April 23, 2024 Grateful for All of Our Spring Chaos The past few weeks have been spring chaos around our house. Don’t worry. There were no fires or life threatening emergencies. Alan was out of town for two weeks. He traveled all over the place and had his own cool adventures, to include meeting a group of Rosie Riveters from World War II and ringing the gong at the European stock exchange, Euronext. But this chaos isn’t about him. It’s about me over here, eighteen years into parenting, still struggling like a fly in a spiderweb. Last week, I was wriggling all over the place. Things kept happening the past […] Share this: Tweet Print Email WhatsApp More Reddit Like this: Like Loading... April 3, 2024 Easy Brilliant Way to Organize Your T-Shirt Drawer If you have a messy drawer full of t-shirts, you have come to the right place. We are going to organize your t-shirt drawer in beautiful, tidy rows today. The way I do this keeps all your shirts visible, unwrinkled, and rotated. This way you do not always wear the same three t-shirts over and over again. Well, actually the unwrinkled part depends on how neatly you fold your clothes. Sometimes I get in a hurry and don’t do the best job. But if you slow down and do your fold/roll neatly, they should be nice and unwrinkled. We moved […] Share this: Tweet Print Email WhatsApp More Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

February 21, 2024 Our Beloved Pastor Kevin Corey Did you have a good day at church?” I asked my twelve-year-old son on our way home, about a year ago. Yes, I did. I always do. Pastor Corey is the best children’s minister ever. And I would know because I have had a lot of them!” He’s right. Our moving all over the country every couple of years means Daniel has had several children’s pastors. Daniel went on to talk about what makes Pastor Corey great. He is so funny, and he tells the Bible stories well, so everyone listens and understands. He was kind and fun to the […] Share this: Tweet Print Email WhatsApp More Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

I am not too proud to admit that I have seen many no-energy days where it feels almost impossible to do anything. Let me tell you, I had two hard-core, no energy at all days, last week.

For my 2024 planning session, I sat down with my calendar, a pen, and the kids’ school calendars and roughly planned out the entire year. Have you ever tried that? It sounds simple, but I tell you.
