Good Fathers

Today wouldn't be complete without a tribute to fathers. I had considered writing a regular ol' post just because I haven't for a while and I wanted to catch up, but instead, I decided itjust wouldn't be right to post anything different on Father's Day. I've had a lovely Father's Day and I think my dad has really enjoyed it too. I bought him a custom photo lighter and he loves it! I also got him a card and baked him a chocolate cake so he's been spoilt rotten this year! I'm a lucky girl. A blessed girl. I have…

Plans Foiled (Again!): Learning to Adjust When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned

Yesterday, my plans were foiled again. While I was working at church, a friend stopped in to visit. I had Princess Anna with me, as she needed to be picked up early from preschool for a short day (they only had preschool graduation practice yesterday).

She's had the sniffles and a cough in the morning and evening hours for about three weeks now, so I figured I…

A Day In the Park

Yesterday was a very eventful (but good!) day.  My intention was to go by the calendar and head for the rail trail in the afternoon/early evening.  That wasn't quite how things worked out, but...as I've said before--some of the best laid plans are foiled.  This foiling turned out okay though. This morning, I dropped Princess Anna off for her very last day of regular preschool this year.  *sniff*  I came home, did as much as I could in forty-five minutes, and left again to help Rapunzel's kindergarten teacher with Watermelon Math Day.  Let me just say...thank God (literally!) for kindergarten teachers!  I don't…

When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned

I have to admit--earlier this week, I was seriously thinking about quitting the blog thing. I'm just not happy with my numbers--no non-spam comments, small number of views, etc. The problem with that is that I'm not in the habit of quitting things easily. I never have been. Well some things. Some things I quit pretty easily--like dieting. Exercising. Okay scratch that, maybe I quit about half of the things in my life, but that's not the point. Getting something started is even more difficult than keeping it going, though. There are always those excuses running through my head: "I…
