7 Things My Grandbabes Have Taught Me

  Sweet friends, Happy Grandparents’ Day!  The idea for this post has been percolating in me for awhile.  After spending time this spring with Lucia and then Cadence, I realized both of my grandbabes have taught me so much.  About living. About what’s really important in life.  As a mommy, I was so caught up […]

Sentence a Day, 6.2017

  Sweet readers, hello! Have you seen my month of June? Because I tell ya, I blinked and it disappeared. Cannot believe an entire month has vanished, just like that…(insert snap of fingers).  But appears it has.  Hoping July will creep by so I can accomplish much and enjoy every minute. You must be waiting […]

Hey girlsies! Put your feet up and rest a spell while I share this “Currently” post and link-up with Anne In Residence and her partner in crime, Nancy of NY Foodie Family.  Our themes for today are what we are baking, listening (to), loving, planting and remembering…and look, they are in ABC order.  Came like that from Anne […]

Hey girls, Long time no write, huh?  I have so many post ideas to write up but get home from work, run to the gym, cook dinner and collapse.  Then do it again the next day.  And weekends are busier.  But this long-term sub job is about to wind down.  In two weeks, I should […]

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.
