(source) Both liZ and I feel like we have been running ragged these last couple of months and with summer break beginning this next week I was trying to think about summer goals. I was thinking about making calendars with an activity to do everyday or a summer "bucket list" or getting bins ready to keep everyone busy. And then it hit me.....I don't want to do any of those things this summer, I just want to slow down. Not that there is anything wrong with summer "bucket lists" or planning ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: It isn’t always about YOU (or me)
Awhile back I was grocery shopping when I saw a woman who lives nearby. Our paths had crossed several times but we didn't really know each other however I decided to go over and say hello. Which I did. Her response was nothing more than eye contact, a blank stare, and her going out of her way to back up her shopping cart and drive it around me. What the heck? I had gone out of my way to talk with her and she totally snubbed me! And from that day on I put her on the ick ... View the Post
