Brush Your Teeth With Chocolate!

Okay, I know this is not dentist-approved, but let’s think about it a while. Has anyone out there ever tested it? Thought not. Well, I have. If I’ve just eaten, or if my mouth is less than satisfactory to me in any way, I love using chocolate for an emergency remedy.

Good morning!

Let me ask you: Do you wade into laundry chores with a smile?

I thought not.

I’ve recently taken up a challenge to teach someone to love ironing. Not sure I can succeed, but wondered if anyone out there is as crazy as I am, and actually loves to do ironing.

The Haitian government estimated 220,000 died in the 2010 earthquake. Over 5,000 died in the Philippine typhoon last November. Around 230,000 died in the Boxing Day tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Big numbers.Continue reading “Big Numbers from Little Ones”

Been Muddin’

Another WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge I just returned from a ladies’ conference on top of a beautiful mountain in Arkansas with outstanding scenery. It was raining. But that’s not all. The road up the side of this mountain is normally composed of the natural rock we naturally find under the scant soil of mountainsides. ThisContinue reading “Been Muddin’”
