It’s Disney week on the blog, and I thought we would start at the beginning of the fun: Telling the kids that they were about to take a trip to Disneyland! It wasn’t hard to keep the trip a secret, since we didn’t know for sure that we were going to be able to swing […]

One of the things I love about this blogging/social media world, is that it allows us to share in each other’s trials and tragedies and lend support and assistance to one another in times of need. Sometimes it is hard to be aware of so much sadness and difficulty in the world, but it always […]

Around the time I initially wrote my post about my word of the year, I was also getting ready to post about the Scentsy Scentrend for 2013. I had been sent a preview of the new Violet Leaf scent along with some other goodies geared toward helping me relax. I thought it was pretty great […]
Serenity: Word for 2013
February 23, 2013 by 6 Comments
I originally wrote this post back in January when most other bloggers were writing about their words of the year. I started second guessing myself before I got around to publishing it, but just read it again, and decided that even if this isn’t the only thing I focus on this year, it is still […]

I’ve been a bit surprised by the popularity of my Valentines Snack Gift Basket post. It has been pinned more than any other post in my five years of blogging. I recently had a request for something similar for teachers, so I dusted off my iambic pentameter and this is what I came up with. Like […]
