Thanks to my brother and this CNN article, I was informed this morning that some well deserved women were being honored, finally, for their brave acts during World War II.   Many of those women trained and graduated at Avenger Village in Sweetwater, TX…..my hometown.
Can you imagine civilian women learning to fly (with no military benefits [...]

Okay, I’m not really wrangling them but I am hoping to attract them with our new hummingbird feeder!  This, in my opinion, is one of the best hummingbird feeders because it’s budget-friendly, super easy to use with the wide mouth top, has a cute little place for the birds to sit on while they drink, [...]

I have to admit, he is freakin’ cute but boy can he give me some attitude.  At three years old mind you!  Notice how he didn’t look away from the camera though, instead he made his little face with those squenched up lips.  He loves the camera so there’s no way he’d turn away.  I [...]

As I struggle through my weight loss journey, I find that eating healthier is clearly my biggest problem.  I’m constantly on the prowl for recipes and snacks that will fill me up and that are tasty.  If you look [...]

What a lovely weekend this was. No twitter, no emails, and no blogging. Nothing but family and a good time. Every year, the owner of the ranch gives us tickets to the PRCA Rodeo in San Angelo, TX. We’ve gone both years we’ve lived here because they put on a heck of show. [...]

I was in Nashville early Feb attending the Blissdom Conference and I have to say that for me this year, it was the best I’ve attended since I started blogging.  It was positive, emotional, and fun.
I spoke at last year’s conference and was quite happy to NOT speak this year.  I don’t do well speaking [...]

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 [...]

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. It was changing me, the competitiveness, the money, all of [...]

Doesn’t it seem like life just passes you by so fast sometimes? Do you have take a moment to look around and reflect on the beauty of the day and the mystery of the night?
It’s easy to do on the ranch but I can imagine how hard it would be for town folk.  I’ve been [...]

Just released from DPS, is this fabulous ebook, Photo Nuts and Bolts, that compiles excellent tips and help for you [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
