What Happens When We Stop Listening

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Real Women

Anyone who has read my blog over the years knows that I stay about 8,000 feet away from posting anything that can be remotely considered political or a hot-button issue.  Not because I don’t care about important issues, but simply … Continue reading →

Word Up.

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Real Women

Not surprisingly, I love words.  Both real words and creatively made-up phrases.  There are lots of supposedly official words that are virtually unknown but are super fun.  Like ferrule, the small piece of metal that separates the pencil from the … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2020 by Real Women

We are women. Many of us are also moms, grandmas, aunts, guardians, and caregivers.  It is in our DNA to protect and to worry, while at least attempting to show outwardly that we are calm and in control at all … Continue reading →

Walkin Around at Level 2

Posted on February 12, 2020 by Real Women

“I’m tired.”  Two words uttered as frequently as Love You, I’m Hungry, and What’s Up.  Let’s face it, we are beings who rarely feel rested and refreshed.  And when we do, it is short lived.  Most of us can probably … Continue reading →

Magic 8

Posted on November 25, 2019 by Real Women

I was doing some baking this weekend and it dawned on me that virtually every drop cookie recipe suggests an 8 minute bake time.  Less than that, say 6 minutes, and the cookies are too gooey or fall apart.  More … Continue reading →

Market Fluctuations

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Real Women

Well, I did it. I got up my courage, and I made a change. It’s going to take some getting used to, but the die is cast:  I have made the move to a different supermarket. Shocking, right?  Come on, … Continue reading →

Aren’t They All Special?

Posted on October 21, 2019 by Real Women

I’m pretty ambivalent about non-holiday special days and months.  I’m not sure why we need one particular day each year to remember to love and respect our mothers, our fathers, our dogs… shouldn’t those be every day?  And then there’s … Continue reading →

NSNF Month

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Real Women

It is September.  That month that is not really summer and not really fall.  Unless you live in the southwest, and it is hot-as-hades-stop-talking-about-sweaters season. But here in the Northeast, school has started, pumpkins and mums are available at farm … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2019 by Real Women
