding More
No time to read you say? Set up a daily routine for yourself and carve out some YOU time! I feel energized when I read about others pursuing my same interests. I feel inspired when I read about and learn new things. I feel peaceful when I read the scriptures and other books that uplift […]
So what do airplanes and funerals and rental cars have in common? Well. Not much. Ha! Jk – this was not a bait and switch I swear. Given that airplanes and cars are both modes of transportation I can take a moment right here to give thanks for modern technology and transportation. Without them I […]
Money causes most marital fights they say. I completely agree. Have you ever had a disagreement over money? (see my questions and comment below!) Too much of it, too little of it, how it’s spent, how it’s saved….even how it is organized can cause contention. Once my husband and I had a spat over which […]

I don’t know about you but mealtime, dinner time in particular, is kinda crazy at our house. And we are still in the land of littles here! As I’ve confessed before I am not an extremely organized person by nature, but I am one who likes to be prepared- sounds contradictory- but there is a […]

DO pamper your skin. DO drink more water- with lemon. DON’T eat dairy. DO drink milk. DON’T have caffeine. and on and on. But […]
Simple Beauty…sounds like an oxymoron right? Yeah. It does to me too. We are all too wise to what it really takes to be “naturally beautiful” these days.
