We took Ella and Andrew up to Cabella's after their dentist appointment to get pictures with Santa yesterday. I thought for sure that I had posted some of my childhood Santa pictures before. However, after glancing through some of my past Christmas themed blogs, I discovered that I hadn't. For what it is worth, it … Continue reading Photos with the Jolly Old Elf

Giving Thanks (Updated)
When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current. This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from three years ago, updated for 2022. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Giving Thanks (Updated)
Christmas in September
To say that the past few days have been stressful is an understatement. There have been some very good moments and I tried to just take them all in. However, something was on my mind all weekend. I'm not going to get into detail on that. I could, but I won't. Let me just state … Continue reading Christmas in September
Hardly Prepared For The Real World
I have made it no secret that Math (Algebra in particular) is NOT my best subject. I did poorly in my high school algebra classes. Yes, I did pass the college Algebra classes I had to take, but it was harder than I could have imagined. It didn't help that I hadn't looked at an … Continue reading Hardly Prepared For The Real World
Celebrating My Children!
In the Bible, in Psalm 127:3-5, it reads: "(3) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. (5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them" My quiver has been … Continue reading Celebrating My Children!

There is never a dull moment at our house! It was a weekend full of some really memorable moments. Saturday was a laid back kind of day. After dinner, I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit warm and I was sweating pretty good afterwards. I knew that if … Continue reading Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of
My Heart is Full
Recently I posted a blog that was difficult to write. It was regarding some things with my son. It dealt with some hurt I was sorting through. I am happy to say that I was able to see him today. He is currently having difficulty with a summer school math class. He asked if he … Continue reading My Heart is Full
My Father’s Day Weekend
Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting. Sam had texted me that Ella was anxious for me to come home to get my present. Ella was excited because she had seen … Continue reading My Father’s Day Weekend
A Fun and Busy Weekend
To say this weekend was not a hectic one would be a lie. In all honesty, the entire month has been busy for Sam and me. Sam has been running back and forth to various doc appointments and helmet appointments, plus helping her folks out with her sister. Both of us are running on little … Continue reading A Fun and Busy Weekend
Friday Flashback – Tile Towers
When my oldest boys were younger, they used to have to do fundraising for their school. If they raised enough money or got a certain number of orders, they won a prize. One time the prize was a Webkinz stuffed animal. Each animal came with a code. You would go to the website and "adopt" … Continue reading Friday Flashback – Tile Towers
