    Five Years and Counting…

    February 21, 2019 /4 Comments

    Recently, the five year anniversary of this blog came and went. I meant to celebrate it but somehow things got a little crazy in my life. Which has become the norm I think. I want to believe that things will settle down but I’m not even sure what that means. Back to the anniversary, it was 5 years ago on February 13th when I published my first blog post. I remember feeling sick to my stomach as I clicked on the publish button. I’d been taking a class on blogging and I thought I was ready. In retrospect, I’m not sure I was.

    Friday Five: Lessons Learned While Building

    August 28, 2015 /2 Comments

     If you look around, lessons can be learned in everything. No matter how old you get, there is always something to be learned. My husband and I are building a place or me to write and it’s been an interesting experience. I’ve learned a lot about actually building and as I thought about it, life. Here are some lessons: 1. Gather everything you need for before you begin – It took us two trips to the home improvement store to get the needed supplies. 2. Having a second pair of hands makes the work go faster – At times I didn’t know if I was holding up the process, or…
