How's the view from atop the world? How's the view when everything is going your way? A smile on your face? A kind word on your lips? A light shining for all to see? How's the view when you're all alone? How's the view when life is caving in? Do you still radiate the light [...]

Are you Irish?
Irish. Kiss me, I'm Irish. Just kidding about the kiss me part. Not about the Irish part. (I love snapchat filters!) St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. A celebration of the patron saint of Ireland. DNA Testing. Today, I'm going to share a little about my DNA, history, and ancestry. [...]
In Search of Simplicity
Simplicity Lately, I've been thinking a lot about simplicity. Actually, I've been thinking about it steadily for over a year. KonMari. I heard about the KonMari method around that time, even talked about it here. I'm a KonMari dropout... I made it through books and clothes, maybe even dabbled into the next section...and then nothing. [...]
Farmer’s Market & Winter Weather
Farmer's Market & Winter Weather. Do you ever have plans and then life throws a wrench into them? If not, then consider yourself lucky. The girlie came home sick on Friday, proceeded to run a fever most of the weekend. She attempted school yesterday. Made it two hours. I was on snack duty for the [...]
Thoughts on International Women’s Day
International Women's Day. I'm gonna be honest. When I woke up, I did not know that today was International Women's Day (even though I wrote about it here last year). I have a hard time keeping track of more than Christmas and birthdays (this is a slight exaggeration...but just slightly). Every morning I wake up [...]
This Road We Travel
This Road We Travel Thanks so much for all the love on Monday's post. We're preparing for a storm here. They've released the schools 2 hours early to get home before the high winds start. I've secured the yard the best I can. As a Florida girl, I'm pretty good at preparing for high winds [...]
This Merry-Go-Round Called Life
Any of you who have been following me for a while know that I do a lot of pondering on the meaning of my life and the meaning of life in general. Recently, I have been feeling like this existence is just a merry-go-round.... get up, make the donuts... you know how it goes (if [...]
Distracted Organization
Do you have a variety of collections? Do you need to organize them? Are you easily distracted? If you answered yes to any or all of these, then we have something in common! 🙂 Our house has been a continual work in progress. I don't like to buy new pieces of furniture very often [...]
Love in Action
Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day!! A day that has become symbolic with love. How do you show somebody that you love them? Is it with chocolate, wine, and roses? A heartfelt letter proclaiming your undying love? Or is it much more simple? A shy smile, an intertwining of fingers as you stroll along, a stolen [...]
Decisions, Decisions…
Decisions, Decisions. I know that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day and we are supposed to have an even longer winter, but I can tell why some of the other groundhog's didn't make the same prediction. Virginia Weather. The weather here in Virginia has been very indecisive. 30's one day with snow flurries and biting [...]
