Wonderful Wednesday

I missed my Wonderful Wednesday post last week.  I'm not sure how that happened but it did.  I do not want to miss it again.  I think remembering the wonderful things in my life is good for me!   So here we go. Last weekend, DH and I had some amazing quality time as emptynesters.... Continue Reading →

Stormy days

Don't you just love a nice rainy day with a little distant thunder? Those are my favorite days to just cuddle up inside and listen to the sounds of the storm. I prefer it to be a distant storm of course and nothing too severe. What about during those stormy days of life? The ones... Continue Reading →

Friday Musings

So, I'm trying to write more, but this week was spent just being present with my kids.  I've traveled to see them both. It was a quick trip... too quick, but it's been so good for this momma's heart.  I miss them so very much and it's good to connect in person.  Anyway, with the... Continue Reading →

For The Birds

Once again, let me just say, this empty nest thing… it’s for the birds.  I’m over it.  Time for a recall!  I need my kids to move home.  Oh, they don’t have to live with me, or even live in the same town!  My dream would be within an or two so that I could... Continue Reading →

Good News for this Momma’s heart 

Last week, I shared that my DS would be deploying soon but he has found out that he is NOT deploying for now! He is scheduled for a school later this year and it’s just not worth it to send him for just a couple of months, I guess.  So, for this momma’s heart, it... Continue Reading →

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!!

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 →

Passion – fireside musings

When I think of my passions I can only think of two things, my family and God. When trying to figure out my ‘calling’ or purpose in life though… well, God seems pretty broad and my family... is my family. I keep trying to narrow it down.  What is my passion with God?  What is... Continue Reading →
