Evolving Through Relationships

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Evolving Through Relationships Relationships change throughout our lives, and looking back, I have noticed a shift in the types of people with whom I choose to spend time. Relationships when I was young could be classified as relationships of convenience; those who were close by with a shared interest. We were neighbors, played on the same teams, went to the same church, were involved with the same extra-curricular activities; etc.

Be Like a Duck

by Melissa 2 Comments

Be Like a Duck, or at Least Like My Daughter’s Basketball Team “Be like a duck” is one of my favorite expressions I use to convey the need to be calm on the surface and not let things bother us.

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Ease Stress with Tension Rods I am always looking for ways to get and stay organized. Being able to easily see what I have saves me time and money. When I can grab and go, I am more efficient, and when I know what I have, I save money by not buying duplicates of the same items.

Summer is for Sleeping In AND Life Lessons

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Summer is for Sleeping In and Life Lessons Kids look forward to summer all year long. The reward of long days spent sleeping late, lounging, and having fun without a schedule or homework keeps them focused just enough on completing their work during the school year. Kids need time to unwind and deserve a break. However, they don’t have to stop learning. The hustle and bustle of school, part-time jobs,
