So here it is Wednesday and I am just getting out this little Tuesday Tip. It’s been one of those weeks when you keep thinking you are one day ahead of yourself. Like Monday is really Tuesday. Which means when I get to Friday in my mind it will only be Thursday and that will …

Today I’ve been invited to participate in a Lenten Blog Tour supporting the new Common English Bible. 41 bloggers offering 41 different thoughts and perspectives. A great opportunity to reflect on a passage that means so much to the green conversation. Here’s Psalm 36 from their translation and a few comments on how this ancient …

Monday. Another week. Another day. Alarm clock blaring. My tired body trying to catch up with my already awake 4 year old. My 7 year old son was also slow to wake up this morning and when he finally found himself upright he immediately asked me if he had school (knowing full well the answer …

So any old SNL fans out there who can throw down the lyrics to “Choppin’ Broccoli”? (click here in case you care to reminisce) Back in the day I caught this SNL skit, where Carvey sings “choppin’ brocco-lay. choppin’ brocco-liy.” And it makes me giggle and laugh every time I am in my garden.

And, that stupid plastic Easter Basket grass will inevitably show …

To travel is to make broaden your horizons or it is to fight incessantly with your family over rest stops and snacks for the …

There was a season in my life when Friday night signaled whooping it up with my friends. When 10:00 PM was too early for going out. When my 21-year old body could dance and jump around in really bad heels and not pay the price. Gone are those days. Fast forward more years that I …

So yesterday my 4 year old and I took a little trip to our local post office. He insisted on kicking and swinging the ropes that frame the maze for standing in line. I consistently told him not to play with them while he blatantly ignored me. I hate those ropes. Our turn came to …

I’m absolutely a product of the 1980′s. From Ferris Bueller to stone washed denim. From neon sweatshirts to jeans I tucked and rolled at the ankles. What I wouldn’t give to have my closet back?! I could make a fortune on eBay as I see the same styles coming back around. Giant earrings anyone? But …
