I’m a BRAND!!!
So, Mondays and Wednesdays I ‘duo’ (it’s a real time camera app on my phone) with Alice while she is buckled in her car seat and the daughter is driving them home. HA!! She can’t get away from me for 15 minutes. HAAAA technology gotta love it. On Wednesday we were talking about her day and I commented “Hey, I like your shirt” (Ya, know looking for more validation of the cute vinyl shirt I made her) Alice: “thank you. It’s a NON Brand” Daughter in front seat: “Wait, didn’t Non make that for you?” Alice: “DUH MOM, IT’s A NON BRAND“ Okay, so now I’m a brand!! HOW hysterical is this kid?? And this months t-shirt request! My Brand How’s your Monday going? I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts) Updating old blog content is a lot like digital archaeology. You head into the archives expecting to dust off a few old tutorials, and you end up unearthing questionable life choices from seven years ago. Between the aggressively over-filtered photos and advice that has aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud. But lately, I haven’t just been fighting my own cringey archives. I’ve been dealing…

Sunday Prayer Request- Please Post Here For Your Weekly Dose Of Support (Unspoken Requests Too)
Happy Sunday little Peanuts! My friend Sonya over at Sonya’s Happenings and I would love to welcome you to our Sunday Prayer Requests. A prayer request doesn’t have to be a formal prayer, it can be as easy as sending warm thoughts or sending words of encouragement. If you are new here; Sunday Prayer List is a way for us to help each other. Sometimes we need a shoulder to cry on. Prayer List is a place we can listen, offer sympathy, encouragement or send prayers, good thoughts and show some love to those in need. The weekly posts aren’t really a religious posts. It’s sending good thoughts, healing thoughts and prayers to those that could use some help. You don’t have to be a religious person to send good thoughts into the universe for your fellow Peanuts as well as the requests from Sonya’s site too. I’m not a real religious person. I was raised Catholic. However, I haven’t been to church in years. I do believe in the higher power of God. I do say my prayers at night. I do believe in the power of prayer. I don’t think prayers need to be formal I think…

RepairSmith the most convenient way to repair and maintain your car.
My Dad was a jack-of-all-trades. He was a precision welder; trust me the man COULD weld! We never called a repairman for anything. EVER. From plumbing to cars, the man could fix everything. Oh my gosh, when it came to cars the man was a genius. I swear, he may have been a mean S.O.B but the man could take the worst car on the road and make it purr like a kitten. My Dad kept cars running wayyyyyyy past their prime. I never stressed about car maintenance; my Dad was my ‘car guy’. But, now days I don’t have that luxury. Now I have to research and plan. Because after you find a ‘car guy’ or garage, you have to juggle their schedule and your schedule. Then when you do find that perfect repair place you give up hours sitting in a lobby with magazines that are 10 years old in uncomfortable chairs watching a TV show that you have no interest in. In other words BORED. OUT. OF. YOUR. MIND. Of course you could find someone to come and get you…… take you back….. ugh….. OR!!! Yup, y’all knew I was going somewhere with this didn’t you? Let’s…

How to Stop Being an Absent Parent
Our kids know when we’re not checked in with them. When we’ve got one eye on the news or one ear on the conversation in the other room when our thoughts are a million miles away or worse when we have one hand on the smartphone. Technology is seductive. We like it. We like the connection that it makes us feel with others and the feeling of control that we get from being on top of the latest information and the fun that it is to keep in constant touch with our friends. It’s time to stop being an absent parent. And technology is really useful for us as parents – it gives us access to all kinds of useful information and also allows us to share our children with far-flung relatives and friends. The important thing is to keep that in perspective and to be present as parents. As parents, we are constantly planning for the future. We’re constantly thinking about all of the things that we have to balance – between bills and housework, keeping our kids safe from potential dangers and providing the best resources for them.
