May Momentum

I'm finding my May momentum today!  We've had a super busy week, and I am so glad it's finally starting to wind down and the weekend is upon us!  I've been wanting to blog all week, but I just haven't had the time.  Hopefully, it will be a little View Post

Slow Weekend

I'm in slow weekend mode this Saturday morning.  I was rudely awakened at 4 AM by Jake, who wanted to go outside.  Ever since the weather has been nicer, he wants to be outside all night and sleep all day.  Reminds me of being a teenager on the View Post

Update Overload

I feel like this post will be an update overload.  Debating whether I should split it into two parts, haha!  I can't believe I let more than two weeks go by without posting here.  I have lots of excuses... the gorgeous weather, my lack of focus on View Post

Nose In The Books

I have had my nose in the books lately and don't want to jinx myself, but I am blowing away my reading goals at goodreads so far! I had decided for this year's reading challenge, I would keep my goal attainable and practical, so I committed to View Post

Happy March!  Wow- Time is flying! We have had some gorgeous weather lately!  I was sitting outside in SHORTS on Friday and Saturday!  It was sunny, slightly breezy, about 78 degrees, and just perfect!  But alas, it's somewhat chilly again.  We even View Post

Old-School Weather Channel Music

Y'all.  Y'ALL!  I have discovered an old-school weather channel video on YouTube that plays the old Weather Channel music and gives the Local on the 8's forecasts, starting in the early 80s!  It just happened to pop up on my YouTube feed a couple of View Post

Birthdays and Birds

I guess this post will be about birthdays and birds.  Haha!  But first, a little food... Last weekend, I made the Hawaiin Chicken recipe Mari posted on her blog, which was so good!  Hubby loved it!  I think this will become a regular for us.  I View Post

Last Week Was a Good Week

Last week was a good week!  It's always a good week if I'm feeling like doing a little something, and thankfully, my body cooperated for the most part.  I think the beautiful false spring weather had something to do with it.  We've had some gorgeous View Post

What’s Going On

Good Wednesday to you!  I thought I'd update what's going on around here.  It's nothing spectacular, I promise!  But I'm glad it's February because January seemed to last a year!  Haha! My mama made it through her cancer removal surgery just View Post

Wear Your Coat; There’s No Heat!

When I was growing up, there used to be a commercial for a business on our local TV station, and at the end of every commercial this particular place of business did, they reminded folks that might be stopping in to "wear your coat; there's no View Post
