It takes a mama… Posted on September 9, 2008 I don’t get out much… some, but not much. And, for the most part, I like it that way. O, don’t get me wrong: I love to go places, I love to do things and I love to see new things. But I love being home. When I do go… Read More
It’s idea time… Posted on July 24, 2007 Good morning girls… I received a letter this morning from a representative of At a Glance (day planners) and he alerted me to some “broken links” I have on one of the homemaking pages.
