I Know Just What To Say. “Purisitics.”

Something happened to me a couple of weeks ago that I wasn’t quite prepared for… It was a Friday night and my husband and I were taking two of our grandchildren to dinner and then to a movie.  We let the kids choose the restaurant and the movie.  That was the easy part. Where the [...]

52 Weeks of Giving: Weeks 11 & 12

Each week throughout 2011 I will share how I am giving back somehow, whether it’s by offering my resources, my time, my talents or my support. Giving back doesn’t have to be on a grand scale. And doesn’t have to be about money. Oftentimes charities, organizations, causes and foundations need support beyond donations. And that’s [...]

31 Letters Literacy Project: Day 27 – “Moving Closer”

Day 27 of our 31 Letters Literacy Project is all about HELPING. Today’s letter topic is inspired by a poem we bumped into on Day 27 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids: I Cry by Tupak Shakur Sometimes when I’m alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are [...]

My Baby Indy…

I know he’s not an actual baby… but he is my baby. My almost-3-year-old little man Henry is obsessed with costumes. Forget about clothing, he wants to be Superman, Spiderman, Power Rangers, SpongeBob, Batman, etc. every single day. (I’ve even caught him with my shoes on.) I’ve kind of given up trying to work around [...]

Spring 2011 Nike LIVESTRONG Collection

I’ve always been a fan of Nike’s LIVESTRONG Collection because of what it stands for… It has absolutely impacted my decision when I’ve purchased athletic wear. To know that my purchase is benefiting LIVESTRONG, it makes me feel good and makes me feel like I’m making a difference, just in this easy way. I love [...]

Week 12: Last week for my Lifetime Clean Start Challenge

This is a VERY bittersweet post… my Lifetime Clean Start Challenge ends this week. The last 12 weeks have been incredible.  What’s been so incredible about these weeks  is that they have been leading up to my final challenge – Creating a Reading Garden and a Library at my sons’ preschool. To say I was [...]

Paying the Piper

‘Tis the season! The weather is warming, Spring is here, and despite Thursday’s SNOW, warmer weather is here. Warmer weather brings lots of things, my least favorite being Spring Cleanup. Spring cleanup is generally one good sweep of the yard, collecting any leaves and sticks you either missed at the end of fall or that [...]

31 Letters Literacy Project: Day 26 – “Night”

Day 26 of our 31 Letters Literacy Project is all about the GREAT NIGHT SKY. Today’s letter is inspired by a poem we bumped into on Day 26 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids: BROTHERHOOD by Octavio Paz I am a man: little do I last and the night is enormous. But I look [...]
