Happy Friday and happy midway through February! The month is now half over. Which is good news if you’re a lover of Spring. Which I am. [yay!] I actually made cinnamon roll flapjacks for my kids this morning. In honor of son Jamie being home from college. And in honor of a holiday I’m not … More Flapjack Friday Faves [02.14]
Where I’m going is not necessarily up to me. Unless. Unless I disregard the good of all others but myself. Then I can decide. I’ve always wondered why everyone doesn’t live in San Diego. It was six degrees in my town this morning. Why would I choose to be here? I am a warm weather … More where?
This morning my daughter and I celebrated the recent news of her foreign exchange placement. She is going to the Czech Republic next school year. She is excited and relieved to finally know where she’ll spend her year abroad, as am I and the rest of our family. We had croissants at National Boulangerie, a … More celebration in the midst
I think after a person feels a certain way for so long, she eventually has to tell herself to stop. Or at least she has to try to stop. You can only run so far in one direction, right? Eventually you’ve got to turn around and head home. But at the moment I convince myself … More crazed and confused

When my daughter mentions that some compare One Direction with The Beatles…..I cringe. But this post is not really about the Fab Four. The reason I mention them is their song, All You Need Is Love, … More love {aka all you need}
This is the harshest January I remember. It’s beyond cold outside. The ground is covered in snow. Navigating the streets is not easy. More harsh weather is forecasted. Like the outdoor elements, I am cold myself. Figuratively freezing inside, like a brisk wind is blowing through my mind. Frazzled, feeling like something fragile that’s … More brisk
Tonight I find myself alone. Not necessarily by choice, but by circumstance. But I’m choosing not to complain. I’m instead deciding to utilize the time in doing things I enjoy. Yesterday I bought a canvas with the intent of creating a wall hanging for my bathroom. There’s a piece of wall up there that I’ve … More a blank canvas
TGIF and all that jazz. ♪♫♪♫♪♫ There’s one week to go in January. Pardon me if you like it, but January is my least favorite month and this particular January could actually be might least favorite month EVER. Let me rephrase that….. January 2014 is my least favorite month ever, so far. And, when someone … More Flapjack Friday Faves [01.24]
Happy Friday. It’s already the 10th of January! We are 1/3 done with the coldest month. I suppose that’s good news for those of us who don’t like the whole Polar Vortex deal, of which I’m one. I feel this has been a week of odd news. Click on the links below if you’re interested: … More Flapjack Friday Faves [01.10]
