Bloggers Unplugged

April has definitely been the month of bloggers unplugged, or in other words I was able to hang out with a lot of my blogging buddies in real life … no computers attached, no reading a post that had spent countless hours under the microscope as one agonized over what word or phrase best painted [...]

My New Look

Thanks to Proverbs 31 for designing my new banner. I love it! Too bad the red cape doesn’t really give me super powers. I could use a few of those right now.
And just so you know, I had a delightful lunch with 10 other bloggers on Saturday. It was incredibly fun [...]

Menu Plan Monday – April 30, 2007

I can’t believe how quickly the month of April flew by! Then again, it constantly felt like I was jumping from one thing to another.
April was also the month of visiting friends, both old and new. My post tomorrow will be all about those adventures, especially the Bloggy Lunch I went to [...]

“When We’re Helping We’re Happy”

Last week my new SMART habit was to remember all of the habits I am currently working on. After posting my goal, I compiled a list and set it next to my computer so I could peruse it every day. Here is where I am at with everything:

Bedtime at 11:30 – mostly a [...]

Etiquette When The Bathroom Is Occupied

The other day while I was working out at the gym I drank too much water and as a result I needed to use the bathroom facilities. While taking care of business someone knocked on the door. What exactly do you yell from the throne to some stranger to let them know the potty [...]

A Sigh of Relief

The month of April has been insanely busy for me, but last night I finally finished my last big obligation. Thank goodness! I now have nothing too stressful occupying the back and front burners of my brain, and right now I am enjoying the sweet sensation … even if it only lasts for [...]

Sticker Attack

The other day Rudy and I were chatting in one room while the kids were playing in another room. When we went to check on them we found two year old Cory covered head to toe in stickers. Apparently Keri, the mastermind behind the artwork, decided she needed a new medium to work with [...]

Works-For-Me: Reusing Water Bottles

The Earth Policy Institute recently issued a report where they concluded that one and a half million barrels of oil are used to produce the plastic bottles for the 8 billion gallons of bottled water consumed each year in the United States. This equates to enough oil to power 100,000 vehicles a year.
That astounds [...]

Enduring Health Issues

Enduring health problems is the topic this time around for Woman to Woman which is hosted by Lei of My Many Colored Days and Morning Glory of Seeds From My Garden.
If you were to see me walking down a crowded street in the middle of summertime with my husband and two sweet kids, you would [...]

Menu Plan Monday – April 23, 2007

I am exhausted. You know your body needs more sleep when you feel like falling asleep during dinner. This month has been insanely busy, but at least we are entering the last full week of the month. Hallelujah! I just hope May is more relaxing than April has been.
Monday: Dinner with [...]

Happy Earth Day!

Earth Day, as we now know it, came to be when United States Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin created a bill to designate April 22nd as a national day to celebrate the earth. 1970 was the first year Earth Day was celebrated and over 20 million people participated in the festivities. Now over [...]

“Remember Is The Word”

“When you look in the dictionary for the most important word, do you know what it is? It could be remember. … Our greatest need is to remember. … Remember is the word.” (Spencer W. Kimball)
The first time I ever heard this quote was when I was a teenager and even then it had [...]
