Jell-O and 8 Ways to Improve Communication

by Melissa Leave a Comment

“What? You want me to make Jell-O,” my husband turned and looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I erupted with laughter and informed him I was going to take a SHOWER! Miscommunication is everywhere in our lives. In the case of the Jell-O/shower mix-up, it was funny, but most of the time it is very frustrating! The foundation for every successful relationship needs to include the

Making Organization Work

by Melissa Leave a Comment

A system is only as good as the effort put into it… Those words woke me up this morning. I have a confession to make; I can come up with many ways to get organized, but I’m not always great at following through with keeping things organized. Case in point, my method for managing papers, coupons, etc. has gotten out of control due to neglect. I have placed folders in

    Looking for a quick and cute craft that can be used as a get well, thank you, graduation, or birthday gift? How about a DIY quick and cute candy bouquet?

What is the One Question you Would Ask of a Loved One in Heaven?

by Nora Leave a Comment

What is the One question you would ask of a Loved One in Heaven? It has been a while since I have shared my personal day to day struggles about losing my Dad and my Nanny in the same week.  My Nanny’s passing was expected, but not easy.  My Dad’s passing was completely unexpected, as he was in the ICU, but every test had come back positive and they were

DIY Ribbon Organization

by Nora Leave a Comment

  My son just got a new chest of drawers, freeing up my childhood triple dresser. I couldn’t stand to part with a piece of my childhood, so I wondered how I could repurpose this large furniture piece. Knowing I didn’t need another dresser to store clothing, I decided to use it to store my collection of craft ribbon. I’m a big fan of keeping things under-wraps, out of sight,

Perception is Reality and the Great Yanny Laurel Debate

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Unless you were living under a rock with no wi-fi, you probably participated in the great “Yanny v Laurel” debate. Listen and let us know which word you hear. My friend and I both listened to the recording and were shocked to find that we both heard something COMPLETELY different. How could I hear “Laurel” while she heard “Yanny?!” We both thought the other was joking, because those words really
