Sage Advice

My Grandfather was one of the wisest men I’ve ever known. He did not boast a wall full of advanced degrees. He was not a world traveler. He did not discover new planets or develop advanced technology. But he was a man who gained wisdom through experience and in turn, was glad to pass on…

TToT – Soft Landing

Our start to the New Year has been a very soft landing. I think I first heard the term used in conversation when one of Kidzilla’s preschool teachers talked about giving the children a “soft landing” routine in the morning. At the time I thought, “OK whatever,” but it’s actually a nice concept. And here in…

TToT – Between the Holidays

So here we are. It’s the end of a year once again and the beginning of a new one waits just ahead. I have been feeling rather reflective the last couple of weeks, even amidst the busy-ness of the holidays. Here between the Christmas and New Year holidays seems a good time to do that. The…

TToT – Enjoying Life!

We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…

TToT – Community

The Fab Hub rolled his eyes and sighed at me when I told him I didn’t know if I had ten things for my list this week. I’m not really sure when my husband the cynic became my husband the positive thinker. But the gesture did serve to make me realize that hearing those words out…

TToT When I’m Not Really Feeling It

It’s not that I don’t feel thankful this week. I absolutely do – for many things. But for some reason I am feeling irritable about posting. I was very excited to get my Soup of the Week posts back up and running, even if this week’s turned out to be a consolation prize because I…

TToT – Summer’s Fast and Final Blast

How can a week go by so quickly and so slowly at the same time? Somehow, these last two weeks have flown by in exactly that manner and Labor Day is upon us. We’ve had a wonderful last bit of summer, even if it did go by a little too quickly. Zilla and I have spent…
