Cranberry and Cheese Pinwheels

  I promised I would share all kinds of photos, DIY, and recipes from our 2nd annual Mother’s Day tea last week.  I am starting Monday out with to DIE for tea party appetizers that are SO easy to make and yet look and taste impressive.  It only takes 5 ingredients too!  Before I get to that though, I wanted to share a few other photos of some of the food we had that I won’t be posting recipes for.  I invite you to sit back with a good “cuppa” this week and join in on some elegant tea party … Read the Rest →

I’m Back today with poetry in Five and linking up with my fellow writers at Lisa-Jo’s.   This week’s word of inspiration is SONG.   Before I set the timer for 5 min. to write my poem, I wanted to share with you a little tid bit about myself.     Songs and singing have been a part of who I am since I was very very little.  I can remember always having a little tune in my head as a child and singing in the car and singing at the playground at preschool.  In fact , I would get … Read the Rest →

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day!  I am taking time away from my traditional , more professionally written articles of inspiration, to just casually talk to you about what’s going on.  I have been super busy the past week with some really cool things we did for Mother’s Day  (among other things), and so that is why there hasn’t been an article in the past week (and no FMF poem).   One thing you may (or may not) know about me, is that I LOVE to host theme parties.  Specifically themed TEA parties!  This all started about … Read the Rest →

Chocolate Drop Cookie Recipe

Who wants chocolate?!  Remember my hilarious cookie gone wrong story a few months ago?  It was called “A Crumby Story” and it’s a humor post on my first attempt at making these cookies.  Check it out for a laugh at my expense if you haven’t seen it yet .  I am happy to say that this time I got the cookies right!  I discovered my issue was the use of butter and spelt flour..so um…DON’T use those unless you too want to wind up like a scene from I Love Lucy’s chocolate factory episode.     Back to the recipe! … Read the Rest →

Linking up with my writing friends over at Lisa Jo’s for another FMF.  Today’s word is BRAVE and I am happy to report that I was able to write a poem for you this week in Five minutes (since the last few weeks I have gotten off of my usual writing style).  Today’s poem started out one way and pulled me in a different direction by the end.  It is so interesting to see what happens when you write straight through without stopping to think or back track!  If you have never tried freely writing in a time frame without … Read the Rest →

The Cat That Came to Dinner

Here he is at my Birthday Party this year...

  Over the years we have had all kinds of dinner guests, but lately there is this one guy who is quite hairy.   He started out as a party crasher at birthday dinners & other celebrations only (he knows how to work a crowd), and now he has decided to become a permanent fixture.  I can’t decide if he’s rude or polite- horning in on meals without an invitation.  That is the rude part.  But then again- he DOES sit there ever so quietly-acting all calm and patient.  Plus- he never says a word.  Who can argue with that? … Read the Rest →

Today’s FMF word is FRIEND.  I couldn’t easily turn this word in to poetry once again, but I promise poetry will be back soon!   Go I have to be real with you today, because maybe someone will relate to my story or find comfort in the fact that they are not alone.  The word “friend” didn’t conjure up all happy images for me.  You see, as a child we moved a lot.  I also went through losses and bullying. My story of Friends is a story of repeatedly starting over-again and again.   In younger years it was due … Read the Rest →

You’ll Never Walk Alone-An Inspiring Story of God’s Grace

Here he is napping with his female friend (she is fixed).

Have you ever felt alone?  Loneliness is something we all experience from time to time during our life’s journey.  Where it stems from can vary- maybe you are becoming an empty nester for the first time, or moving away (new kid on the block syndrome) or have suffered the loss of a companion.  Maybe you have even been hurt or abandoned.  Maybe you long for good friends to share life with.  Whatever the circumstance, feeling lonely is a pretty common thing (I guess you could say we are not really alone, as others experience it too ).       … Read the Rest →

Today’s word prompt for 5 min. Fri. is JUMP.  I wasn’t able to do a poem today, because this is what automatically came out instead. That is the mystery of writing on a random word without thinking too much.  Hopefully it will inspire you in some way .  Poetry and strict timing will be back next week (this was more like a 15 min. Friday).  This is why I stick to poetry for FMF lol.  I write too much if I just let words spill out. Go   To get the best results with most anything we pursue in life, … Read the Rest →

Fairy Inspirations

It’s Five Minute Friday and I am back with a poem this week.  Today’s poem is very whimsical, and if you haven’t guessed this about me yet, I am a person who loves a bit of “magic” and whimsy.  It keeps me living inspired!  A random fact about me is that I collect fairies-specifically fairies by Cicely Mary Barker, who happens to be a famous artist from England that did many illustrations of Flower fairies.  My collection is pretty small at this point, as I started collecting them after having a magical fairy garden tea party for my 30th birthday! … Read the Rest →
