Motivational Monday #7
Sure there’s obstacles, challenges, and hurdles to jump – but don’t let them stop you. If it is something you know is attainable, remember the words of Audrey Hepburn:
Accentuate the Positive – Strengths vs. Weaknesses
Growing up, one of my jobs was to clean the pool. Didn’t seem fair that I always had to do it – why not my other siblings? (Please try to get past the whining coming from the child fortunate enough to have a pool to enjoy). The response I got was that I did a…

Friday Five: Did You Know – II
Once again, we thought we’d share a few random ‘did you know’ facts. Technically these are not holiday facts, however, they could be great conversation starters for any of those holiday get togethers! Enjoy and share your knowledge! . . 1) Green Eggs and Ham was written sort- of on a dare. Dr. Suess’ publisher said there was…
Older Ladies Anthem – Just Divine Sweet Pea
This came to us via a few of our fellow bloggers (thank you very much!) and after viewing, we just knew we had the right audience to appreciate this little ditty. Check out this Fierce video singing the praises of being over fifty and feeling fine with all that brings. We have provided the lyrics…

I have felt…
Think Outside the Basket
As I got older, so did my girls (welcome Captain Obvious). But as they grew, I looked for ways to make their Easter baskets grow up along with them. When I married my second husband, he came with three teen-age boys so I really had to put my thinking cap on as they were older and…
Confessional – Facing phobias like Hypengyophobia and Chronomentrophobia
OK, so I have already ‘fessed’ up to breaking the toilet seat in our “About” page. We, in the family, had a good laugh about it but it is still embarrassing. So much so that I now confess to not having replaced it. The toilet seat sits in the bathroom, repaired by black duct tape…
Nemesis
You know how Sherlock has his Moriarty and Superman has his Lex Luther and Pinky and the Brain have Snowball (a hamster that defeats them every time they attempt to take over the world)? I feel as though Exercise is my nemesis! We have been on opposing sides forever it seems. I was listening to a…
