Out of the past twenty days, my Dad has had three brain surgeries… is due for one more… and has been hospitalized for thirteen days out of those twenty. We are still looking at another five to fourteen days until the infectious disease doctors release him for his final surgery. I am certain he is going to come out of this happy and well, but I am concerned for his medical well being at home. He is a proud man and will deny there is something … [Read more...]
Uprinting.com Spread Your Message | #WIN a Kindle Fire Book Reader–Tablet Combo | #GIVEAWAY | [CLOSED]
by
I’ve recently been in the market for printing services and have done my fair share of searching. I found a great resource at Uprinting and I thought I should share it! Before I was a blogger, I carried “family” cards. I always got surprised looks and “Why haven’t I thought of that?!” remarks when I would hand one to a new acquaintance. I knew from experience that hand written numbers on torn off shreds of paper tend to get lost easily. … [Read more...]
Small “Wins” Lead to a Successful Day & Future | Quaker Oatmeal
I’ve learned that making New Years Resolutions just don’t work for me. I begin the year with every good intention… but things happen, I get sidetracked or I plain old lose my willpower. This year I have started making small lifestyle changes instead of one huge resolution. My first change is to start thinking of myself… sometimes even before the family (*gasp*). I start first thing in the morning. If I can grab a quick shower and … [Read more...]

Many people visit counselors, psychologists and other medical professionals to listen to them, give advice or prescribe medication to … [Read more...]

Capture The Moment With Your Smart Phone
by 4 Comments
I’ve mentioned before how helpful my smart phone is in keeping me connected and organized while out of the house. There is another aspect of my smart phone that I adore… the camera. I used to miss so many important or spontaneously cute moments because my point and shoot camera wasn’t near by. I always had good intentions, but carrying multiple electronic items just isn’t feasible. My smart phone has a rather decent camera on it that allows me … [Read more...]
