Bad News for Guys Around the World
I found myself laughing out loud as I read Phil Callaway's newsletter. He's a hilarious speaker and author that I met a few years ago at a writing retreat. Here's what he wrote: I heard an ad on the radio today that said a diamond is a girl’s best friend, which is ridiculous. Chocolate is. There’s a new study out that lists women’s passions. Chocolate was #1. Men, I believe, were #3. I can’t quite remember,... [Read More...]
Friday Twitter Roundup
Throughout the week I find so many interesting links, articles, giveaways, and other great stuff on Twitter that I thought I'd share some of the highlights. Enjoy! 1—The world says, "Seeing is believing." God says, "Believing is seeing." My thought: What do you need to believe today so that you can see it tomorrow. 2—Inspiration revealed. Chris Brogan shares where he gets inspiration and offers resources... [Read More...]
Flashbacks Can Be Fun!
Visiting with and reconnecting with old friends can be such a blast from the past. It's something I've been enjoying all week. Talking about memories we have from various time periods, including the hair and fashion train wrecks from the 80's! Remember when it was cool to have 2 or 3, maybe even 4 piercings in one ear. Not so cool anymore. But seems like the younger generation has taken what we thought was cool at the time and gone to... [Read More...]
80’s Flashback in Song and Dance
What was it about the 80's that made it so memorable? The bright colors, the rainbow leg warmers, the blue eyeshadow? There are too many "bad" style choices to even mention. But, they make for an interesting and colorful dance performance… as we found out a few weeks ago. I mentioned earlier that our daughter was taking hip hop from Mr. B at her dance school. Yes, he really goes by Mr. B. Seems appropriate for a hip hop teacher.... [Read More...]
What I Learned From Teens…
I read this great list from Tricia Goyer in her newsletter this week and thought I'd share it with you. What would you add? 10. When you don't feel like cooking you can order pizza and make everyone happy. 9. The words "Great job, son!" still makes my son's face glow like they did when I gave him praise for no pee-pee in underwear when he was two. 8. The fabric cutting and button sewing skills...

Touch, touch, touch, touch…
I was recently sent a link to a hilarious video made by Greenpeace. It's a spoof on the Kleenex commercials. Gotta watch. Then take action…just takes a little bit from all of us to make a big difference. Recommended: Fluff Out, Seventh Generation, Natural Value, 365. The full Greenpeace Recycled Tissue and Toilet Paper guide can be found at www.greenpeace.org/tissueguide. Here are the details: Kleenex's "What a... [Read More...]
50 Famous Parental Sayings by Andy Andrews
Watched a hilarious pick me up today. I've seen a woman do something similar in song, but it's funny hearing it from a dad's perspective. Hard to keep up with him he's so fast. Take a look and enjoy! The speaker, Andy Andrews is also an author who just released a new book and launched a project called The Noticer. The Noticer Project is a worldwide movement to "notice" the five most influential people in your life!... [Read More...]
