Peppermint – Not Just Your Ordinary Candy

What comes to mind when you hear “peppermint”?  Candy canes? (okay, we are still close to Christmas)  Type of chewing gum?  Peppermint patty? I suspect we have all underrated the value of pure “peppermint”.  I have, and I took courses in the essential oils plus have the definitive “book” on foundational aromatherapy.  Just needed a

Digital vs Print

I love it when someone organizes the points perfectly and uses descriptive wording to express EXACTLY what I think!  So there is no re-inventing the wheel for me – I will just tag on some of my experience and thoughts. The blog that caught my eye was titled “Why Digital Photo Albums are a Million

Idols of Christmas

“Our society is as idolatrous as Paul’s was” says Henry Blackaby in his devotional written in 1998.     How could that be?  When I think of idols, I think of those statues and temples built in Biblical times.  Like the Golden Calf statue.  Remember?  Aaron claimed he threw the people’s gold “into the fire” and “out

Forever Chemicals

“ ‘Forever chemicals’ are in the products we use, food we eat, and water we drink.” A quote from Kevin Loria in his article for Consumer Reports titled “How to Avoid PFAS”.   So – who cares?  And what the heck is a PFAS?  Never heard of this – can’t they just leave us alone? Unfortunately,

So what is a “family historian”? Fun fact – Merriam-Webster does not have a definition for family historian.  And that is our usual “go to” source, right?   Well, trust me, in my years of doing photo scrapbooking as a hobby and later as a business, I have run into many family historians – and they

WHAT?  COLD & FLU SEASON AGAIN?

Just about a year ago, I did a blog on my “GoTo” kit because a ‘Super cold’ was going around – it was not COVID or the flu.  In fact, I had been at a retreat in the mountains and more than one person was either experiencing it or just recently had it or felt

Second Chance Memories

Do you take videos on your phone?  On your DSLR camera or camcorder?  Special events like weddings and baby’s first steps are the usual topics – but what about that quick video of a special friend, family get-together or just ordinary kids playing in the newly fallen snow? And who has super 8 movies, VHS

Consistency Conquers Incontinence

How often do you hear someone say they didn’t want to drink anything on the plane, or in the last hours before bedtime, or other occasions, “because I don’t want to have to go to the bathroom” on the plane, in the night, on a long car ride…or whatever? Did you know – “dehydration is

How do YOU Want to be Remembered?

How do YOU want to be remembered or known by future generations?  And WHAT do you want them to remember about you? This hit me when I saw the early picture of my grandmother taken before she was married.  It had been in my mother’s big dresser drawer where she pitched all photos – yes,
