    January 27, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My little boy is a teenager! Oh be still this momma’s heart. How in the world did that happen? Of course I know how this happened. This is life. These are the years that fly by. And it is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. The clock continues…

    Overdue for some randomness!

    January 12, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m long overdue for some randomness, I think. If you regularly follow my blog then you know I just have to throw an occasional random post in with something like a hundred different thoughts that are completely unrelated. I’m like that.  I like random. 1) I realized tonight, after a…

    Turkey Tuesday: Spaghetti Hotdish

    January 10, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Looking Ahead!

    January 2, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hello 2017! I don’t think I’ve ever been someone who wants to spend a lot of time looking back at the year that was. When I was an editor of a weekly newspaper back in the day, one of my responsibilities was to recap the entire year and write about…

    Christmas Eve ‘Eve’!

    December 23, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    As I sit here in our porch on Christmas Eve “Eve” – the night before Christmas Eve – I am feeling very blessed. How could I not? I have a family I adore. I have a day job that keeps me on my toes and allows me to utilize my…

    Weekend Snaps | What Day Is It?

    December 19, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    The whirlwind known as December continues and I only half in jest ask what day it actually is. 😉 Between my day job and my LuLaRoe business, the days are flying by and I haven’t had much time to blog. Add the holidays into the mix and all I can…

    Weekend Snaps | All in for a LuLaRoe Launch!

    December 4, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Sunday, friends! How has your weekend been?  Typically my Weekend Snaps posts contain a variety of photos of what we’ve been up to, but this weekend, I must admit that I have been mostly LuLaRoe focused. Now don’t worry, I still had plenty of family time, including a movie…

    Christmas Cheer

    November 28, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m bringing some Christmas cheer to this Monday because I think we’re all badly in need of it at my house. Ha! What is it about the Monday after a break that is so hard to handle? Joe had the toughest time waking up, I was a stressful mess at…
