I subscribe to this website that I found through Bloggy Giveaways and she had an article today that completely fits with our “Live like noone else so you can live like noone else” mentality. Check it out.

Yeah, I know we just got home but there was fun happening in the uptown area of my suburb. The Historical Society and some of the Uptown Merchants got together to host a Trick or Treat- a week early.
The girls were very excited to put on their costumes and get treats!

Brenna, my performer, would tell [...]

I am listing items on eBay and Craig’s List. Yep. I have stuff that didn’t sell in the garage sale due to season (clothing) or cost (more than garage sale shoppers wanted to pay) or some other reason unknown to me (because I have good stuff…).
Anyway, fall is coming, gift giving season is [...]

Thank you to everyone who included my dad in their prayers. His surgery went well and today he was in very good spirits and was able to get out of bed. We had a bit of a worry this morning when his blood pressure was low enough to threaten a move to the [...]

We had a great weekend- thanks to all who asked. The girls really enjoyed our adventures, sleeping in the tent and cooking over fire. We stayed at Pammel Park near Winterset. If you’re planning to camp before winter sets in I highly recommend it. (More on my travel blog soon- I promise!) Until then here [...]

My family has been very blessed. We have not had to watch a loved one fight the terrible disease that is Alzheimer’s. The closest I have come to this disease is watching an amazing man succumb from afar. That man was Ronald Reagan.
To see such a man, such a great leader, slowly [...]

Our community’s summer festival is an all-encompassing thing. It begins Thursday and by Saturday the days are so full of activities you barely rest.
Saturday morning we were up bright and early to get some pancakes before the parade. Brenna was at the curb waving as hard as her little arm would shake so the floats [...]

Everyone has a story to tell. I don’t care if your life has been spent on a farm or in a city, if you have never ventured further than the nearest town or if you have been around the globe, if you have never met a stranger or if no one is stranger than [...]

And they will give me 2 million 440 thousand dollars…

I have asensitive and private brief from the Senior Executives of this top oilcompany in need of your partnership to re-profile funds amounting toUS$12.2M (Twelve Million Two Hundred Thousand [...]

Brenna is very interested in telling time. She will cometo me and tell me, “Mommy, the oven clock says five-two-four. What time is it?”

Since she is interested I want to get something that can help her understand time as well as learn to read both digital and analog clocks.

I think I may have found [...]

Caelan continued to run a fever yesterday and Brenna kept hacking like a pack-a-day smoker. We were locked indoors on a day when being indoors was the last place we should be. Not much got done as there was quite a lot of need for cuddling, nose wiping, diaper changing and book reading. [...]

About two years ago Doug, Brenna & I went to a silent auction for a little girl who had cancer of the brain stem. It was heartbreaking as she had a 5% chance of survival- and she was a twin. So we bid on a lot of stuff. And we won a [...]

Well, my dear readers, it seems we are “uneducated” and “narrow minded”. I received a comment from Anonymous who was not so happy about my question if Oprah could say God.
I think you need to watch Oprah more often. On Tuesday, while interviewing Coach Vivian Stringer, Oprah said,”God is great.” They were discussing the tragic [...]

It has been a year since I found out my friend E passed away. I’m not really sure what day she died as her husband was out of town and didn’t find her until he got home. It could have been the first or second of April.
She was unconventionally beautiful inside and out. Her life [...]
