House of Thoughts
I’m still in love with the Golden Cup and noticed this morning you have to wait for the beep before pouring your first cup of coffee. There are some coffee makers designed to stop brewing when the carafe is removed, but this one doesn’t want it’s flow disrupted and let’s you know when it’s ready.…

Spark Your Heart
I’ve taken time this week to pay attention to what sparks my heart. I went into town for a haircut and walking back to my truck I pondered, “What would water your heart on the way home?” I drove straight to my happy place, Hill Country Water Gardens. Walking through this time of year is…

These Three Cups
There was a bird singing so loudly it was almost disturbing. That could have something to do with watching the old Alfred Hitchcock movie, “Birds” before bed. Since watching that movie, I’ll think twice when seeing a row of crows perched along power lines! 😂 I found this pattern interesting and wanted to write about…

A Full Tank
Being a single Mom and financially stable, may not coexist at first, but it was the most rewarding season of my life. It’s been a long road, but rest assured the road will lead to greener pastures. The journey of the single Mom offers a continual concern over money. We lived in the country and…
