This morning, I spoke at 8th Grade Career Day at my kids’ school–it was a hoot. Not only did I get to talk about things I am passionate about, but I got to embarrass my own children at the same time. What could be more fun?!? One of the things I asked the participants [...]
My Mother’s Day was a quiet day at home–just as I wanted it to be… There were a few memorable characters involved for sure. It was such a beautiful day with a cool breeze…we just hung around in the grass, played catch… and took some fun pictures Lots of things were blooming too…. And the [...]

Not much to look at now….but maybe….. With [...]
Well, I haven’t been here much lately…. because I have been many other places!!! It has been an exciting few weeks. At the beginning of the month, I was so honored to be a part of the day-long retreat Creating Sacred Space: Paths To Simplicity And Spirituality At Home…. You may remember me talking about [...]
When we think of Tupperware, or Gladware, or any other nice storage container, we think of the order and neatness we can create! OH THE POSSIBILITIES!!
