Weaving Through the Setbacks
My blog is gone. I’d uploaded a database backup plug-in, and upon activation, good-bye blog. Ironic, isn’t it? I can only hope it’s retrievable. One year of blogging gone forever. Last night in between preparing cheese sauce and broccoli, a toddler wound around my leg, and a terrific thunderstorm, I wondered what God could possibly…
Magic Kingdom Part 2
After the Jungle Cruise we then headed to Fantasy Land where we ran to get pictures with Ariel at her grotto. They said the line was a 45 min. wait, so I took the three youngest ones and we went to see if we could ride Dumbo. But the line was too long so we…

Work Smart: Letter of Introduction
“Work smart” is a phrase we hear a lot, in both the business world and in life. I’m constantly looking for advice that will help me “work smarter” in my home and in my writing life. A couple of years ago, I saw a copy of a beautiful magazine that covered arts, travel, dining, and…
Capturing Your Memories in a Journal
As parents, we follow our kids around with cameras trying to record those happy moments of childhood. Snap! First tooth. Snap! First steps. The milestones show up in baby books and photo albums (or for those of you less organized, like me, they show up in shoeboxes, with good intentions!). Yet even more important than…
