Do you ever ask yourself, “Where did I get all this stuff?” I do – all the time. I made up my mind that 2023 was going to be the year of unhoarding. (I made that word up.) Experts would say decluttering, but the amount of stuff we have accumulated over the 20 plus years we’ve lived in our house goes way, way beyond clutter. My house is fairly clean (even though I hate housework),...
My husband and I attended a wedding at a resort in Dahlonega, Georgia, and stayed for a long weekend there. It turned out to be a great weekend for us.

Most of you probably know the routine. I would be exhausted and fall into bed for maybe 5 or 6 hours and get up and do it all over again. Where was my sweet husband in this equation? ...
When my daughters were young, we would buy packs of stickers and “play stickers” which meant that we would decorate each other with them. We would stick them on our arms and legs and face.
