There is no problem that a library card can’t solve. -Eleanor Brown September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. If you don’t have a public library card, you should. There are SO many FREE services that your local public library provides. Some of the services I have encountered at public libraries are: I was in…

If you see me running, you should probably run, too!
I miss running. I really do. For a period of about 8 years when I was in my thirties, I was a serious runner. Seriously. I ran half-marathons, 5K’s, you name it. I never went for the full marathon, but in training, I ran close to it. I had a great running partner who is…

When is Mom’s Labor Day?
As I headed home yesterday, the interstate was backed up with cars headed to the beach, the mountains, or some other three day getaway. Glad that I wasn’t in the traffic, but a little jealous of where they may be headed, I picked up my kid. She begged me to head to the local mall….and…

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!
As our Southern summer rolls into a 5 degree cooler preview of Southern fall, the need for a cool treat remains. Today the kid and I visited Sweet Izzy’s. It is a new ice cream parlor that has been in Chapin for about a year. It sits in a little strip mall amongst a restaurant,…

Everyone who knows me knows I love my diet Cherry Cokes. So much so that there is a painting in my office of a diet Cherry Coke can. It was a good-bye gift to me from dear, sweet Margaret; a former student who used to help me in the library. You will rarely see me…

A Flea in Her Ear…
The kid had a new experience this past Saturday…her first trip to the flea market. We visited The Barnyard, located in Lexington. I gave my daughter a little pep talk before we got out of the car: the usual “no stuffies, no junk to add to our junk at home.” She responded that what we…

The Tables Have Turned…
I do love a good portable table. I was taking my dad to an appointment this morning and trying to throw stuff into the backseat so he could sit in the passenger seat. After he made a comment about needing a shovel, I decided it would be advantageous of me to clean up my car…

I feel the need, the need to READ!
With school starting back, it’s inevitable that your kid’s teacher is going to assign “15 minutes of reading” for homework every night. Yes, EVERY night. HOW are you going to fit that in with dinner, soccer practice, gymnastics, AND the ever dreaded math homework?!? For short reading stints, my go-to for kids are magazines. Did…

Only the Lonely…
“Being lonely is not being alone; it’s the feeling that no one cares.” — Unknown Every day on Facebook (my social media guilty pleasure,) I see my friends sharing pictures of their kids, vacations, sports events. BUT…I also see lots of posts about depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Why? Why is everyone so lonely? I know, I…
