The car is a place that I find myself every day. We use it to get the kids to school, I pick up groceries and run errands, we drive to work, or it takes us on an adventure. Each trip in the car usually comes with a bag, purse, backpack, or mask. Continuing my car theme…
We are rounding the corner on almost a year of living life more virtually. While I love technology, there’s always a learning curve. My husband is the administrator of our Christian school and for lack of a more skilled person, I’m the IT person. I’ve had to absorb great amounts of information about technology to…
When you find an amazing product that you can’t live without, consider making it your go-to gift idea. The most popular gift that I gave over Christmas was the Drop Stop seat gap filler. You may recall this post from November. I did tip you off before the holidays, but in case you missed it,…
The Snow Globe Family is MY favorite children’s book. It’s a sweet book about a family in a big house and a similar family living in a snow globe. They are all hoping for a big snowstorm. The book parallels the two families and it reminds me of the excitement we would have over a big snowstorm. We…
With all this mask wearing, it’s putting a lot of emphasis on your eyes. I feel like I have to be really expressive with my eyes so people know I’m smiling at them in a store. I have put less effort into teeth whitening and been focusing on my eye lashes the last few weeks. I…
Christmas cards are a fun way to wrap up another year and wish your friends and family a Merry Christmas. I enjoy connecting with people from each chapter and season of my life and for some reason Christmas cards bring us all together again each year. Since I find myself a little less busy this…
I saw some articles in March about people putting their Christmas lights up in the spring to bring some cheer. I didn’t jump on that trend, but I did decorate the house VERY early this year. I am no longer a purist about waiting until after Thanksgiving. The ambiance of the tree brings a cozy…
Have you ever bought your spouse a selfish gift? I have to admit, I was thinking of myself when I got my husband this universal remote for his birthday in October. He added a sound bar to our entertainment system a while back and it came with the tiniest remote that was always getting lost….
I recently got a newer car and the very first thing I switched over from the old car was my Drop Stop. I drove around for a few days without the seat gap fillers and I was shocked how much I had been depending on them since 2016 when I was first introduced to this…
Our bathroom fan has sounded like a plane crashing for the last few months. We knew it was dying a slow death as the motor squeaked, sputtered, and eventually gave out. While it was dying, the metal aspects of the fixture were being devoured by rust. It was one of those projects that I thought…
I don’t particularly like crafting and I most certainly don’t sew. The thought of a DIY Halloween costume isn’t really my thing unless it means it saves me money. Then you are talking my language. Today I want to share 2 EASY costumes you can create for less then $10, You can have them made…
Molasses cookies may not initially sound tempting, but once you’ve tried this recipe you will think otherwise. I’m hoping I’m not letting out a secret family recipe, but it’s too good not to share. I’m frequently requested to write it down. My grandparents were my neighbors most of my life. I have fond memories of…
