You know that dream where you go to school in white pants and have an accident? I had that dream yesterday at the gym – only I wasn’t sleeping.
I was on the elliptical machine and I had to cough. Aware of my tendency to “leak” I stopped running, squeezed my thighs as tight as possible […]
My family and I had the most fabulous Memorial Day weekend away. I am so grateful that it’s difficult for me to find the words to express it.
I met a woman at my Emmaus Walk retreat a month or two ago. Cindy’s a lovely lady transitioning into her own. Ah, change and transition is sometimes […]
Wow, Rosie quit after the argument I guess. I would have written about it before, but I didn’t hear about it until I had gone for my Memorial Day weekend away (I time stamped my blogs, just as they prerecorded The View. But, I’m back now.)
I guess they have prerecorded two weeks of The View, […]
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day.
Thank goodness I don’t have any fallen soldiers to remember.
I have lots of veterans though.
My dad recently retired after 30 years in the Air Force and Utah Air National Guard. (Yeah, I’m a total military brat.)
My sister-in-law served 5 years in the Army and is still, knock-on-wood, subject […]
It’s a holiday weekend and for lots of folks it’s the first weekend we’ll spend frolicking in the sun at the lake or beach.
I’m recommending a great sunscreen for the whole family. I loath lotion sunscreen - it’s just icky and I’ve got to wipe it all over my self and two kids. Grossimer. Last […]
Feeling down? How bout a giggle?
Diva Days has started the first Carnival of Diva Days and, of course, I submitted my story about fake eyelashes.
I actually wore something similar to this brides maid’s dress on All Women’s Talk. I thought it was so pretty I wore it to church and weddings for a long time […]
Many of you may have seen the neti pot or nose bedet, a very effective cure for allergies and sinusitis, explained by Dr. Oz on Oprah. I’m too cheap to even buy that, but I do a sinus wash, created by Debbie Nicholas, every day and it’s a miracle cure for allergies.

1 dropper Black Walnut, alcohol […]
Did everyone see Oprah yesterday? About the battered women and what staying in this type of situation does to their children?
I know this column will reach a battered woman, because according to the US Justice Department, 30 percent of women are beaten by a significant other at one time or another.
This is an issue very […]
Did you see The View this morning? Rosie and Elisabeth had a big huge fight about how Elisabeth responded to a question Rosie asked Elisabeth earlier in the week. Elisabeth was vague and non-committal about whether or not she believed Rosie thought the troops were terrorists, as reported on cable news stations. They totally went […]
Two great blog carnivals have been updated and you could spend all day long browsing the great blogs, columns and articles included in them.
The Carnival of Family Life was hosted by Be A Good Dad, which is great advice in itself.
I read Oh Yea? So What Is YOUR Child Wearing? posted at scribbit yesterday and […]
All you people with SUVs should trade them in! Not only because you’re wasting gas money or because your car is bigger but still only seats 5 people, those are obvious.
That mini-van is like a hotel room on wheels. Man, we should have bought a mini-van years ago.
We could even go car camping and […]
My husband and I took the Dave Ramsey course Financial Peace University a few years ago and we finally had enough cash to buy a new car.
We live within our means – period. We finance nothing, aside from a house (when we’ve saved enough of a down payment). If you find yourself going to sleep […]
I tried a new nail polish, Revlon Colorstay Always On Color, and I have to tell you about it. I stopped wearing polish on my fingernails because one or two days after I painted them they just were chipped and tacky looking. I wouldn’t have time to remove it, so I would walk around with […]
I am on my fourth week of Chantix, a new smoking cessation prescription drug. If you are a smoker who has ever tried to quit you know the biggest battle can be desire.
To be honest, I didn’t WANT to quit smoking because I loved nearly everything about it. But, someone told my 5-year-old that I […]
Is anyone else wondering why Gwen Stefani is saying nothing about Akon simulating a rape on a 15-year-old girl during his opening act of her concert last month?
Akon has reportedly issued a statement saying a 15-year-old shouldn’t have been allowed in the club and he’s sorry.
I don’t think it would be much better if […]
