The Year of Determination
I chose the word determination to be my guiding word for 2018 almost a year ago. It seems hard to believe that a year has flown by. Everyone says life goes by faster and faster each year that goes by and I am starting to believe it. My daughter has started college and my son…
Throwing Open My Closet Door
There is an episode of the sitcom “Friends” that is about Monica’s closet. Monica is super organized and obsessed with cleaning but she has one secret closet that no one has ever seen because it is her messy closet. I realized the other day I have one of those. I have been slowly getting our…
What Happened With this Post? Watermelon and Feta Salad with Balsamic Reduction
When I started looking at my stats over the past week or so I noticed a HUGE spike. My numbers are usually fairly consistent so I had to dig around to see what happened. This post for Watermelon and Feta Salad with Balsamic Reduction (click for link to original post) was recently saved over 100…
Real Neat Blog Award
I normally do not do these awards but I have been struggling lately and though this may be a fun way to kick-start me back into writing more. It is taking the time to physically sit down and actually write my blog that seems to be the issue. I am keeping myself too busy lately…
Wow! What I Have Learned in 5 Years of Blogging
I actually began this blog in 2012 but didn’t really start writing until the following year. 2012 was a year of turmoil for us. We got married (again, legally this time), my partner lost her job in a company buy-out, she got a new job in Michigan, we moved 600 miles to a super small…
How are Your New Year Goals Going? Determination!
So now that we are a three weeks into January how are those goals going? Have you totally abandoned them yet? Now is the time to adjust and make them something you can live with rather than far-reaching unrealistic expectations. Writing your blog every single day? Increasing your presence on social media? Facebook? Twitter? or…
Smashing My Blog Goals and Setting New Ones
I have so much to say thank you to all of you for. Every year I set goals for my blog in how I want to do things and yes, even the dreaded numbers. Despite a computer crash in September and being only able to post using my phone and tablet I kept going. Lots…
My Most Popular Posts of 2017 and Blog Share!
The title of this is the best of 2017 but I guess it should be the most popular posts of 2017. One of my top recipes this year has been for the Reuben Style Hawaiian Slider Sandwiches from June 2016 (click for link to original post). These little sliders are still my favorite of all…
Purposefully to a New Touchstone
Rather than make resolutions for the past few years I have chosen a guiding word that I try to focus my mind and energy on each year. My guiding word for this year has been purposefully. It was the word I chose last December to be the guiding force for my decisions and life this…
Thank You to Each and Everyone of You!
Google images: Today is a big day for my blog. Today I will surpass the total number of views, likes, and visitors from 2016. Thank you to each and every one of you who stopped by, liked and commented on my blog. It truly means so much to me! I know as bloggers we try…
A Different Perspective
I went to see “Field of Dreams” at our local cinema this week. I had a vague recollection of seeing this movie when it first came out in 1989. I knew, “If you build it they will come,” and that it was about fulfilling your destiny. But, as I watched the movie I sat and…
