My good friend Janelle is making stamped jewelry that captures the Christian messages of grace, faith, and love. She offered to send me a piece, and I chose “By Grace Alone” for my necklace. I love wearing jewelry thats message is as beautiful as the jewelry itself. Her company is called Grace Tags, and she has [...]
This is my 3rd and final wine review for the California Wine Club, and it is with much sadness and regret that I bid this campaign adieu. I mean, hello, free wine every month!??? That’s my kinda blog campaign! Of course, it doesn’t have to end. Well, the free part does. I’m pretty sure I can’t [...]
Last year I wrote a series of posts called Raising Responsible Kids, and part of that series included tips on helping kids learn money management from a very young age. We instituted a simple allowance system for our kids ages 5, 8 and 11; and while we are still using it over a year later, [...]
This is my second of three reviews of wines from the California Wine Club. I received two bottles again this month — a Pinot Noir and a Gewürztraminer, both from Castoro Cellars. The pinot noir was good. I’m a huge fan of pinot noir, so it went down easy. I put off the drinking of [...]
It is no secret, I enjoy wine. I’m not exactly a connoisseur, but over the years I’ve learned a thing or two, and I have definite opinions about what I like and don’t like. I particularly enjoy having wine with food. The right wine can enhance a meal and helps you slow down and enjoy [...]
It’s that time of year again, and there is nothing I love better than brand new, pristine school supplies! We made a little outing to our local Tar-Jay yesterday to stock up on all the back-to-school essentials and came home with bags of pencils and markers and glue sticks and… my personal favorite… notebooks. If [...]
I met Marybeth Whalen many moons ago on my very first blogger press trip — to Disney World, of all places! She and I made fast friends, and we have kept in touch occasionally ever since. I learned that her dream was to be a fiction author, and after many years of hard work, she [...]
It’s no secret, my favorite indulgence is a nice, fresh, strong mug of coffee — cream, no sugar, thanks. But in the summer heat, there are times that the last thing I need is a steamy hot beverage elevating my body temperature even more. I often order iced coffee in the summertime when I’m out [...]
Heather of Home Ec 101 one of my longtime blogging buddies turned good friends. She and I have been reading each others blogs for years, and she has fast become my go-to resource for any cooking or cleaning related question I may find myself pondering. I use her like Google. I’m not the only one to [...]
I bought my first Britax carseat back when the Roundabout had that funky puzzle-latching mechanism. I guess that means I’m old. Or, at least, my children are. That car seat served us well through all three kids, although I did replace the cover once. When we graduated my oldest to a booster, I bought a [...]
