Life Between Loads of Laundry
A couple of years ago, we decided to try out staying at a rustic cabin in a state park just as a fun family weekend. Before the weekend was even over, the kids were already asking if we could go again the following year. And now, we’ve already made reservations for our third year! This spur of the moment decision three years ago has really turned into a wonderful family tradition for us. In the years we’ve been going, we’ve {Read More}
Many years ago, my Mom and I went on a road trip to meet friends we had met online to go scrapbooking with them. It was on that trip that a still infamous event happened – I got chocolate on my pants. Okay, I know. This doesn’t sounds particularly monumental, does it? But still, ten years later, I still get asked to tell the story of the event. You see, it wasn’t so much that it happened, it was more {Read More}
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. – Henry David Thoreau
This weekend, I had planned to do some writing amongst my other planned activities. After all, we would be at a cabin in the woods and I would have down time with my thoughts and my handy iPad/keyboard combo. It ended up, however, that I didn’t really have much time to write. Instead… 1. We rented paddle boats for an hour. (And had to say more than once, “My legs are on fire” from all the peddling.) 2. Jack, Molly, {Read More}
I think this is possibly the latest that I have posted a Top Ten {Tuesday}. Sorry for those who have come by looking for it. I’m still on recouping mode from my five day trip to Savvy Blogging Summit. While others were talking about their take away goals and already working on them as the new week began, my one goal was visiting with my family and sleeping. My voice is finally coming back from the combination of too much {Read More}
A Quick Reminder: Please remember that if you are linking up to Top Ten {Tuesday}, your post should be a list of ten items. It can be a post that includes a list of some type (with ten items), but it shouldn’t be just a regular post with no list whatsoever. There has been an increase in people linking up with posts that have no list at all. Please know that I’ve been removing links from the link list that {Read More}
I’ve shared all the ins and outs of myself before, so today I thought it would be fun to share a variety of things about me that are a little more fun than the typical fare. 10 Totally Random Things About Angie 1. I have almost maxed out the space on my iPhone because I have too much music on it. This does not stop me from adding more music to it anyway. 2. In the last couple of years, {Read More}
~ 1 ~ This week found my family taking part in a local large groundbreaking ceremony (for a medical facility). While we were initially asked by someone if we were willing to be there to represent residents of the area, it was only after I agreed that I was told that one of us would need to speak for about two minutes. To the company’s credit, they didn’t even ask to know what I was going to say ahead of {Read More}
I’m excited about the list this week, but it was a hard one to come up with. I even needed to send out text messages to family (and post on Facebook) for ideas. Sometimes, it’s just hard to remember what people ask me. So, now that I have ten questions compiled, I’m sharing ten questions that I get asked, as well as the answers to those questions. Ten Things I am Frequently Asked About 1. How do you find the {Read More}
Last year, we took what could be seen as a dream vacation to many people. Can you imagine a whole month looking at a scene like this: Well, you know, except for the entire week when our scenery was more like this: I know, it was pretty sweet. So, it seems really dumb to pick the vacation when asked to write a post about something I would like a do-over on. This idea, as a whole, was hard for me. {Read More}
