Spend some time doing what “fills your pitcher” today! What will you do with your Friday? I have some plans…it may not sound fun to many of you, but I am looking forward to it! I like order, ask my kids and they will claim I am a bit compulsive at times! The fact is, when …
So it is a little cold…get outside anyway!

The weather outside is frightful….well at least cold! Looks like we will be having a winter with more snow and cold than we did last year. I am a fan of snow, and even cold weather, it makes me appreciate the spring. I am not a fan of feeling cooped up, and I remember those days …

TGIF! My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to “playing” a bit this weekend. Even with being an “empty nester” my days get filled with “have to’s”; so a little play time sounds wonderful. I will probably sleep a bit later, savor my morning coffee a bit longer, breathe …

Kaitlyn was a typical toddler, she definitely had an opinion! And her mood would change from moment to moment! You wake up one day, and it is a whole new ball game. You now have a toddler. Toddlers are so much fun, but can also be a challenge. We are not used to our child …

It is Friday, my favorite day of the week! A day that brings me “ahhh” moments as I breathe after a busy week. I am sure that you say, “Breathe?” “My Friday and Saturday is like my Monday!” Sometimes it can feel that way when you have small children at home. Every day you …

Yes, TGIF! It is Fun Friday! Have you ever heard your child say ” but that’s how we always do it!”. Most of us have heard that statement and often we think, “Really? Always?” What our child is telling us is that what we have done in the past made an impact, it was something that was not only fun, …

Enjoy your Friday!! My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to a “date night” tonight. Even with being an “empty nester”, a date night sounds exciting. It is nice to be out and concentrating only on each other and not the pile of laundry that still is sitting in …
Enjoy today……today

Time flies quickly…enjoy each moment. It is a quiet morning…the oldest two are at work and the youngest two left to go back to college after the summer. I am appreciating the quiet because I am trying to enjoy each moment for the moment. But, I remember not too longer ago, sitting in this same …
Oh what a difference a year makes!

From one day to one year, what a difference a year makes! The first few months of my children’s lives sometimes felt like a blur. Parents get VERY little sleep and are just trying to get to know their baby. I can remember feeling that the first year just flew by and all of …
Thank goodness it is Friday!

I just texted my kids the traditional TGIF! It is “Fun Friday” at the Love house. Since the kids were young, we have celebrated Friday. When I say celebrate, I mean that we hooped and hollered, had snacks, ate pizza, maybe even by candlelight, and I had a glass of wine. I am not sure …
