12 New Year’s Resolutions that No One is Making (But Perhaps They Should)
Its that time of year again when people everywhere are setting goals. And it seems that all of these goals pretty much fall into one of three main categories: Get out of debt, organize the house, and get into shape. (No matter how wonderfully they are worded, or with what determination they are set they all seem to fit nicely into one of those three areas.) And while those are all worthy goals, I was thinking that maybe there were some other goals that rarely get set. And these resolutions ... View the Post

But around this time of year we notice (to put it delicately) that we aren't as well off financially as we would have been if we had chosen other career paths. And that makes it difficult to buy gifts for others. Which means year after year we make a pact with each other not to spend any money on ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Let your heart be light….
The other day I was in the car listening to Christmas music mostly because I was in a horrible mood. I was late to where ever I was going (sometimes the story of my life) and so I was yelling at the kids to "hurry up and GET IN THE CAR!!!" ... View the Post
