International Women's Day. I often talk about my beliefs about the equal rights for women. I keep it no secret that while I have chosen what many consider a "traditional" role for a woman (stay-at-home mom, household manager, chauffeur...take your pick of the many of things I do), it is exactly that...A CHOICE. A choice [...]
Photography. Most Thursdays I bring you photography of Doors from places I've visited. Today is no exception. However, in today's series, the doors are more of a subject of viewing than the subject of my words. Or put more simply, if you're here for only the photographs, feel free to scroll through the photos. It [...]
Photowall. Photowall is a Swedish Company that sells wall murals and canvas prints. When Photowall contacted me with an offer of a mural or canvas in return for my review, I was flattered.

Over the Rainbow. Last week we had a spectacular double rainbow. It was so spectacular that my husband called me from his commute to tell me to grab my camera and shortly after that, a friend texted me to grab my camera because the rainbow was just that awesome! Unfortunately, my first sighting of it [...]
Is That Snow? If you read yesterday's Blogiversary post, then you know that we got our first snow here in Southwest Virginia! It was beautiful. Now I'm ready for it to leave. When you are born and raised in South Florida, where 70 degrees constitutes wearing a hoodie, it takes a while to get accustomed [...]
Traditions. Most families have them. Whether they show up in holidays, weddings, other celebration, or in the daily workings of life. One of our family traditions was started when my children were very young. In the process of adding ornaments to our Christmas tree, I stumbled across the Christmas Nail. Christmas Nail. With Christmas [...]
The Love of a Father. A Father's Love is a thing to be treasured. In honor of my father's 60th birthday, I share my thoughts with all of you as well. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: He believed in me. -Jim Valvano Time seems to pass so quickly. [...]
