Managing Mondays – Holiday Style
I am not sipping coffee in my normal spot today and it is not really Monday. Here is my morning quiet place. What nonsense is This? It is called vacation. I am taking the week off from my weekly spread. (And work.) What? I know. Call me crazy. No planner in sight! I left it at home. Instead of planning the week I left it blank. When I get home I plan to make those pages memories instead. I bet you are wondering how I will survive a week with no planner or no plan, even. Ha! I am not … Continue reading Managing Mondays – Holiday Style
Mother’s Day – A Blessing of Tradition
It is Mother’s Day. And as a mother I began wondering, “How did this holiday ever come to be?” Why does it seem different now compared to when I was a child? Carnations were given to mothers at church and … Continue reading Mother’s Day – A Blessing of Tradition
Tully – Hidden Gem of a movie
As I sip coffee some mornings, it is not unheard of that I might be binging on a really great television series or watching movies, new and old. However, nothing beats watching a movie on the big screen in a … Continue reading Tully – Hidden Gem of a movie
Strength & Dignity-Keeping Faith and Trust Day by Day
Enjoying my coffee time when all is quiet. I cannot say all because the fur babies are awake and their paws are tapping away on the wooden floors. There are some days where I wish I had more rugs along their beaten path to muffle their clickety-clack. On days like today, I have to sip my coffee a bit more eagerly so that the caffeine kicks in and I can tune out their distractions. I set aside 10-20 minutes in my morning meditation to journal Bible verses. In January when I built my Vision board I chose words Strength and … Continue reading Strength & Dignity-Keeping Faith and Trust Day by Day
Book Beau-A Book Lover’s Product Review
One morning a few months ago while sipping coffee I was browsing social media and saw something called a Book Beau. Have you ever heard of It? Have you seen It? Do you have one too? I felt like I was seeing it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. I was like a fish looking at a baited hook. I needed to know more about it. I did my research. And went about my day wondering what the buzz was all about. A few weeks later, again while sipping coffee, my social media feeds suggested Book Beau. I checked Amazon … Continue reading Book Beau-A Book Lover’s Product Review
Meal Planning -Delivery Kits Review
Coffee time equals quiet time around here and I was reviewing blog ideas realizing I owe you an update on some of the other meal kit delivery programs we tried: Sun Basket and Martha & Marley Spoon. If you recall, I posted a few weeks ago about out family pleasing experiences with Home Chef. This Friday another delivery will be at my doorstep and I am excited. Next week’s meal planning is practically a fait accompli thanks to Home Chef. The past couple of weeks we tried a couple of other offerings. Sun Basket I immediately unboxed and loved all … Continue reading Meal Planning -Delivery Kits Review
Organizing Recipes – Decluttering the Piles
I have so many recipes in so many random places. Santa brought me a Happy Planner Recipe Planner a couple of years ago. And it is full of blank pages that are just waiting to get filled. Over the past … Continue reading Organizing Recipes – Decluttering the Piles
Managing Mondays -Remembering Mom
I actually enjoy sipping coffee at all times of the day. I probably should have decaf after noon but I never do. My mother and grandmother had a pot consistently ready to drink all day long. I am not quite that dedicated. It is not unusual to drink coffee past noon nor is it unusual to be sipping it in the evening. I have been thinking about my weekly spread a lot this past week. Today is my late mother’s birthday. We like to celebrate birthdays all week long in this family. So this week is in memory of her. … Continue reading Managing Mondays -Remembering Mom
Managing Mondays-Mom Priorities
It is coffee time! Quiet time is so very precious to me. And this time at the beginning of every week as I sip coffee feels paramount to how the week can go. I take time to think on all that I need to do plus what I would like to do. It is my way of getting out of the bed on the right side. The past few weeks have been a struggle in changing priorities and I have had to shift even more to remembering what matters most. This focus adds a perspective like no other. I want … Continue reading Managing Mondays-Mom Priorities
