Cool Trick!

My friend called me today - she was reading my blog and noticed my frustrations on blogging out of chronological order. WELL! There's a way to change the date on your posts! So - here's what you do if you were anywhere as frustrated as me. . .

When you are in the 'compose post' window, you'll see at the bottom (*above* the 'publish post' button) a link that says "Post Options". Click that and a menu will appear below it. On the right hand side of that box, there's a spot that allows you to enter ANY date and time!! *SO*, if you have something you want to post, and it happened in 2006, you can do everything else for that entry as you normally would, but before you click 'publish post', you would change the date to Jan 4th, 2006. (Or whatever. . .) This is going to be super great for me since I would love to someday have a book made from my posts. . . Now things won't have to be all jumbled, AND, if I just don't have time to post right now, I can do it later, but it can someday be in order. . .

Hooray!! Thanks, Margo!!

Hope this is as exciting and informative to some of you as it was to me!

Looking Back and Looking Forward

It's been a long time (7 years to be exact!) since I've contributed to this blog.  It had been such a wonderful way to save all of our important family stories in one place. Sadly, we had an unfortunate incident back in 2013 where someone made horrifying comments on a dozen or more posts and it freaked me out. I decided to shut it down completely. And with that, I lost contact with so many of our cherished friends that we'd kept in touch with this medium. It also made it harder to distribute our fun family Christmas Cards! I'm taking some college courses this fall, for the first time in nearly 25 years! I'm finally finishing my degree and the plan is to go to grad school - time will tell. I'm still working at the office - mostly from home, and am reeling with the reality that half of my gorgeous girls have flown the nest and are loving their schools, but are so far away!

The Revealing!

  The Problem:   Tight financial situation. . . too many places our money needs to go! The Challenge:   To not spend any money on school clothes for the girls. . . Use fabric that I already have, clothes I already have, etc. The Result:  A *LOT* of fun!  The girls loved being able to be a part of the designing and making process.  I had fun knowing that I've hardly spent anything, yet the girls have a few fun new outfits for school!   Total Spent:  Less than $15.  This includes the new t-shirts with a couple of the skirts I made, a cute piece of fabric I have yet to use, and some elastic!  Everything else came from our own house! Vivien's First Outfit:   Her skirt is made from an old pair of blue cords that ALL four girls wore.  Vivs wore them last winter, and they were going in the goodwill box until I saw an idea online to make old jeans into skirts. . . this is what I came up with.  The material I bought when I was pregnant with Lillian!!  It was planned to be a nighty. . .

Proud to be a Detroiter?

I saw my friend, Tia's blog tonight and just had to say *something*. I'd been biting my proverbial tongue the last couple of days. There really HAS been more violence lately, it seems. It's like there was a tidal wave that began a while ago, and it's just gaining momentum and leaving a mess in it's wake. This article, while it had me giggling with the comparison of the two mayors with the first & last paragraphs, leaves me quite cold. I do hope that someday we will see an amazing turn around. This city has such an amazing history, and has the potential to once again be a great place. . . I've been wanting to share this video of a commercial that's been playing here. It gives me chills. There really are so many wonderful things about Detroit. . .. We just have to sometimes sift through the sand to find the treasures. . . Click here to watch the commercial.
