Like so many people today, my income has been drastically reduced in recent years. I have given up a lot of former luxuries and have adjusted pretty well, all things considered.

Our entire family loves to drink Iced Coffee, so it was a family affair when we recently got to opportunity to taste test the new International Delight Iced Coffee in the flavors Mocha, Vanilla and Original. The older kids really enjoy Iced Coffee and Becca has even said it's her new chocolate milk.Fortunately, we got a big half gallon jug of each flavor to try. It was really exciting when the Iced Coffee arrived. I had no idea that we would be getting so much! I like the half gallon containers so much more than all of the individual bottles and cans of Iced Coffee that we normally purchase. It is a much better value and produces less waste. Over the holidays I really enjoyed having some … [Read more...]

"I Don’t Wanna Be" Music of One Tree Hill

December 31, 2011 By 2 Comments

I think the music or soundtrack of a television show or movie really sets the stage. Some of the best loved songs of all time are from TV shows. For example, I don't ever think the theme song from MASH will ever be out of my head. Another such them song is "I Don't Wanna Be" from One Tree Hill. I really appreciate the message that this song gives us. After all, who wants to live their life worrying about what people might be thinking or saying about you. We should all be proud of who we are and where we came from.There have been several versions of "I Don't Wanna Be" during the last 8 seasons of One Tree Hill, but my favorite is most definitely the original version by Gavin DeGraw. I don't … [Read more...]

I recently had a conversation with someone about New Years Resolutions. I stated that I don't really agree in making resolutions for the new year, because more often than not they are not kept. Ever since that conversation I have not been able to stop thinking about things that I want to do in 2012. I have decided to make a 2012 To Do List instead. I am a list maker and often work through multiple To Do Lists each day. Here is a list of the 20 that things I have come up with so far.
