Hey there friends! Guess what? My rescue pup Bobby is celebrating his first birthday next Tuesday! Lord have mercy, Bobby and I have had a crazy year. 🤪 I’ve been keeping up with his growth (now 70 lbs!), vaccines, etc. in my Notes app, but I’ve also realized that I want to be able to look back at other parts of our life together. And, I want to be able to easily add new stories and milestones while they are still fresh in my mind. Look for a special “Bobby’s Birthday” email next Tuesday, November 17. I’ve got some fun things to share with you and anyone else who might want to journal their pets’ lives. For today, I’m just going to leave you with a photo from my front yard. Despite a brutal summer and early fall with extreme heat and drought, our neighborhood trees are still managing to put on a show. Thank you, God. 🍁 Happy almost weekend, Take a photo. Write a little bit. Create a legacy story for your family. INTENTIONAL HOME - Decluttering & Curating Memories

Hey there friends! Holy moly. I can’t believe we are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. We had a prediction of a 40% chance of rain here and the TV weatherman assured viewers that it would just be a drizzle at worst. Whelp, it ended up raining all day - with the heaviest while the little ones were out in their costumes. 😳 Despite that, I think they all had fun. Getting free candy can overcome so many obstacles. Remember getting individual school...
Hey there friends! Happy Halloween Eve. 💀 I’ve been thinking about trick or treating all week because we’re trying to coordinate when I get to see my 2 little grandboys in their costumes. If you have been with us here since late 2024, then you know that I’ve confessed to ya’ll before that when my own children were little that we didn’t participate in trick or treating. In fact, you can read about that in this old issue. It's packed with all sorts of Halloween fun, so if you have time take a...
Hey there friends! Before Family History Month closes out with a bang on Halloween 🎃, I would like to give you one more family story thread to pull. Remember back in the olden days when you had to look up someone’s phone number in a paperback directory? 😂 And unbelievably sometimes even memorized it? Well, in some communities there was one more publicly available source of information about local residents. That source was called a City Directory. I don’t think I have ever seen a physical...
