Cinderella, Breakfast Tacos, and more      

This weekend I took my mom to see DD’s performance in Cinderella.  It was wonderful and of course, she was beautiful.  She amazes me every day.  Her bravery, her talent, her determination.  I ask myself all the time, “How did YOU raise kids like this?”  They are both just amazing people.She didn’t have a lot...

The Snooze Button

I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button.  And you throw in Daylight Savings time and UGH! What do you do with your snooze button time? Do you use it for a few extra minutes of sleep?  Or maybe you use it to slowly wake up.  Or maybe... Continue Reading →

Feeling the Empty-nest

Oh my.  So much to say.  Let’s just start with how I’m not totally digging this empty-nest thing right now.  Oh, I don’t mind the empty-nest as much I mind the distance between my kids and me. Once again, I’m asking myself what I was thinking, raising such independent kids!!

Busy little bee

I have been a busy little bee this weekend.  I had a wonderful lunch with a dear friend I haven't really seen for several years. It was a three-hour lunch date!  It was so nice to catch up with one another again.  I had really missed our friendship so I am really glad we are... Continue Reading →

Distractions

Good morning!  It's 8:13 a.m. where I am and I already feel productive.  I decided I would treat myself for breakfast today and it was yummy!  Now, this isn't a cooking blog by any means.  I don't make my own recipes (at least not to share) and I don't take the best photos of my...

More Empty than usual

So my nest has been more empty than usual.  DH has been on the road.  It's been so quiet here! In some ways it's been really nice and other ways... well, I prefer to be alone all day and then have him come home to me in the evenings. I finished 2 series on Netflix,... Continue Reading →

Being Productive

Whew!  Have I been busy this Saturday morning!  I've written the devotions for next week and have chosen the scriptures for the next week's devotions.  I've chosen the hymns for the next 3 Sundays and have started looking at Lent!  Have I mentioned that I'm a pastor at two small churches about 30 minutes from...

Time

I tried something a new today. I have a lot I need to get done but I'm always way too easily distracted lately. So, today, I set a timer. I have 30 minutes to do... whatever or 10 minutes depending on the activity. I've made myself push through and just work until the timer went... Continue Reading →

Brrr… What I do on a cold day…

How are you fairing this cold snap that is making its way across the US? I'm staying inside, nice and warm. I've got a nice fire going in the fireplace and I've had my hot cocoa and I just may have another. I've been trying to get some things done but I'm not being very... Continue Reading →

Starting on my list

So the other day I listed some things I wanted to do more of and one was writing.  I even said maybe I'd try my hand at poetry.  Now, I am definitely not a poet but it was fun to try to just pen a few words together to mean a little something... at least... Continue Reading →
