Summer is here and I always love to dream about the places I could go and the fun I could have. I am in Maine at this time and loving being with my family. There is a lot to do throughout the state of Maine. But, where I am from, the “excitement” is quite a distance away. We are in …
Whatever Happens in the Dark always comes to Light
The number one thing I said to my kids as they were growing up was, “Whatever happens in the dark always comes to light. So be careful.” When kids are growing up they will tell a fib at one time or another. Most moms can tell when their kids are lying. Kids, you should know that when your mom …
Stubbornness can be a hard pill to swallow
It is getting close to the time where I get to head back home to “The County” where I grew up. We will be having a family reunion this year and I am excited to see our scattered family once again. As you all know, I have a huge family on my mom’s side. They decided it was time …

Take a step back
As I come into this week, I am in awe of how crazy busy we have been. I mean, it was Tuesday and it already felt like we put in a full week and I’m done. I am not exhausted from being tired. I do have a lot of energy, but my brain is done. It is time for me …
Life: the journey you make for yourself
For the last couple of weeks I can’t stop thinking about certain things. You really don’t want to be in my mind, because there are normally 1,000 things going on at once.
