I’m linking up today with Happy Fit Mama for a day in my life. As you may recall from my review of Garuka Bars, I won a giveaway on her site a while ago. It is not something that I have not written about before. You can read all about a Day in the Life… Continue reading A Day in the Life: Adult Children
I’ve written about my journey to a healthy lifestyle many times. I think I may be up to a part four when I write about it again. I did, though, just realize that maybe I should really think of this healthy living as more of a journey than I have in the past. I should… Continue reading Life’s Journeys
Still not quite number 6’s exact birthday time. He would say I couldn’t tell him what the time is and he is probably right. I can give ball park times of all six kids but no exact times, except maybe the twins. Pregnancy number five had been tough. I had horrible blood pressure problems. My… Continue reading 19 Years Ago
No, I did not haul out of town last week. What? Miss the hottest week of the year? Not likely. I just took a slight blogging break. Can I explain why? Possibly but no concrete reason. With all of last week’s heat came a laziness. There lies the underlying cause of no blog posts last… Continue reading Summer Break

As a parent and a person who is involved in education, I am struck by the lose of potential any time a young person makes a bad… Continue reading Some Parenting Lessons from Steubenville
No, silly, not me! My father would have been 75 today if he was still alive. He died just two days after his 71st birthday. Lately, I have been thinking about him a lot but for very odd reasons. WEBO Radio had an open house in the fall. I was going to try… Continue reading 75 Today
I feel like I have been floundering by not planning out weekly meals. I have not ever planned all the meals of the day but I do plan out dinner for the week. Today, inspired by Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean, I set about to get back to meal planning – and as is… Continue reading Meal Planning
Just a caveat. These are my personal opinions. None of these are the opinions of the board of education of which I am a member. The month of January has been a very busy month for education in New York State. Three important events have happened. First, a commission appointed by the governor on education… Continue reading State of Education in New York
