Hey hey hey! I started the Weekly Ramble way back in 2010. It’s had many iterations over the last decade and a half, but it’s currently on the blog every Friday.
I’m a Christian, wife, mother, homemaker, (retired) homeschooler, open nester, and writer. Here’s what’s been on my mind:
Back with the latest on what I’m doing, eating, listening, reading, and writing. This week let’s chat the virtue of Prudence, the importance of meal prep, what makes a good love song, the romance genre, and being meaningful. The week has just flown by. Monday was a holiday for some of our regular activities but not…
Hello, Hi, How are you? In this week’s Ramble, let’s chat midweek tweaks to make life easier, weight vests, podcasts, romcom, and the delayed gratification involved in writing fiction. I’m stunned that February is half over. It feels like the year just started at the same time as feel miles away. The year has already…
Hello, Hi, How are you? It’s been a couple weeks, so let’s catch up, shall we? On the docket today: new seasons, seeking wisdom, and a new project. January was a squishy month for us, recovering and debriefing from the holidays, gearing up for Disneyland, and then a slow slide into the spring semester and…
Hello and Happy Weekend! I wish I could say that we’re cozy and warm here, but it’s 66 in the house and I am resisting turning on the furnace. Let’s warm ourselves with this picture of the sunrise I took earlier this week. 🌞 Last winter I was on the balcony almost every morning watching…
Whew! What a week! Let’s chat Disneyland, giving things to God, being there for your adult children, and reading interesting books. What We Did This Week Isn’t that a fun juxtaposition? On the top you see Bryan and I this week at Disneyland, and on the bottom the baby-faced, pre-kid versions of us, also at…
Oh the days are just packed, aren’t they? Let’s talk keeping house and keeping up, and just where is all the time going? I don’t know about you, but I feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day — to do the bare minimum. I have lamented this for awhile. Why can’t I…
Hello and welcome to 2025! Let’s chat fresh starts, re-solutions, and eating frogs. I’m currently in a Starbucks in my hometown enjoying my favorite January beverage. Prepare for a stream of conscious type of ramble. Now that Starbucks is such a rarity for me, I’ve realized that the Pistachio line of drinks is my ultimate…
Well, hello! We’ve had a few busy weeks, both on the home front and in the business. I’ve been developing new products that I’m really excited about. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the Holiday Blitz. I’ve organized all the meal planning and recipe inspo you need for the month, from make-ahead…
Hello, Hi, How are you? Are you ready for the time change? Don’t forget to turn the clock back tonight when you go to sleep. I didn’t get as many sunrises or as much light exposure as I would have liked this week. Here’s hoping the time change doesn’t kick my tail! Thankfully, the early…
Hello, Hi, How are you? I’m doing okay! I’m on a 93-day step streak that feels exciting. Granted, I did lower my target to 7500 which is just as good as 10k according to several different studies, but I’m still moving every day. I will probably up the goal to 10,000 steps once I get…
