Social Media: A Conversation Between Friends

I was visiting with friends over the weekend and as we were chatting about everything under the sun, the conversation turned to social media.  They were a littled baffled as to what to do and why!  They also commented, as I've heard with countless others, how overwhelming it is! I think in the beginning, it is overwhelming! There's really just no way around it! If you're a small business owner, social media...

The Joys Of A Great Kitchen!

I'm sure all of us have hosted friends or visited with friends where the kitchen just felt so warm, inviting, and comfortable to where you sat for hours chatting and enjoying the time! When considering how you want your kitchen to function, obviously you must consider meal preparation, storage, lighting, appliances, and the like; but not to be neglected is how you want to feel in the space whether you're entertaining friends and family...

I Love It! But Really?

I am a subscriber to The Coveteur, an online publication that gives you glimpses into the closets of some of the most interesting people around the globe!  One of my favorites was Mary Alice Stevenson!  If you haven't seen the posting about her in The Coveteur, you should really take a peek!  Her closet is so much more than a closet!  Back to where I was going with this!  I decided that since I enjoy The Coveteur...

Monday: A Late Start To My Day, And It Is Okay!

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you pretty much have a good sense that I try very hard not to stress and "sweat the small stuff"!  I got a pretty late start to this day.  I over-slept by a couple of hours!  I made my two lovelies their breakfast of choice, and proceeded to get ready for my day.  By the time I'd fired up my laptop, poured myself another cup of tea, and settled in; this time at...

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday!  I'm, surprisingly, at a loss for words.  The only sentiment that springs from my heart is to give my God, my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, all of the glory and all of the praise.  Thank you!  Please don't interpret my "silence", if you will, for sadness over turning a year older.  On the contrary, I am so humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude that I have been given another opportunity...

Lazy Days And Outdoor Living...

Who knew?  I've been reflecting a lot here over the last few months about how much my tastes, preferences, and attitude has changed regarding various things.  Nothing in particular and definitely not because of anything in particular!  I guess I just have those moments!  One of my fondest memories of growing up in Arkansas is when my aunt Jean (my dad's sister), and a friend of hers took my cousin Erica and...

How Beautiful Is This...

I'm writing this posting while sitting in a shaded spot at the park.   I thought instead of enjoying another gorgeous day from a window, the kids and I would get out and experience it first hand.  As we were walking, to my hand-picked spot in the grass, my son says to me "it's a beautiful day, Mom".  I say to him, "yes, it is isn't it!".  I love that at twelve years old, he appreciates the beauty nature bestows...

Staring Out My Window, Daydreaming...

It's beautiful days like today, when staring out my window induces visions of lazy days spent lakeside, either out on the boat drifting along, or canoeing down the Buffalo river (Arkansas), lounging under the trees (in my parents backyard), feeling the tingly cool breeze on my face and skin, eating, drinking, laughing, and talking with family and friends.  But alas, work has to be done!  My time will come! ...

With A Man In Mind

Ask ten different women what are some things that come to mind when they think of their ideal man, and you will get probably, hmmm, seven to eight times out of ten, some of the same answers.  Now some may be a little more specific than others.  And some maybe more simplistic.  And yet, still others may even be just totally unreasonable and living in some fantasy world that they only have access to!  These are the ones...
