The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! I am a much better Mimz (Grandma) than I was a Mom. That is my true confession. Don’t get me wrong – I was attentive, caring, engaged, and present for my three. Even as a single Mom I was all those traits; however, I went “on tour” for several… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: NOW
Kate said NOW I’m a now kind of gal. If I see it and it needs to be done? DO IT NOW. You see I learned that the hard way by being a procrastinator. But, one sweet day, God got right in my face and said NO MORE NEW PROJECTS UNTIL YOU GET ALL THE… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Less
Kate said LESS This is a no-brainer for me. We just moved into a Tiny House, 399 square feet of living space. We have done two major downsizings since spring of 2018. First, from a small farm and huge woodworking shop to a 1200 square foot downtown flat and now to 399 squares! Talk about… [Read More]

I suppose I should think of what I want to do better in 2019, yet doing that puts a pile of expectation and guilt… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: LOVED
LOVED This week was a lesson in *thinking* of being UNloved. One of the worst feelings in the whole wide world. UN loved = U not loved Awful. I hate when “feelings” get in the way of truth. Truth trumps feelings.every.single.day.every.single.time. God’s Word tells us that Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear. Where does the… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SECRET
Kate said, “SECRET.” I love this photograph – look at the little girl’s eyes! She seems to be delighting in her mom’s secret. I wonder what Mom is telling her. Don’t tell your brother but we are going to have a special girl’s day today. Shhh. You cannot say a word. It’s a secret between… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: OTHER
Kate said, “OTHER.” My routine wasn’t followed because I fell asleep very early last night. As the sun sank below the western mountains, my eyelids followed. There was no other thing to do but sleep. 00:00 Other – interesting word. To refer to someone or something as different or distinct from someone or something else;… [Read More]
