    The Essence of Time

    Last week, I intended to post, but this is one of the months since I began this blogging journey that I have let a week of time pass by without writing here.

    6 Ways I Keep My Sanity With A Busy Schedule

    My daughter is getting married. We are full-on DIY-ers. And we love it. But it is a L.O.T. of work! Coupled with the fact that I have taken a new turn in my career, have two teenage boys that engage in various activities, a husband I enjoy spending as much time as possible with, extended family in the area, and friends I want to see, I've been busy. Sound familiar? It's kind of the way our society works. And yet, I seem to get the question "How DO you do it?" quite often. So,
