A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That

First off, I wanted to say thank you for the nice comments. If anyone has noticed, aside from yesterday’s rant, I hadn’t posted since Jan 24th.  I have a lot on my mind, the direction I want to take, and just spending more time with family doing things I used to do before I started [...]

You Make Me Want to Quit

When I first started blogging, my goals were to make money, period.  And I did.  In no time, I was in the top 50 money making blogs along with some very well respected affiliate marketers.  But then,  I realized it was taking over my life.

His Work Ethic

His Work Ethic

Every since Tyler was little, he’s always had this incredible work ethic. He’s also pretty strong. I can still remember when he was 6mths old, pulling himself out of the swing,holding on the side of the sofa. We had a wooden sofa with cushions. He was just hanging there…I couldn’t believe it. Then [...]

The Hole in My Heart

I’ve always been the strong one.   Ask my mom or my brother. They know.  But there are times when I buckle.  Like now.  My very very good friend Arianne has lost her baby, a feeling I know too well.  The funny thing is, I’ve never really ever talked about my loss until today.  I found [...]

Handmade Chihuahua Spurs for LB

It’s been a while since I’ve showed off my husband’s work, mostly due to him not building anything lately but he had this one pair of spurs to build.  This one pair that he was dreading because he doesn’t really take orders for Chihuahua spurs ’cause, well, they’re sort of a pain to build.  I [...]

A Year of Reflections, with Words and Photos

Wow, what a year this has been for me on and offline. I can’t imagine that 2010 will even compare but I’d be tickled if it did. When I first started blogging, I never expected to fall in love with it like I did. I never expected to find myself blessed with the [...]

With only ten days until Christmas, it’s with a heavy heart that I am sharing the news of Shellie’s tragic loss. The loss of her 2 yr old son, who drowned in their pool—in their new home where they just moved to.    Having had the scare of a lifetime myself, I cannot even imagine [...]
