Well, we survived another night of goulish Halloween fun. Taylor couldn’t decide what to be - he really wanted to be Spiderman and he really wanted to be Superman so we compromised and he became “SuperSpidy” with a Spiderman top and Superman cape. Cidnie decided she didn’t want to wear the Daphne wig and gave in to mom’s “poofing” of the hair. She was especially proud of her pink glitter fingernails with black cat designs. Even the pooch joined the fun this year.

And more that I wish I had time to do — like blog! Today is going to be nuts so I have just a few minutes this morning. Otherwise, the costumes and treats won’t make it to the school on time, the salad and BBQ won’t get done for tonight’s party in the cul-de-sac and the site of my house will cause everyone to shriek!

But I had to take a moment to share a few things from yesterday: (more…)

Two areas that have really been bugging me lately are food and money. And by bugging, I mean always thinking about and kicking myself for not doing better.

A few weeks ago I wrote my lamentations on the education system. Today I had parent teacher conferences and I have to take a moment to add this to those thoughts.

I’m a perfectionist when it comes to tasks I take on. It’s good and bad. Home decorating becomes a woe for me because I want whatever I’m working on to match the image I created in my head. Often I will delay getting started because I haven’t yet finished that picture in my head so I’m not sure what I want FOR SURE yet. Other times it comes together rather quickly - like my daughter’s bedroom.

This morning my mom shared this fun little movie with me. It’s a thought provoker about how we think of this life. I thought it was worthy of sharing here. It’s not that long but it is inspiring and worthy of a few minutes of your time. It caused me to reflect on my own life and learnings too.

I can’t begin to enumerate the times growing up I heard my dad say this. This morning, I had an experience that reminded me of it.

This week I made it to my yard. It’s the first time since we moved in this summer, and if you’ve never experienced Arizona weather you wouldn’t know that it is just now becoming gardening/outside weather here.

Today’s tip is another double header for content and meaning. It’s on maintenance and pruning.

Okay, it’s been a few weeks since we did one of these but this one just seemed appropriate after last night. ;o) As always reading my husband’s version gave me a chuckle - hope it does for you too.
