Several of my readers have asked me for a health update after the series I did on my health journey, and since tomorrow marks my one year Trim-aversiary (when I started Trim Healthy Mama), I though this would be the PERFECT time to talk about how much my life has changed this year! Where I…
The Gift
I’m going to share something today that is sort of outside the box from my normal posts. It’s a personal story. Super personal…in fact, it’s just me and God in this story, and no words were ever spoken out loud. I usually don’t share stories about my faith, but this was one of the most…
An Odd Bird
The kids and I were amused by the newest resident of our little birdhouse. Usually, bluebirds, or the occasional chickadee couple will stop by to househunt on our back deck. But recently, this little guy has taken up residence, and comes out frequently to sun himself.
Tiny Flower Days
As soon as the weather warms up, and before the grass needs to be cut is my very favorite time of year. It’s the tiny flower days. Before bugs come out, and pollen starts to rain down. It’s the perfect time for an adventure. So we went out to picnic on this fine day in…

I’m Not More Better
Just so y’all don’t get the idea that I’m some sort of more better person than anyone else, I thought I’d share this story. This happened last week to “a friend”. So, it’s my husband’s birthday, and we haven’t had a date in a really long time. I decided to take him out to the…
Stuff Kids Say on Haircut Day
Some of the funny stuff my kids say on haircut day… (Mom) “If you are a good boy, you can have a sucker while I cut your hair, but you have to sit VERY still, and keep your mouth closed. And don’t chew on the sucker.” “Mom, remember when I didn’t like you to…
