Valentine's Day is this week and I know we will all be out shopping trying to find Valentine's Day gifts for our sweethearts. But I want to challenge you to be sure and show yourself love.

I wanted to write this post for all of my dear white friends and followers who seek to have a better understanding of the issue of race and want to help be a part of the change. Here are several books, movies, and other resources for you and your families.

I've struggled with writing this post. Since the senseless cop killing of Geoge Floyd took place, I have watched the news 24/7 and have not slept much. Not only because of how tragic this loss is to the black community but also because it's in my own backyard.

Yesterday was a bittersweet day for me. It was my son's last day of school. My youngest, my baby, has graduated and I can't tell you enough how proud I am of him!

Happy April! Spring has sprung and it's time to spring clean our homes. Oh, the joy!

It's been almost a week since our schools have shut down and bars, restaurants, and some stores and daycares have followed suit. Even our beloved Mall of America shut down yesterday.

By now we have all heard that the Coronavirus is here and Covid 19 has made it to a few of our states. Panic buying has started which has cause pandemonium in stores like Cosco and many stores are out of everyday essentials.

I celebrated my birthday a few days ago. But having a winter birthday sometimes means I'm confined to my house. Just last year, we had a polar vertex with air temperatures in the -20 range. Brrr!
