As I write this post, my precious almost-two-year-old granddaughter is sleeping soundly in the room next door. I know without a doubt it's soundly because she fell asleep in my arms while I rocked her, while I carried her upstairs and lay her down, covering her with a soft blanket, and ten minutes later… Continue reading Oh So Grateful!

What is Minimalism–Really?
The past couple of years have brought with it a desire to live fully by minimizing not only my possessions, but other areas of my life as well. With that desire came the discovery of The Minimalists. I've listened to numerous podcasts and read articles galore and always come out on the other side with… Continue reading What is Minimalism–Really?
Unique Boulder
We had family visiting from Minnesota this past week. With all the snow Minnesota has had this spring, my husband and I thought we would treat them to new sites. And the sites don't get any better--or crazier--than Boulder, Colorado. In fact, Boulder is like it's own little state. Comments like "Only in Boulder," "That's… Continue reading Unique Boulder
The Month of Hearts
February is the month of hearts and love. Anyone living on this planet is aware of Valentine's Day, whether we're fond of it or not.

I also celebrate my kids, adults now, but that… Continue reading The Month of Hearts
My Least Favorite Four-Letter Word
B-U-S-Y. It's one of my least favorite four-letter words. No matter where you look, people are busy.

We're busy at work and then… Continue reading My Least Favorite Four-Letter Word

Foundations
Every chance I get, I tell people of the foundation of faith, family, and love on which my parents built their lives. That, in turn, set such a wonderful example for their children and from there, their grandchildren. I went to stay with them for a couple of weeks a while back as my dad… Continue reading Foundations
