  Hello, sunshines! Unbelievable that in a month, we will bid summer 2018 a fond farewell.  To be honest, I am ready to be done with 100* temps and mosquitoes.  We never have mosquitoes and this year we have had to wear OFF in the house.  What’s that about?  Today I bought my first pumpkin […]

Things I Miss About My Teens

Seems like I am always running a minute or two, a day or two behind.  While I want to blog on a regular basis, I don’t want it to get in the way of my living life and doing things.  I guess I need to set up a schedule for writing here.  Like my fellow […]

Hello

Welcome, so glad you're here.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here.
