Home Sweet Home Lists Are Tools Posted on April 2, 2018 By pamela After writing last week how I dealt with starting out unprepared, my friend wrote about lists I used to have on my walls.

Thousands of Pictures to Sort Posted on October 30, 2017October 30, 2017 By pamela I’m in the midst of an overwhelming project: I have thousands of pictures to sort. Earlier today I was standing next to a table lined with boxes into which I’m distributing the thousands of pictures. It never seemed like we took a lot of pictures. At the time. What I… Read more
the subtle shift Posted on April 29, 2016April 29, 2016 By pamela January 6, 2006 It’s so subtle and is happening so slowly and smoothly that it’s hardly noticeable to some people—the faint shift from day to day to the acceptance of immorality.

The Hard Life of Young Mamas Posted on April 22, 2016April 22, 2016 By pamela I just read a blog post written by a young mama — a thirty something year old mama.

Comparisonitis Posted on July 22, 2015August 8, 2015 By pamela It sure took me by surprise… hasn’t happened in a long time… and, when it does, it rarely lingers. Except today. Today it lingered awhile and I completely caught off guard. I was busily cleaning an area and reorganizing a bunch of books… I even had a ridiculous Christmas song… Read more

When I awoke this morning, I realized I’d been processing the conference in my dreams all night long. I wondered how many… Read more
A blogger’s loss & gain Posted on April 16, 2015April 16, 2015 By pamela [cp_dropcaps]H[/cp_dropcaps]ardly a week goes by that I don’t think (or mutter aloud) that this or that blog or twitter account will have a crash. In just a matter of time there will be an incident or an avalanche of incidents that will take a blogger to an intersection in her… Read more
