Yes Day
I’m sure I’ve said before that God blessed me with an amazingly compliant daughter. As the years go by, we’re realizing that she is compliant to a fault. She does have her very own personality as well as some likes and dislikes. But Reagan is very much a people-pleaser. Many of you that have children…
Read MoreThankfulness Journal #2…And What I’ve Learned About Myself Since New Year’s Day
We are more than 1/3 of the way through 2012. As you may remember, at the end of 2011, I posted a rather lofty list of goals that I wanted to accomplish this year (If you don’t remember, here is the link: http://musings-from-melmac.blogspot.com/2011/12/lotta-mo-betta.html). Here’s what I’ve learned about myself since then. #1: January is one of…
Read MoreThankfulness Journal
As I said in my post about goals for this year, I read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin a couple of months ago. In it, she talked about starting a journal in which she would write down one thing every day that she was thankful for. She wasn’t able to maintain it for the…
Read MoreValentine’s Day? ALREADY?!
Anyone know how I can slow down time? I’ve been meaning to follow up on the post I wrote about this year’s goals, but since it’s close to Valentine’s day, I thought this might be more appropriate. Our anniversary is December 12th. Since it’s so close to Christmas and on the 12th day of December,…

Today I’m going to share with you a yummy experiment from this past Christmas. I was first introduced to the idea of cake balls by accident. I was baking Reagan’s birthday cake last February, and at some point while the cake was in the oven, I realized I had committed the worst of baking sins:…
Read MoreA Lotta Mo Betta
It’s the end of another year. A new one is on it’s heels. Time to assess and adjust. I’m not completely happy with the way my year has gone. I’ve broken promises to myself and others. Life has become a check list. I look forward to marking events off of my calendar, thinking I’ll feel…
Read MoreWhat Christmas Means To Me
Here I go again, stirring things up and asking for trouble. This is a post that I intended to write last Christmas but never got around to it. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to get off my chest for a few years now. As I’ve pointed out many times in my musings, I was…
Read MoreThe Week I Was Stoned
FORWARD:I wrote this nearly a week ago. I was waiting to post it until I knew what the ending to the story would be. Yesterday, December 20th, an X-ray showed that the stone is GONE! I have no idea when it decided to vacate the premises. Instead of doing some editing, I decided to leave…
Read MoreIt’s The Little Things
Yes, it has been a long time since my last post. One of these days, I’m going to get back into the habit of regular blogging. Aywho, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Last year, I posted a list of things I’m thankful for. I’d like to do that again this year, but with a twist. Since my…
Read MoreIn The Hot Seat
As I’ve probably said before, I sing with a fabulous group of ladies called the Metro Nashville Chorus. I’ve become rather involved: Not only am I in the chorus, but I’m also in a quartet, I’m on the music team, and I’m on the management team as the Membership Coordinator. As Membership Coordinator, I decided…
