I’ve always liked Valentine’s Day. I like the colors and though hearts wouldn’t just be my thing, I like them at Valentine’s Day. Red has always been one of my favorite colors and in recent years, I love pink just as much. So the colors of Valentine’s Day rock for me! I like to check […]
Mending Jeans
I’m going to have to do it. I’m going to have to just bite the bullet and do it. See this pile? It’s called mending-that-needs-done. It’s called being a good steward and patching the holes in these otherwise good jeans. It means helping my budget out. But, I hate to patch pants. I’d rather toss […]

Coupon Code for Deborah & Co
Do you like to shop online? I tend to like it more all the time. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind doing my household shopping ALL online instead of trundling my cart around Wal-mart. When I shop online, I really like it if I have a coupon code or if I have an offer for free shipping! Today […]
Birthday Celebrations {Hello Monday}
Hello to birthdays and celebrations! Birthdays seem to spin around so quickly anymore. I like parties and celebrations, although it takes more energy for me than it used too. Hmmm…. My kiddos have totally enjoyed decorating their own cakes the last three years. I totally enjoy letting them. I read somewhere about kids’ decorating their […]

Guest Book
Do you have a guest book in your home? We were given one as a wedding gift and I have loved having it and using it. I don’t always remember to get it out for people to sign. Sometimes if a gathering is fairly casual or impromptu, I don’t pull it out. But I love […]
Celebrating Boy
If you want to remember what day the state you live in, became a state, just have a baby on that particular day. That’s what I did, and now I know when Kansas Day is. In fact, I think that’s when I learned when Kansas Day was. My mother-in-law was helping one of the teachers […]
It’s Another Monday!
Time for a few hellos! Hello to coughs and head colds. Not so happy to have you here. Renae had it first and I had a couple of days where I didn’t feel real great. Tucker caught it next and came down one morning feeling pretty rough. He seems to always get sick close to […]
My Girl
My girl. The one God gave to us. Thirteen years ago. So little and brand new. So cute and sweet and kissable. Emotions and memories that will stay in my heart forever. My girl. After close to twenty-four hours, we finally got to meet you. I couldn’t wait to hold you. So very close to […]
Olive Chicken
Today I have a yummy chicken recipe for you. My sister-in-law fixed it one of the first times we visited them. She’s a very good cook. I loved it and she gladly shared the recipe. I’m not sure I would’ve ever tried it from only reading the recipe. It would’ve sounded like a lot of […]
The Fun and Excitement of Playing Chicky-Boom
Do you remember the excitement of being a kid and having the thrill of playing or doing something fun or new? I have some really fun photos of my youngest niece when she was here at Christmastime. We played some games one evening and we played Chicky-Boom. It was new to her and she loved […]
A Tribute To Our Old House
A very old house. A very cold house. Yet, a home. The beginning of December we said good-bye to the old house that had provided us shelter for around fourteen years. We had a lot happen all at the same time, including my Grandmother going home to Jesus and a trip to Ohio, and then Christmas […]
A Week of Socializing
Hello to going places and to having company! In the last little-bit-over-a-week this family of introverts has had a fair amount of socializing. 🙂 Things always come in bunches it seems. We had supper with my husband’s brother and wife and baby, twice, we had a family get-together, spent Sunday a week ago at my […]
I Keep Forgetting…
I keep forgetting not to compare myself to others. I keep forgetting that no woman does everything. I keep forgetting that though someone else does this and this and this, she also doesn’t do that or that or that. I keep forgetting that I only need to stick to my priorities and I don’t have […]
Three Things: Milk
Three things I like about milk……….. I love buying milk in half gallons. I love drinking milk with brownies, gooey bars, chocolate chip cookie cupcakes……….the list is endless! I love milk with chocolate, but not necessarily chocolate milk. My husband likes him some chocolate milk though! I like cold, cold milk, but no ice in […]
