The Longest Month & How to Get Through It
I always feel like January is the longest month. After the rush and activity of December we are faced with a cold, bare month with nothing to do. For those with seasonal depression it is the worst. After years of hating January I learned a few tricks to get through it. Number one is of […]
Blogging
I blogged a few years ago but it was pretty sporadic and I didn’t seem to have a lot to say. It sounds funny to say that because now my head is full of ideas. But back then it was just really hard to write. Maybe I was too busy with my kids. Now that […]
Easy Peanut Butter Pie
I love peanut butter and peanut butter pie is one of my favorite desserts! If I’m at a restaurant there aren’t too many desserts I’ll order but pb pie is number one. That’s why I was so happy to find this super easy recipe! The recipe calls for a graham cracker crust but an Oreo […]
Glam Planning
I love January for new beginnings and because I get to start writing in my new journal and planner. I have kept a journal or diary off and on since elementary school and I have a stack of filled journals for the past ten years or so. Every now and then I’ll pick one up […]
Changes
We all know that life is full of changes. Some are easy to adapt to but others are a bit more challenging. Our youngest daughter just moved into her first apartment. She is 21 and eager to ‘adult’. As her mom I wish she’d stay home longer, save more money, be a little more worldly […]
My 2020 in Review

January and February are always my doctor appointment months so I took care of all of that business. I also watched a fair amount of cleaning […]

A Quiet New Year’s Eve (& Good Riddance to 2020)
It’s a quiet New Year’s Eve for us tonight as I am sure it is for most people. COVID restrictions have made it difficult to ‘party like it’s 1999’ and let’s face it, most of us are pretty done with 2020 and have mixed emotions about celebrating anything to do with it. Our wild evening […]
Breakfast of Champions for Over 50 Years
I’ve been having coffee & toast for breakfast pretty much every day of my adult life. Before the coffee it was Pepsi (don’t hate) and before that it was hot chocolate with my morning toast. I remember having cocoa and peanut butter toast on a cold, dreary day when I was around 4 years old […]
