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.

Many of us have probably developed some bad habits since we have grown and flown from the nest, and we may need to refresh our organizing skills from time to time, but we have Mom to thank for laying the groundwork for us to be tidy individuals. In honor of all the Mom’s out there on Mother’s Day this year, let’s take a look at all the wonderful ways they have taught us how to stay organized.

Don’t throw your clothes on the floor! Put them in the hamper…or better yet, do a load of your own laundry and fold it, too!

Merry Christmas!

With only 4 more days until Christmas, the anticipation of visiting with family & friends, eating your favorite holiday dish & seeing that one special gift opened hopefully have you humming your favorite Christmas tune. However, if the traffic, congestion, massive To Do List, wrapping & cooking have you beat, just remember it will all be over soon.

My wish for you this week is to see your family & friends with all their faults & like them anyway, relish the chaos of too many people at one table, speak about those missing from your table with misty eyes & love, enjoy giving your gifts more than receiving, & to take a deep breath while counting your blessings.

Merry Christmas!

For those of you ...
