Over the years I have been so against a criminal having an attorney.  I thought "Yeah, right, what does a criminal need an attorney for?"  But you know what, everyone deserves a fair trial.  And that is what brings me here today.  You really don't have to do a crime to be accused of one.  Now that makes me really think about being accused of something that I really didn't do. Here's one for you:  Traffic Offense.  Yeah - most of us drive.  If your offense happens in California, I recommend a... Read Full Story

I have been straddling the fence for some time now about Bird Watching.  Well...not anymore.  And besides just being a plain out smart decision, our youngest child gets school credit for for it.  The first thing we did was to get him his very own binoculars for Christmas.  And it has just grown from there.  Here's more of what's going on... A great birdhouse and bird feeder are very helpful. And with the houses and the feeders, we don't need the binoculars as much.  We love to watch the birds... Read Full Story

We have been doing a little sprucing up around the place. Ok - I admit it - it's called remodeling. Yes we are also joining others and getting on the organizing band wagon too. And that brings me to this... In our adventure of remodeling we discovered a wonderful place for all of our remodeling ideas.  What a discovery that was too! If you are thinking about remodeling go and take a look at all they have to offer.  I can't plan things out and make my thoughts come together but they sure can... Read Full Story

Oh how I loved summers long ago.  Summers that made me say "YES" I will have a pool when I grow up!  My friend Becky and I lived in the pool.  Ok - not really lived in it but we stayed in the pool long enough that our parents thought we would grow fins and gills.  We never did grow either and we are both thankful for that.  And that's a good thing because the water was so sparkly and clear that anyone could have seen our fins and gills.  Becky's dad was the one that kept the pool so sparkly...

Sissy told me about Just Energy Texas Electricity Provider when I moved here which was good because I was just totally overwhelmed trying to get this house in order. I love a clean home but since this place was brand new it was already clean – but it was too white! I had to paint some stuff to make it pop and I had to go out and buy a lot of fabric to make curtains and fix everything up. I don’t know why but this place just has no character which drives me crazy – I feel like I need to work... Read Full Story

that I can do it all! Felt and a little elf costume got me to thinking.  Thinking about some adorable little things to make and maybe even sell.  But there is no time.  No time at all.  What to do?!  Start now!  If I start now, I will (maybe) ready for next year.  Would that just be awesome if I were actually ready for next year?!  Yeah! Ok - here is what I'm thinking... My youngest son loves crafts.  He wants to learn everything that I know how to do.  Knit, crochet, sew, stitch, glue or... Read Full Story

I know somebody somewhere thinks I sit around watching soap operas all day and that I never get anything done.  Well you know what? They are wrong.  Some days I never get anything done but it isn't because I sit around watching soap operas.  So...here is a little bit of what I do... These things are not in order of how they were done.  Sometimes in a world of chaos, we just take things as they come, order or no order. We moved a chicken house.  I crocheted a few (at least 75) flowers for a... Read Full Story

Tomorrow is our Christmas party at church and...they want us in costume "if possible". "If possible"?  Well of course it's possible.  I just had to think and think and think some more...Until, I finally found this website and here is what I did... How to make an elf or Peter Pan costume Read Full Story

According to Urban Dictionary a Dingbat is... A weird thing, person or situation, a person considered stupid or foolish. A set of fonts showing pictures instead of letters. Someone who attempts to provide a definition of the word "Dingbat" and misspells the word "retarded" in his or her definition. A term used to describe a person (often a woman) who does not think before acting and most times acts on pure impulse. Yes there are a few others there too, but...we need to recognize other...
