Organizing for Fun in the Sun!

Warm weather is here and you want to perk up your front landscaping with spring flowers, but your tools are in the garage…..somewhere.  Your kids are also ready to grab their bikes, scooters and sports gear for some quality time in the great outdoors.   Instead of  hunting high and low for these warm weather items, take time to sort and organize them so that you can all get to the fun stuff!

The Consequences of Digital Clutter

Now that the holidays are over, you might be wondering if you will ever enjoy the holiday memories you captured with your smartphone, camera or video.  Don’t let them waist away, hidden, never to see the light.  Plan to share those memories!

Thankful for Holiday Traditions

Most of the fun of any holiday season involves the holiday traditions you create with family and friends.  They can be classic, dorky, traditional, silly, unusual, new, out-of-the-box or even strange but they are yours.  They feel like old friends.  Holidays just aren’t the same without them.  Even if you are The Groaner in the group, you would miss those traditions if you skipped them.

Thankfully Scheduled

A weekend getaway with family is always a thankful respite.  Baylor University played Iowa State University in Iowa where my two youngest nieces attend school.  It was bitterly cold, windy & my team didn’t win, but the memories we made are priceless.

One Easy Way to Enjoy Memories Already Made

For Mother’s Day this year and last, I gave my mom the gift of enjoying memories already made. I had a professional transfer our family Super 8s to digital so we could actually see them. The last time the Super 8s made an appearance at Family Movie Night was the spring of 1981.

In Honor of My Military Spouse Mom

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."--A. A. Milne This pretty much sums up my mother’s perspective on life. I jokingly refer to her as the Virgin Mary who married James Dean; DorisDay to Elvis Presley; Pollyanna to Fonzie. The woman in my life who really dosen’t focus on the bad in a situation, rather the possibilities.
