Whew! That was a lot of information over the last 3 blog posts, wasn’t it?! I know! I agree! Now, here it is blog number 4, the final blog in this series, and I am really curious – have you started thinking about or planning out your mini-vacation? I hope that what I am sharing…
Ok, great… but HOW?! Feeling a bit overwhelmed at taking a mini-vacation (possibly: for the first time | first time as a couple | first time as a family | first time alone | etc.)? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Honestly, just the thought of the work to be done to prepare and take this…
“Ain’t nobody got time for that!” The phrase that really got thrown around back in 2012, thanks to Kimberly ‘Sweet Brown’ Wilkins still seems to ring true today. Yet, how often do we decide we don’t have time for something, without even looking to see what the benefits could be? You see, in some ways,…
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho it’s off to work we go… Doesn’t it seem like that is all we ever do sometimes? Home to work, work to home and repeat? It’s funny, I remember when it was promoted that with the advance of technology, we would soon have more time to relax. Computers were going to make life…

You know that thing? The one that annoys you, because it needs handled but on the priority list of life it ranks too low to get done? This is a recent one for me. In the hospital, in Ken’s room, <bathroom to be specific>, this toilet paper holder doesn’t stay latched closed. This means that…
Ever felt like you needed a shower after having a conversation with someone? Not because of their potty mouth, but because of all of the negative talk that they just got all over you? Ever talk to someone that was so bright, uplifting, and positive that you went away feeling better than you did before…
“The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor: he took my measure anew every time he saw me, whilst all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me.” George Bernard Shaw Have you ever been in the discomfort of feeling that you should do something, and doubting your…
It’s a part of me. I’ve almost always got a drink in hand or at least within reach. It’s not uncommon for me to have a refill near for just in case. I think the looks I like the best are when someone sees me carrying around my amber liquid in a recycled coconut oil jar….
