My friend, Sandra, and I have been struggling with organizing and clutter for years.  We have tried all kind of methods and shared them with each other.  Some worked, others just worked for a short time, and others were dismal failures.  About a year and a half ago, Sandra introduced me to www.flylady.net.  This site [...]

I always say “I hate grocery shopping”.  The truth is its not so bad these days.  Grocery shopping used to be a huge pain.  It would take me an hour and a half criss-crossing the store trying to decide what sounded good to eat for the next week or so.  I would get to the [...]

Today, I was reading the book that the mom’s group at our church is studying, The Power of a Postive Mom by Karol Ladd.  We have been studying one unit each month.  This month’s unit is on “the power of strong relationships”.  The current chapter is about friendships and how important they are to everyone, [...]

I am so excited to have this site up and running!  This has been a dream of mine for quite some time.  Not so much the website, but the opportunity to share that  in this fast paced, hyperlinked, “busy” society – we don’t have to be!!!  How liberating is that?!  We don’t have to do [...]
