Four Plus an Angel by Jessica Watson
Life after loss with one with autism, two surviving triplets and a rainbow baby
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine homeschooling would become wildly popular because of a pandemic. We’ve been homeschooling for years and years and years and, as much as I didn’t think I knew what I was doing, people are asking me all kinds of questions and I have answers! Maybe I do know […]
When you were young you were colicky, both of you were. I mean I think that’s what it was. At 6 pm every evening one of you would start crying and cry and cry for hours. Your dad would walk in the door from work, swing his tie over the shoulder of his suit jacket […]
This post and others like it may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support. I’ve been reading like crazy this year. Usually I’m freaking out in December about meeting my Goodreads goal but this year I was in the home stretch by July. To justify my crazy habit I figured I better give you […]
This post contains affiliate links. I’ve been doing almost all of my shopping on Amazon lately. I feel like I’ve got the hang of what brands are decent, where to find good prices and how to make sure my packages won’t first be touring the world for 80 days. The part of my mind that […]
I discovered podcasts a few years ago when I was in the middle of deep cleaning our house for a move. I kept hearing people talk about a podcast called Serial. I figured I would try to figure out how to listen to these things and if I actually liked them while I had hours […]
Her car rolled past my house pushing three miles per hour, partly because she’s nearly 90 and partly because she was coming to a stop two doors down.

I was compensated to share my thoughts and feelings about Henry Ford Health System but all thoughts expressed are my own. My grandmother turned 90 in July. For her 90th birthday present all of the grandkids put together a video of our favorite memories with Grandma. The memories ranged from special trips for ice cream […]
With my youngest now seven, I can open the door to our car and my kids all just get in and when I cook dinner there’s a decent chance I’ll get to eat it while it’s hot. My kids are all aging out of the neediest* part of their childhood and as much as I worried about […]
We went to see Suessical last weekend. In case you don’t know the storyline it’s about Horton, an elephant with a big imagination, who connects to a Who named JoJo with an imagination the same size. JoJo lives in Whoville, a town the size of a spec on a clover, so no one believes Horton when he tells them […]
