Isn't this a cute little cake? Kudos to Betty Crocker for this cake image. I will keep trying. (Okay, this is actually a story from 6 years ago. Greg and I have been married 9-1/2 years now, so from our perspective, it is vintage). . For awhile Greg has been talking a lot about the … Continue reading Vintage Easter at Our House or the Easter Bunny Cake Faux “Paw”

My Confidence Tool Kit
What is a confidence tool kit? Not all of my tool kits are made to fix visible tasks. Sometimes problems are unseen, hidden away in our hearts. Which is why I have a much needed albeit somewhat hidden, confidence tool kit. With our ever-changing world doing crazy things these days, I find I have to … Continue reading My Confidence Tool Kit
The Hidden Beauty of Adaptations
As I’ve mentioned before, I live in the high desert. We average about 7 inches of rain a year. But most people don’t realize that this wasn’t always the case. Nevada’s Great Basin area was once a giant lake, Lake Lahontan. Lake Lahontan still exists today, but it a mere fraction of its original state. … Continue reading The Hidden Beauty of Adaptations
For the Birds
A few months back my Hubby, Greg was looking in the clearance aisle at one of our local WalMart stores. Greg likes to meander through that area, because you just never what kind of a deal you're are going find. He scored some amazing deals on wild bird food. We are talking really good deals, … Continue reading For the Birds
The Zen of Dog Walking
My dog Avalanche wakes me up bright and early each morning even on the darkest days. He looks at me with expectant eyes. And every morning, I sigh. “Okay,” I say. “I’m coming.” We have a routine. We go for a walk. If he thinks it’s anywhere remotely close to dawn, Avy will remind me … Continue reading The Zen of Dog Walking
Decision Fatigue Pt. 4: Differed or Postponed Decisions
This is probably the primary cause of Decision Fatigue, so I saved it for last. Differed decision making is basically just procrastination. There are times when holding off on a decision can make sense. Maybe we need a little more information to make a knowledgeable choice. Or perhaps it is one of those fun decisions, … Continue reading Decision Fatigue Pt. 4: Differed or Postponed Decisions
Decision Fatigue pt. 2 What’s Really Going On Here?
Decision fatigue is exhausting. It also prevents you from doing day to day tasks, having good experiences and relationships, accomplishing goals, and just feeling like you have a handle on your life. It also can seem like an impossible thing to fix. I mean, who has the time? We do. Our joy requires it. Our … Continue reading Decision Fatigue pt. 2 What’s Really Going On Here?
Decision Fatigue, pt. 1
Note: As I was planning this post, I was just going to write one on the subject. As I was writing this post, I realized that there was no way to do that. I don’t mean to leave you all hanging, as there is so much more to say. It’s just that this writing turned … Continue reading Decision Fatigue, pt. 1
Those Pesky New Year’s Resolutions
Did you do any resolutions for the New Year? How is that going? When I started doing my “reset” last fall, I decided at the time that that was a big enough project for me. Resolutions would be too much to add. I really don’t like resolutions much anyway, even though the beginning of the … Continue reading Those Pesky New Year’s Resolutions
A Life Reset
I know it’s been a while since I posted. Truth is, I haven’t been able to get motivated to write much of anything until just recently. As I look back, I can understand why. 2019 had such major health issues for me. When I started 2020, I was really looking forward to getting back to … Continue reading A Life Reset
