Catching Z’s To Feel Better

We've had a good week regarding getting The Teen to the bus on time for school and making sure WE get up on time.  I attribute that to one positive thing I have put into practice this week: going to bed at a decent time and getting a good night's View Post

Back To Life- Back To Reality

Back To Life-Back To Reality.....that's the song stuck in my head this morning.  Does anyone remember this gem from the '90s? I got The Teen dropped off at the bus bright and early at 6:30 AM, and I am home alone for the first time in a month! It View Post

A Narrow Miss

We had a narrow miss with winter weather Thursday night.  Our forecast looked grim and cold for Thursday night and Friday, with snow estimates from 9-12 inches.  That's a whole lot of snow for where I live, haha!  I know you Northerners are cackling, View Post

An Intentional New Year

My "word" for the new year finally came to me a few days after the new year, so bear with me, y'all!  Haha!  Picking a word for the new year feels a little hokey to me, but if I must, then my word for the new year is INTENTIONAL. What Is Being View Post

Ringing In Another New Year

Brrrrr!!  I'm freezing over here, y'all!  It turned mighty cold over Thanksgiving break, and I wasn't quite ready for this!  We were under freeze warnings a few nights, and it was down to the twenties!  TWENTIES!!! I'm almost positive I have stressed View Post

November Updates

I just can't believe that November is almost over!  And what a wild month it has been.  We made it through Halloween on our busy street.  I'm so glad the election is over.  I'm also happy that The Teen will have a long break starting Thursday View Post

Trunk-Or-Treat Fun

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to help my mama with a Trunk-or-Treat at our church's harvest festival. Hubby was off enjoying a football game with a friend, and the Teen was doing his own thing, so I said, "Sure! Why not?" There was a View Post

October Catch-Up

I will start my October catch-up post with my October Halloween Beanie Babies. The little vampire Beanie on the left is new to me this year. I found him on eBay and I definitely had to have him for my collection. I paid all of $8 for him, so View Post
