Three years ago, I wrote a love letter to my daughter. A love letter to my youngest child. Miss Sunshine. My only girl, who was just entering into the teenage years. Interestingly, the love letter that sat in the recesses of this blog, and had been seen by around 100 pairs of eyes before 2019, [...]
They say the older you get, the quicker time flies. And I have to say that I agree. It seems like just yesterday that I was embarking on my year of "this is 40" monthly challenges and yet here I am today having already made it through my 41st year. As I shared on my [...]
It happened again! You may be asking what happened again. Well, I blinked my eyes and another one of my children crossed the threshold into adulthood. Yep! On August 17th, son #2 (Mr D) turned 18. I wrote about this second blessing of mine when he turned 15 (you can read that post here). I [...]
What's Up Lately. Episode 006. Hey Everybody!! I hope that you all have been well. My life has been busy, but that's nothing new given the fact that my three teens keep me on my toes. Getting Outdoors. Now that the rain has finally moved out (for the most part), I've been making a [...]
What's Up Lately. Episode 003. I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning waiting for the storms to roll in. I hope that you're having a lovely Sunday. This past week has found me returning to some moments of self-care. Pilates. If you'll recall from my last update, I was on the final push for [...]

Pressing comfort zones both physically and mentally. It really felt like a coming into my own. Background. If you are new to my [...]
What's Up Lately? Episode 002. Since I'm mostly popping in with updates, it doesn't feel right to call them "Friday Faves" and also they may not always fall on a Friday. Today, however, it does. And since I need different titles... Episode 002. Secretly I'm hoping that Episode 007 will have something really exciting to [...]
Friday! We've once again arrived at Friday. This week has been much better than the last two. Not without its stressors, but substantially better! I think it was because the sun came out. Is that springtime peeking its head into Virginia? I think maybe yes. Friday Faves. This week I'll just dive into [...]
Friday. Edition 31. Hurricane. This week has been a blur. If you read my post on Monday then you know that my family in Naples was affected by Hurricane Irma, but that they are all safe. Facebook. I don't spend much time on my personal Facebook page. When I do visit it, I usually [...]
Hurricanes. Hurricane Irma is still on the march. But she has passed by Naples. And she has left her ugly mark. I know that some of you may stop by my blog today to see how my family fared. My heart has been moved by the words of concern I have received... here, on [...]
