Monday Listicles

Today, I am joining up with Stasha‘s weekly “Monday Listicles” (see link below for more information). It’s been way too long! TOP 10 FAVORITE MEALS You can probably guess my heritage by this list. Or, at least the part of it with yummy food. From my German and Danish sides, I pretty much only appreciate […]

Acronyms. So popular in American corporate and texting culture, perfect for those of us who are too lazy to type. At work, I could probably write an entire email with acronyms alone, and most people there would probably understand it. Jennifer suggested that we list our favorites this week for Monday Listicles. I’ll spare you

You have thirty free minutes — no kids, no chores, nowhere in particular to be — to do whatever you want. What do you do? There are so many things I would love to do, and I could use a bunch of these thirty minutes throughout the day. It would be nice to be able

It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for Stasha‘s weekly link-up, Monday Listicles. I’m joining up again this week after a small hiatus. Stasha asked us to tell everyone about the things we have done that have made us feel like superheroes. It made me think, how does a superhero feel? I think they like

I love the topic for Listicles this week (thanks, Wendy!).

Late again for the Listicle party. Sorry, Stasha! This week’s Listicle topic was chosen by Wendy (whose Instagram feed I enjoy daily). I really enjoyed this, looking back and trying to remember what I wanted to be when I was a child. It really made me think about who I was then and who I

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I got a cold for Christmas and spent the whole week (a vacation week from work) hanging around the house in my PJs. I had a million plans for the week, all out the window. But I am choosing to be positive and

As many of us probably are this week, I am writing this week’s list with a very heavy heart.  What happened in my neighbor state of Connecticut last Friday was unbelievable, unbearable.  We can’t believe that someone could do something like that to anyone, let alone kids so little.  But the fact of the matter is,

I was going to cop out of this week’s list meme and make a list about why my son is great. I mean, when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, his response was “A penguin Dream Lite, for Mommy.” How sweet is he? But I talk about how he’s awesome all the time,

Happy Holidays! Although this is a really stressful time of year, it’s also my favorite. Right now, it’s snowing outside, our white lights are sparkling out there, and it’s just gorgeous. I love finding the perfect gifts for people (especially children), but do wish that Christmas were more about family, friends, music, and Jesus than
