Dwelling on Excellence

Good day, friends. My, it has been a while. Not only that, we are living in a very different world than the last time I wrote. Life certainly has changed for me, and I'm sure it has for you too. It seemed like the decade was getting off to a great start when we got…

Happy New Decade!

Happy New Year! Can you believe it is here? The start of a new year . . . the start of a new decade! Have you thought about it? Where were you (physically, spiritually, emotionally) in 2010? How has your life changed?

Problem Solved

It certainly has been an interesting Fall. It seemed like we started by going straight from Summer to Winter. We had measurable snow on October 30th! It is very unusual for us to have snow in them on the month of October. As I mentioned in last week's post, I was looking into fitness center…

Traveling with Bright Line Eating

Last week was my first time to travel with Bright Line Eating. I'll tell you right off that it was far from perfect. But, it was a good learning experience--otherwise known as research. First, I did a lot of planning. We were staying at a resort where we would have a full-size kitchen and could…

I’m Still a Winner

I mentioned in an earlier post, that the Couch to 5K program that I looked forward to helping coach this summer was canceled due to a lack of participants. Our coach who leads the program offered to go ahead and meet with the rest of us that were going to help with the program during…

Just Me, My Metronome, and My Staples

Can you believe it's September already? I keep hearing people say that fall is just around the corner, and my mind instantly says, "Noooooooo!" But, I really do like fall. I love the cool, crisp weather and the colors of the leaves as they change. What I don't like is the shorter days. Fall also…

State Fair Bound

We had some very unexpected and exciting news earlier this week. Fabienne's cake which she entered in the county fair through 4-H was selected to go to the State Fair. It was not marked on her entry card when we picked up her cake from the county fair, so it was a surprise to see…

Fourth of July Recap and Beyond

Good Wednesday afternoon! We are starting the day off with thunderstorms, so who knows what today is going to bring. Hopefully they will move on and we can go on with the day. Here's hoping you had a great Independence Day. We started the day off with a 4-mile race that benefited a local hospital.…

Independence Day 2019

It's hard to believe that it is July already. Summer just got here, but it seems like it is slipping away so quickly. Before we know it, summer will be gone, it will be fall, and we'll be slipping into winter. After that comes the new year! Sigh. Tomorrow is a big day here in…

It’s Summer!

Yes! Summer is here! It's my favorite time of year. What's yours? I feel like summer is a time to be free and enjoy the outdoors. As a school-age child, summer meant no school and lots of time to play outdoors. As a homeschool mom, it's almost the same feeling! It's a time to lighten…
