a year of ideas from my house to yours
People ask me all the time what I love most about blogging. That’s such an easy question to answer! It’s the connections. It’s meeting people that you would never have met without it. People who touch your life in ways that you never expected.

Do you remember the old hit song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want?” That song has been on repeat in my mind for days. I’ve been lamenting the fact that we are halfway through the summer and I haven’t seen the ocean since last August. To me, nothing is as beautiful as the sun glistening on the water. Work and other obligations have kept us here so far this year and it has been a bit depressing. But today, I finally pushed the pause button and instead, I decided to look for the beauty that surrounds us all in our own back yards.

Amazon Prime Day is almost here! I, for one, cannot wait. I will be shopping for birthdays, Christmas, and so many things I’ve put off buying waiting for this day. For those who somehow made it through 2020 without a Prime membership, let me explain how this all works.

For those of you who follow the blog, you know My Home of All Seasons is here in Colorado. While I wasn’t born and raised here, it has been my home since 1982. I do not have the “native” bumper sticker with the mountains in the background on my car. I list Ohio as my birthplace on all paperwork. But both my children were born here and to me, it is most definitely Home.

While I was putting together my spring cleaning checklist this year, I found myself thinking it would be so nice if I could do some spring cleaning within myself and not just my home.

Among the things that scare me, at the top of my list are bridges. I’ve always hated them and it seems to get worse the older I get. However, I refuse to let that fear keep me from the places I want to go. This morning I wanted more than anything to take a walk around Coronado.

Thank you to all the people who came up with the memes that brought a moment of laughter to so many during such an awful time. Those silly little memes that gave a frontline worker a tiny reprieve from the endless suffering they have witnessed. Maybe reminded someone who was alone that others were out there feeling the same things. We will be forever grateful! Here are some of my favorites:

Mother’s day is always such a wonderful time! But I know…this is a strange one to say the least. If you do not live with your mom, this will be a hard one to take. As a daughter, I miss my mother who left us several years ago, every single day. As a mom, I miss my child who no longer lives nearby just as much. I am, however, incredibly blessed to have one of my children right here with me. So many moms will be alone this year.

Although the stay at home orders are being relaxed in so many places, social distancing is still very much encouraged. It is looking like we will need to find ways to amuse ourselves awhile longer. With that in mind, I have put together a list of 20 of the most fun and educational websites for both kids and adults.

Ok be honest…who hasn’t said this at least 10 times in the last 2 weeks??? Just FYI- they miss you too. When I called my stylist to ask her if she would be willing to write the following guest post, she told me that this has been the hardest time of her career. She explained to me that for years her days have been spent talking with people and building relationships and then one day it just ended. Abruptly to say the least! They joined the ranks of the unemployed and immediately lost all contact with so many people all at once. So yes…they miss us too.
