Make 2017 the Best Year Ever
In September I joined my friend Anne-Marie Faiola's 42 Day Best Day Ever Challenge. Afterwards I felt so good that I stayed on it until her Best Holiday Ever 21 Day Challenge started in November. And the results have been so amazing that I am already signed up for the January 2017 Reset Challenge which starts on January 16, 2017. I can't believe I … [Read more...]
Why My Family Loves Medi-share
Healthcare is a touchy subject. When we first lost our insurance due to changes written into Obamacare it was an extremely stressful subject around our house, but now a few years later I am pleased with the healthcare choice we made. You can check out my original blog post, Our Family Chose Medi-Share to see how we made our choice, but basically it … [Read more...]
I’m Only Superhuman on Tuesdays
I’m only superhuman on Tuesdays and it isn’t Tuesday very often around here. I know—Tuesday rolls around every week—but sometimes I forget that it is Tuesday and leave my wonder powers in the closet. By Friday I am often left wondering how I accomplished so few of the things on my must-do list and realize that I forgot to activate my super powers … [Read more...]
18 Lessons from 18 Years of Marriage
Today Dennis and I celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. Our marriage is now old enough to be an adult. That is something amazing to me because we are two flawed humans who chose each other day by day. Over the past 18 years of marriage we have succeeded and failed in business, struggled as parents, packed up and started over, lost a … [Read more...]
Unconditionally Loved
My dad has been my role model, editor, hero, encourager, disciplinarian, cheerleader and inspiration. His persistent support made me feel like I could do anything—and even if I wasn’t good at something I could count on him being there to support me. For many years I broke his heart, rebelled and was angry that his job made us move so much. … [Read more...]
Let’s Play Motherhood Bingo!
I was recently sent a proposed blog post, and while I generally say no, I found this one amusing. Who didn’t sit in a Bingo game at one point in their life and get caught up in the fun of it? This version of bingo pokes fun at the highs and lows of motherhood. It is good to know we aren’t alone in this crazy amazing exhilarating journey. Being a … [Read more...]
Reminders in the Midst of March Madness
March arrived in our house in a blur. There were dance competitions, speaking engagements, two thesis papers due, a 50th birthday to celebrate, house guests, a chili cook-off for Red Cedar Bison, a lawn and garden show for GreenWorks, and a lingering cough. All of which has left me pondering–is it really already the end of the month? Didn’t March … [Read more...]
Add a Dash of Puppy to the Chaos
You know how sometimes you have so much on your plate that you don’t know which way is up? Do you ever do crazy things-like add more to your plate-in moments like that? I do. I’ve been in the middle of adding new goods, classes and services to Selah Press, developing new spices and products for Red Cedar Bison, while juggling my regular life as … [Read more...]
Living Firmly Outside of the Box
Caiden was talking to another kid who lives out in the country by us. He asked, “Have you seen that house with the purple fence?” To which Caiden replied, “That is my house.” Yes, we live out in the country on 12 acres, and no we are not your typical country folks. Dennis’ favorite color has always been purple and mine has always been … [Read more...]
A Day in the Life of Riley
My cat Riley is a busy guy. He is our only outdoor cat. He manages 12 acres of property and he takes his duty seriously. He can be found at all four corners of our property hunting and protecting the family. He accompanies me on any outdoor chore I have. He loves to help in the garden just as much as he enjoys “helping” with the chickens. … [Read more...]
