Why I want to simplify (and how you can too) from inspiredrd.com

A few weeks ago, or last month, or sometime in the recent future (my brain is too cluttered to remember exactly when), I had the overwhelming urge to simplify.

Blessings of a Small Home

The Blessings of Living in a Small Home by InspiredRD.com

Oftentimes I lament the fact that we live in a small home.  I just want to be able to spread out.  To decorate.  To paint (we rent). Then I pull out the vacuum and remember how much I loathe cleaning. In an instant, I’m thankful we don’t live in a mansion. And suddenly I’m counting [...]

While in Dallas last weekend, I not only got to get my bliss on, but I also had some good hang out time with my sister.  As she was driving me to the airport yesterday, I realized we had failed to take a single photo together.  So I pulled out my iPhone and attempted to [...]

How to remove a bead from your child's nose via InspiredRD.com

File this under things I never thought I would need to know. A certain someone stuck a certain yellow bead up a certain left nostril yesterday. While I waited for the triage nurse to call me back, I turned to Google for some help. Thankfully Danielle’s post came up right away, and I ended up [...]

Rainy day in Phoenix

This morning we woke up to this.

To the man who tells me I’m beautiful, even when I’m wearing a ratty sweatshirt, crazy hair and bags under my eyes. To the man who never lets me get away with taking life too seriously. To the man who makes grey look good (he’s going to hate that I said that!). Happy Anniversary, Jeff. [...]
